Summary: Wow, Buena Vista house exceeded our expectations in every way! The old governor's home has been completely renovated and updated. The spacious and modern bathrooms, large comfortable bedrooms with great views and well-stocked and updated kitchen. The screened-in porch, wrap around decks on two levels plus the "crow's nest" gave us lots of space to spread out. The pool with the big deck and plenty of outdoor seating was great to enjoy after a day at the beach. Dominic and Joy, the property managers, were always in touch with us to see if we needed anything. It was a short walk into Governor's Harbor, Buccaneer Club and to French Leave beach. It was the perfect location and the perfect house!
