We had a great stay with our kids at this fantastic townhome! A lot of space to spread out. Great sized rooms, lots of kitchen supplies. We found the back patio very relaxing and even the neighbors were lovely. We would definitely stay again.

Central Island Perfection

Short stay on the island for family Christmas and this fit our needs perfectly! Location was perfect - close to the airport & shoping. Very clean, well equipped, layout is great, beds slept well and kids of all ages were happy ( happy parents). Will definitely rebook for our next holiday in SSi!
