We rented from Lydia in February. She was a bit slow in responding, and I sent her a message that she was getting slammed on TTOL for not responding. She said she knew that, but didn't seem to matter. We rented Natica - 3/2 with pool, it was great. Never saw Lydia but called on a couple of things and she always answered.
We always rent a car, usually through Lesley.
As for vittles, Petit Casino in the Village is great. If you do rent a car, Simply is only about 5 minutes away.
