    “JD was a very gracious host and was very responsive with any questions we may have had. The home is beautiful, you definitely get a work out in going up and down the stairs, it’s great exercise. The only MINOR Incident we had was the TV outside wasnt working. My guys love hockey and were bummed they had to watch it in doors. It’s a minor inconvenience. The house is very clean and well stocked with necessities. We love the island and the people we’ve met. I recommend this home and the wonderful host!! Enjoy, we surely did!!
