Fantastic Private Getaway!

Written by: Yogi N. - Guest

July 22, 2014

Overall, this home exceeded my expectations in every way and it helped to create memories for my family that will last a lifetime.

From the moment we got of the captain’s boat, I knew my family vacation was off to a great start. The house itself looks impressive and once inside the views, decorations and rooms reassured me that this was the place to be. Every room was clean and beautifully detailed. The views from the second floor could not get any better, breathtaking at times. And having the entire beach to yourself was more than I had expected. Overall, this home exceeded my expectations in every way and it helped to create memories for my family that will last a lifetime.

Yes, some naive websites have attempted to compile a list. And yes, Yelp acknowledges the existence of dining on the island, but other than that, not much. This is especially odd considering the island hosts nearly a million visitors each summer.

“The best part of staying at Spatenga Walk was enjoying the amazing outdoor space.”


Complete Testimonial

“The best part of staying at Spatenga Walk was enjoying the amazing outdoor space. With ample decks, terraces, and a rooftop, our group enjoyed the stunning ocean and bay views and barely spent any time indoors.

The kitchen, however, was my second-favorite place in the house with the modern appliances and sleek design. Future vacationers need not bring any cookware to the house – it’s marvelously stocked!"
