Gorgeous place to stay

We were lucky to have 4 nights at this delightful accomodation in Penneshaw. It is one of the best places we have stayed. Lovely views from the main rooms including the bedroom, you can watch the ferry arrive and depart, walk up the beach to a great coffee shop and travel to interesting sites on the island. I highly recommend the cannery walk at American river, it is about 1 hour

Great location, very welcoming.

Well appointed, had everything we needed. The heating and lights were on as we arrived after dark in winter. The owner was easy to contact when the directions given via stayz app were inaccurate. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Shower had good pressure. It was a pleasure to stay there. Thank you.

Beachfront Paradise

The property is immaculate. It has everything you need for a perfect holiday. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bed linen and towels were superb. The view from the front verandah is stunning and a perfect way to spend an afternoon watching the world go by. Jayne was the perfect host, meeting us on arrival and contacting us on the evening before we left the Island. We would highly recommend the property.

Excellent stay

We have a very good time. The property was right on the beach. Jayne has an eye for smalles things..very clean. She even gave us extra time to vacant the property and also offered early check in. Thanks Jayne, we appreciate tiur help. Two things I suggest (this is not a con but a suggestion) for a better experiences:1. One aircondition in the living toom is not enough for the whole house to heat up, may be a heater would help. But we had enough blankets for night though. 2. The floor is tiled may be a mat or carpet in the living room will be good, considering the cold winter and the proximity of the beach.Overall we had a good time and will come back again in summer.
