Our stay here was better than we imagined. Kate and Cleo are awesome hosts. The suite is wonderful. The property was filled with trees, plants and flowers. The proximity to the beach was a boon for us. We loved walking on the Royston Seaside Trail. Watching the tide waxing and waning made our trip memorable.

Beautiful home, beautiful location. This a taste of island life. The property is amazing BUT not entirely private as the owner lives on site and you will see and interact with her daily. She is a lovely woman and not intrusive. I would definitely stay here again.
