Wonderful apartment, great location, lovely host

We booked this apartment for our daughter as it was close to Brentwood School. The school is a short walk away. The apartment is spacious, super clean and has a beautiful view of the bay. Fiona was exceptional. Super fast in responding to messages and always very kind, friendly and helpful. It was as if our daughter was staying with a family friend. Thank you vary much Fiona!

Beautiful Spot

We loved Fiona and Isabella's beautiful home, their warmth, and especially their sweet dogs, Jackson and Maggie. The upstairs rental was well equipped and nicely decorated. The only thing we were a little surprised by is how small the area is with the twin beds; it was hard to tell from the pictures. However, the amazing view from the window there, and the ocean breezes really made up for it. Thanks for a lovely weekend!

Great hosts comfortable room beautiful property

Husband and I and our 12 year-old daughter stay here for three nights while we were in the area for a rugby tournament. The house was so welcoming and made us feel right at ease. The property is beautiful and very secure. The garden is just filled with gorgeous plants and little details everywhere I had to take a lot of pictures. It’s on the waterfront so there’s a view from the window. Yeah there’s a path down to the water or a place to sit in the grass overlooking. It’s very close to many amenities. The room was super large and really comfortable. Everything was spotless. The host thought of everything that we would need in a hotel style room. But hotels don’t have this kind of charm or Detail and certainly you don’t have houses that are this great. We will definitely go back when we’re in the area. Mill Bay is beautiful and a gem of the island

The check-in instructions were sent to us by text, and we were able to get into the property smoothly. The room was clean and lovely, and we had a beautiful view of the lake from the window. The friendly owners and adorable dog made our stay extra special and relaxing. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. There was also a helpful list of shops and restaurants in Mill Bay. We tried a fish and chips restaurant from the list, and the food was delicious! Thank you for such a wonderful stay. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend this place!
