- "I was room 28-my car was parked at my room, which was good, but that made my car to be blocking the entrance to room 30 which is not good for R30 occupants to get in and out of their door and also big risk of the parked car getting scratched or damages due to lack of space Perhaps in the ads, mention should be made of the fact that there is no parking space at R29 onwards, so people can request a room from R27 down if they have a car. Longwinded I know, but just trying to point out the only thing that is not good about this place"

- "Beautiful townhouse overlooking the marina. Great position, well stocked house that caters for a perfect getaway. Wonderful hosts who go out of their way to make sure your holiday stay is enjoyable. Highly recommend." - "Karen and Jim are wonderful hosts of a beautiful property. They asked what we wanted to get out of our stay and went out of their way to facilitate our needs. We wanted to go fishing and relax. The property is perfectly suited to both of those activities. Combine that with the knowledge of Jim about the tides, where to fish etc and Karen's wonderful way of making you feel completely relaxed. Our family had a brilliant time in a clean, well-appointed house, that was everything that the advertisement said it was. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property and I hope to stay again in the future."
