We had a lovely time in the house. There's everything you need. Location is great for everywhere on the island. There's plenty of free parking. Loved the balconies, shame the weather wasn't kinder.

The house is on 4 floors and suits couples, with only one room with 2 x single beds. Well appointed and plenty of space. Toilets on each floor. Coffee, tea and milk available on arrival were appreciated. As was the bottle of Prosecco. The location is really nice, on the water by the marina. Many of the houses have permanent residents who are Read morefriendly and chatty. Pubs nearby and walks too. Only about 30 minutes from pretty much anywhere. Just beware the mosquitos, even on the top floor. Sunrises and sunsets are available from the verandas. Hide

The nicest place we've stayed. Great location for visiting the island. 10 minutes from a choice of supermarkets. Fantastic views from all 4 floors. Very quiet & private. Plenty of space for 2 families. Could happily have stayed longer.

Superb location and great house, on three floors (so you get fit walking up and down the stairs). But our week was marred by arriving to a freezing property and then a property manager who was unhelpful, rude and defensive. Quite incredible. Secondly, the cleaning wasn't great. We found a dirty grill pan in the oven and sweet wrappers on the floor Read morein the bedroom and living room, All in all, disappointing. For the money, I expected much better. Hide
