Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, fully renovated and well-appointed appartement. The location in Orient Bay is golden and within walking distance to the beach and several excellent restaurants, bakeries and cafés. We especially enjoyed the balconies, situated on each floors to relax in the morning and unwind at the end of the day. The host Isabelle is extremely helpful and receptive and gave us precious tips which made our trip even more memorable. We highly recommend this property to any couples or group of 4 and would definitely book it again in the future.

Delightful Family Vacation

We had an relaxing and enjoyable time at the beautiful Appartement Nakupenda! There was plenty of space for our family of four and we had all the amenities we could wish for in a vacation rental (2 balconies, dishwasher, washer/dryer, pool, parking spot, a couple beach chairs) and more! We were impressed with the decor as well as location as we were able to walk to restaurants and the beach. Our host Isabelle was very kind, very communicative as well as accommodating. We are grateful to have stayed here and will come back in a heartbeat! Thank you Isabelle!

Excellent !!

Nous avons passé une petite semaine à Pâques avec 3 adolescents dans cet appartement extraordinaire.Il est extrêmement bien situé. On peut tout faire à pied (plage, commerces, restaurants, supérette, centre nautique).Chacun pouvait faire ce qu'il souhaitait durant la journée (plage, piscine, beach volley, snorkeling...). La résidence est très safe.Le centre est charmant pour diner le soir.Avec une voiture, on peut accéder à l'embarcadère de Cul-de-sac en 10 minutes, pour visiter les îles.L'appartement a été refait récemment avec beaucoup de goût. Il est très bien équipé et très agréable à vivre.La climatisation est efficace !Enfin, Isabelle est une hôte parfaite, à la fois discrète et disponible. Tout à fait arrangeante pour l'arrivée et le départ, et qui vous donnera tous les conseils pour profiter de votre séjour.Tout le monde a adoré.Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !
