You can throw a stone into the water from our spacious 65 FOOT WIDE wrap around deck with SPECTACULAR, sweeping views across the harbor, the town, the beach and the ocean.

We are superbly located just steps away from the beaches, shopping, restaurants, bars and all the recreational activities like swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, parasailing, volleyball and the many great sightseeing tours which are available. We are also a very short, level walk from the boat dock.
Although our property is older, in the opinions of numerous repeat guests, our superior location and wonderful, relaxing and spectacular view decks is what attracts them to us year after year. Many of our regulars have been coming for more than 15 straight years.

This home was everything we hoped it would be! There were 5 couples and we fit just perfect. Although we experienced some May & June gloom, we didn't let it stop us from having a fantastic time. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

One of the most memorable trips in all my 60 years. Great place to celebrate life - relaxed, stress free, wonderful island people and island charm. We'll be back for sure!

Thank you for opening your house up for us. We loved the location. It was the perfect size for our extended family and we enjoyed eating most of our meals out on the deck with the incredible views. We recommend the kayaks and the glass bottom boat tour. For breakfast we liked Jack's the most.

What fun! Catalina was fabulous as always and we can't say enough about the accomodations. We will be back for sure. Thank you to the Grisham's and we hope the next lucky group that comes enjoys it as much as we did. By the way, our best meal was at Antonios.
