"Our second year staying in the exact same apartment at Sails, and it was just as lovely as the first time. Excellent location overlooking the water, and less than 1 minute walk to the beach and to the shops at Horseshoe Bay, The kitchen is really well set up to cook, and we comfortably had 3 people all in the kitchen at once and it didn't feel too crowded. A really lovely place to stay to have a relaxing holiday on Maggie!"
