We had an amazing week in this North Side hideaway. The view from the house is worth every penny! The North Side is about 45-1 hour from all of the main attractions on 7 mile- turtle experience, boat tours, large grocery, etc. But, if you’re looking for a quieter, private island kind of feel, this is the place. The snorkeling in your backyard is better than the rest of the island! We also loved the beach / restaurant at Rum Pointe, and the ambience at Kaibo. The outdoor space at the home was also amazing, as were the kayak and the paddle board.
The unit itself was a bit more rundown than I expected. It was pretty fully stocked with beach towels, spices, kitchen tools, etc. however, there is only a charcoal grill, some of the light bulbs were out, the cable didn’t work, and in some spots tile was missing, or there was noticeable wear and tear. There also were not any life jackets for the kayak (safety issue), and no doors on the bathrooms in both upstairs rooms. None of these things would change our minds about staying here again, but just noted for the future.
All in all, a fantastic, memorable, trip of a lifetime.
