- "We were quite lucky to find Berta's place available in the height of summer. I think it's the best location to get to most tourist spots in the island. Berta is the ultimate host trying to accommodate our needs and more. Only hiccup was when we shopped for dinner to cook and found out there's no full kitchen! But that's my bad for not really reading the details of the kitchenette. This place is for those who don't really want to cook as there's no full on kitchen with stove and sink. We had to wash out dishes in the bathroom sink. But we had a good night's rest, which is what's important for our trip! The airconditiong in also made us all comfortable after spending the day out in the sun! Thank you, Berta!"

- "Absolutely wonderful! A perfect getaway!" - "We had a wonderful stay at this cozy little VRBO! It has everything that you could possibly need at your fingertips. We were able to cook some meals and enjoy some chilling out time on their cozy sofa. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets if needed. The kitchen was well equipped as was the bathroom. It was perfect for what we needed when visiting the Duncan area. It is a little far away from amenities and high on a hill. We will be back and probably look into renting it again. Thanks to the owners Mark and Maggie for welcoming us with a fresh baked loaf of bread! A nice touch!"
