Summary: Perfect stay! Beautiful home. There was extra laundry soap, paper towels, sunscreen, and tons of coffee k-cups. You really don’t need to go to the grocery specifically for these items. Tons of beach towels, bath towels, hand towels, dish towels, wash cloths etc. Comfortable beds. Nice seating on the deck. Cushions are in the garage. Appreciated having a dehumidifier! It was so humid when we visited. Really could not think of anyway to improve this listing. The best VRBO/Air B&B we have EVER stayed at. Tip: In the evenings, set the fans in front of the screened windows and the house will cool quickly. We were there in June. We were able to drive the entire island. No regrets with The Horse House.
