Autumn beach escape
A great location on the island. The house was perfect. The photos online do not do it justice. Very big and spacious in person, easily accommodating 3 families while still allowing all to have their own space. Games room was a big hit with the teens and the back yard was perfect for the little ones to run around.

Penquins on Church
Entering through the front door we were greeted with a large, bright and inviting home. There was plenty of room for 8 Adults and we took full advantage of the outdoor entertaining area. A beautiful garden was the perfect back drop for pre Wedding photos. The host was so helpful through the whole experience and was prompt to reply to my emails.This property exceeded our expectations and I have already recommended it to other friends. We hope to stay again in the not to distant future.
