Beautiful ocean view home equipped with everything you need to have a wonderful stay
We loved our time at Betty and Chris's home. The view of the ocean was stunning and we walked the 5 minutes to the beach any chance we had! The kitchen was well equipped for our large group. The beds and bedding were comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious. We enjoyed the 2 decks which provided opportunity to catch the sun in the morning and afternoon. We would definitely stay again!

Our Home away from Home
We were very pleased with the accommodation. Location was in a quiet neighbourhood with a view to the ocean and central to many of the Island attractions. On the downside we were unable to reach the owners on two occasions by email.

Wedding party and Gr
We were delighted with the home. It felt like home from home. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and living are were great. We cooked most meals in the house as the family had allergies. Having all the condiments in the kitchen was great. I would highly recommend this lovely home. Olive.
