Amazing place to stay! Well appointed, great views, very comfortable beds. Great kitchen! Well stocked! Within distance of shops and restaurant as well as the ferry over to Russell. My sister, brother in law and I had a wonderful time. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and the beauty, comfort and cleanliness of this well kept apartment! Worth the trip!! Thanks.

Stunning spot
Beautiful place to spend our summer break. You can tell everything within the house has been very carefully thought about. And nothing could beat sitting out on the deck watching the boats.
