MarkstheSpot was great so clean and refreshing; nicley decorated; front and back decks were comfortable and great to sit, watch and listen to beach sounds-birds, waves, kids having fun, people walking dogs while we just relaxed and drank coffee. Kitchen is so well stocked. Just a short walk to the beach. We, 3 generations 7-70's, enjoyed making memories. Kevin and Melissa were great hosts. We will be back.

The property was very clean and nicely decorated with everything needed to enjoy our month long stay. Very relaxing and quiet part of the island with upper and lower decks for R and R.Nice to be outside with areas out of the rain.Overall, a great stay.

We stayed at this house for nearly a week. Our review of this property is mixed:*Some of the photos on this listing need to be updated: there were photos depicting the view of the bay which showed a green space across from the house, however, this green space no longer exists as there are now 2 large, 2-story houses there. May want to ask for updated pics before renting this house if the view is of importance.*The 2 houses across the bay and another 2 doors down (all in very close proximity) were under construction during our stay. The owners did not notify us about the construcrtion until the day of our arrival. Next door neighbors advised us construction started a year ago.*Noise from the construction resulted in us often not being able to enjoy the outdoor space. A couple days it was so loud, we left the house. Recommend inquiring as to the current state of construction before renting.*We were advised on the day of arrival that a starter supply of paper towels/TP was provided & that we would need to buy more; a little more advance notice would have been appreciated. We don't mind bringing our own supplies, but by the time we were notified, we had left home and were on the road*Many of the windows could not be opened or had screens full of large holes*House was very clean upon our arrival*Kitchen was well stocked; huge supply of plates, glasses, coffee mugs, utensils, etc.
