Wonderful Family Vacation-- A Trip to Remember!

Our stay at Shorecrest II was fantastic! Ernie's home was amazing! The kitchen is fully equipped and everything was in great working order. The views from the house were simply breathtaking. Ernie & Dolly had thought of every need we might have during our stay, including having boogie boards for my kids. A family favorite was to watch the sun rise from the deck- just gorgeous. We built sand castles, grilled out, snorkeled, took long walks on the beach and ate way too many conch fritters- we could not have asked for a better vacation. The pictures don't do justice to the home or ocean- it is truly paradise! The logistics of our trip went perfectly. Ernie was so easy to work with in renting the house, and once on the island Troy and Maria made sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend renting Shorecrest II to anyone who wants to spend a week in paradise.

Amazing (out) out island get away

Wanting to avoid the all-inclusive black hole, my wife and I found and booked Shorecrest as a last-minute get away. We were a little nervous about what to expect, as there weren’t many reviews here and it seemed too good to be true. It wasn’t. It was amazing. The house is beautifully maintained… clean and cozy. It looks better than all the pictures here. It feels private and relaxed, but Nippers and the settlement are only a 10 minute bike ride away. The beach right in front of the house is a bit rocky in spots, but beautiful and comfortably swimmable. And the weather was great, even in February. Booking with Ernie was a breeze and the on-site assistance of Troy and Maria was great – we were picked up from the ferry and had lots of help and advice figuring out how to settle in. With the two legs of the flight and the ferry from Marsh Harbour, it’s definitely a bit of a trek if you’re used to a one-flight trip, but well worth it if you appreciate a real community feel and a beautiful landscape. We’ll be back for sure.
