Perfect family get away

We have come to the island at least twice year for the last 9 years as we love it! We’ve stayed all over the island but love to be close to our favourite beach - Smiths beach. This was perfect as it’s a short walk to the beach. The house was thoughtfully furnished and well stocked. The boogie boards were a bonus as we forgot to bring ours. It was very clean and we all felt very comfortable with my 16 year old downstairs with his own bathroom and bedroom. The 12 year old had her own room upstairs. Perfectly set out for us. There were cards, dvds, kids books, badminton, cricket sets. Very thoughtful.Short walk to the cafe for a coffee too. We swam 2 times a day with the outdoor shower perfect to ensure no sand comes into the house. Loved the house - we’ll be back! Thanks Pamela - you were a terrific host

Sparkling clean, and an amaazing location.

This property was super clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of little added touches like coffee and chocolates. What a lovely stay.Of course, the real star is the location. Just 3 minutes walk to smiths beach and 2 minutes to the cafe.Would highly recommend.

The location of this property is it's highlight. Just a walk to the beach and cafe. The house itself is very comfortable, with a large garage to keep surf boards etc (they also have boogie boards and games for kids). Downstairs had a separate bedroom with bunks and an ensuite and small lounge/tv - perfect for my teenage son and upstairs was a well equipped kitchen, lounge, 2 bedrooms and bathroom. The phone signal and wifi has a very weak signal so there was not streaming services and I was unable to log into work which I had hoped to do, however I can't say I complained! Switching off was a pleasure and with the beach around the corner we had no need to the tv! They did have a selection of dvds however if you really wanted to chill in front of a movie. Pamela was an amazing host. She was very responsive, attentive and courteous A pipe had fallen outside the property and she had a plumber over within a couple of hours to fix it. Amazing service. Thank you Pamela for a wonderful stay. We will be back

Nice time

We had a nice time. The only concern was the stairs were steep (a bit too steep for toddlers). The balcony’s are more suited for older children also. And the house is more of a town house with neighbours directly next to you side by side. You can hear the waves of the beach which was lovely. We went on the Easter holidays and for some reason a lot of activities and restaurants were not open on Monday and Tuesday and even some Wednesday. The Smith corner store (more of a gourmet cafe) was lovely but $$$$$ and shuts at 3pm. Wish we had of known so we would have booked for a weekend.
