All I can say is wow! The house was clean and spacious and the beds were so comfortable. Drinking coffee overlooking the ocean from the top deck and watching the sunset was my absolute favorite activity. The owner Doug was very helpful and we were blown away at the hospitality we received from Joanne and her crew. Joanne helped us coordinate our golf carts, boat parking, brought us towels and other very needed items. This easily saved us a full day of trial & error as first timers on the island. Joanne is beyond amazing and made our weekend so special, thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: we had a wonderful time at Breesy Palms, the layout was perfect and had everything we wanted.
This was such a special home for our family vacation. Gorgeous views, pristine condition and extremely well stocked with all the essentials of home and more. The pool was delightful and the gym was a huge bonus for us all. The host was a great communicator and set us up with a local concierge that helped to make our week even more special. Can’t wait to return!
This house really felt like its own oasis while still being close to town! We travelled with another couple and two young kids and this house was the perfect size and the outdoor space was unbeatable! We could not stop saying how stunning the views were whether sitting on the front porch in the morning with coffee, the screen in porch at sunset, or enjoying lounging by the pool. On top of that the caretaker for the house, Chase could not have been nicer! He helped us with our bags, picked up groceries, and was always accessible by text. On top of that he is an amazing cook that we hired to cook fresh seafood for us two nights. We will definitely be back and will be booking this house again!
Joanne was excellent about getting us anything we needed and very quickly. House was perfect for 2 families with teens and younger children. Plenty of places to sleep and bathrooms for everyone. Well stocked with towels for bath & beach/boat. Kitchen could have used a few more staple items such as cookie sheet, baking dishes. Tupperware for storing leftovers and some casual drinking glasses(not glass) for kids. Place was truly great tho. Our families had a wonderful stay. We would definitely stay again.
