We have done HHI several times as a family, and this was by far the best experience from a convenience standpoint. We have 3 boys under the age of 5 so convenience is EVERYTHING. If you can't afford or don't want to pay the ridiculous prices of beachfront living, this is the next best thing. Having a grocery store a 5-7 minute walk away, and a 10-15 minute walk to the nicest beach on the island was great. Or you can be lazy like we were and take the 1 minute drive to the Coligny Beach parking lot. Also, it looks like they are in the process of putting in a fantastic park for kids in the same area (5 minute walk).
If you tire of the beach, the pool is right down those black spiral steps and was gorgeous! The condo itself was well maintained and very clean. The community pool has always been a bit of a walk from the places we stayed, so we never did quick dips or night swims. This time around it was too easy not to.
The bedrooms are bright and spacious, and having 2.5 bathrooms was a huge blessing as well. We actually turned one of them into a makeshift bedroom for our 2 yo because it was big enough to fit a pack n play. The kitchen is a little tight on counter space, but we made multiple meals in there without issue. If you are doing any major cooking you might want to pack a good cutting knife and an additional pot/pan, but we made do just fine.
The property manager was very friendly and easy to reach. We had an issue with our refrigerator making an odd noise when we first arrived, and they were there first thing in them morning to resolve the issue.
The condo community itself was well maintained and respectful of things like pool hours/quiet hours.
All in all, we cannot say more about how big of a blessing this condo was to our family, and the ease and relaxation it added to our trip.
Thanks for an incredible week away! When life allows another trip to the island we love, we will certainly look here first!
