LOVE this property. Very clean, very nice accommodations. I would definitely recommend & definitely stay here again. Only suggestion I have is a couple of throw blankets downstairs would be a nice addition.

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!

Perfect rental for our summer holiday in SSI. The beds were comfortable with lots of pillows. The towels were thick and fluffy. There was a washer and dryer in the rental which was welcome. The kitchen was adequate for preparing meals for our party of 6. The patio was perfect to sit with early AM coffee. The pond was lovely with several large turtles and fish inside. The master suite was excellent with en suite bathroom. The master had a double vanity, large tub and large step in shower. Everything was tasteful and clean. Communication with the hosts was seamless. Thank you so much for hosting my family.
