This was our first time in St Helena, and I doubt we will be back. Generally, things were clean, the property manager was courteous, the house was well stocked, and the location was ok. But I did not feel like it was worth the price we paid.
Location
-The description mentioned it was located close to a beach, walking distance to Coffin Point Beach. This is misleading if you don't know the area. We were disappointed to see that the "beach" was actually just an inlet at very low tide. There were several yards of soggy sand/mud before you got to any water (and beware! It's like quick sand it some places and you may get stuck!). No ocean waves here, it was weirdly quiet.
-Hunting Island was about a 10 min drive, which is where we spent the weekend. Normal beach scene here! It was priced per person to get access, not per vehicle. This can add up if you come here every day.
-The house itself is off a dirt road with some trailers, some houses surrounding it. Lots of bugs outside, so bring bug spray
The house
-This is not a typical home, it is a modular home. Not necessarily a problem.
-The water pressure was the biggest issue for us! You can't run more than one thing at a time (shower, dishwasher, washing machine). With 10 people in the house after a day at the beach, this was a problem.
-The shared hall bathroom had a funky smell and I think there may have been a mold issue. This bathtub also did not have good drainage.
-Dining table very high, problem for kids and older people.
