Gather around the sizable flat screened T.V. to bond over a favorite movie in the living room, or retire to the lounge for intimate conversation or an engaging game nighttime.

Three bedrooms allow space for your entire group including one king bed, one queen and a queen futon. After a long day full of island adventures, relax with a relaxing soak in the enormous tub in the shared bath, or ease weary muscles in the relaxing steam shower located in the en-suite master bathroom.
