The Tommy Bahama Island house is 100 years old and is a fun, funky, beach house with character and will be enjoyed by wanna be beach bums, families who just want to walk to the beach and don't mind getting sand on the floor, fun loving guests who want to sit on the porch and watch the never ending excitement at the Ship Wreck Bar across the street, but may not be suited for well heeled, upscale, picky, fussy folks as it has all the quirkiness of 100 year old homes which included converted porch rooms, unusual sized rooms, low porch ceiling on air conditioned porch room, not an outlet on every wall, and has aged over 100 years, kind of like a fine wine. We prefer demanding upscale well heeled travelers not rent this house and then write bad reviews. We suggest you read every review and if you want upscale perfection you should find another 3 bedroom house.
