4-Acre Estate on Banks Rd, House & Guest cottage, Pool, Calm Protected Beach

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! The AC has been repaired. The property manager is looking into installing a booster to get the Starlink internet working well in the guest cottage.

It's a 3 1/2 minute walk down the dirt driveway from the house to the beach. You don't have to cross any roads. Most guests will find that it is not necessary to drive the distance to the beach.

We appreciate your feedback. &nbsp;Miss Ruby is recently been purchased by new owners. &nbsp;While the home continues to be available for rent, the owners are planning to &nbsp;enhance both its appearance and overall guest experience.<br /> Over the coming months, you&rsquo;ll see visual upgrades that refresh and elevate the property, along with behind-the-scenes improvements to ensure everything functions exactly as it should. The focus includes making sure key amenities &mdash; such as the pool, water pressure, showers, essential systems, and a&nbsp;brand new 28kw diesel generator for power &nbsp;back up-are well maintained, reliable, and enjoyable.<br /> Their goal is simple: to preserve what guests already love while investing in meaningful improvements that make each stay more comfortable, seamless, and relaxing. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the upgrades along the way.

We are so glad you enjoyed Miss Ruby, but sorry that some of your traveling companions were bitten by noseeums. Here’s advice about noseeums, which you will also find in our FAQs: If noseeums are present at all, they will come out at dusk and in the evening, so they won’t be a problem during the day. The most foolproof preventative is a pair of long pants and socks, because they go after legs and ankles. The evenings are usually comfortable, so you can wear long pants outside if necessary. Another popular solution is to cover your legs and ankles with baby oil. The little bugs can’t bite through a layer of oil. The bite of a noseeum is not very bothersome, but don't make the mistake of ignoring them. If they are out, as soon as you feel the first little bite, put on your long pants and socks, or your baby oil, or go inside. Otherwise, if you are allergic to their bites, you will wake up the next day with many itchy bumps on your legs.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We apologize for the WIFI issue. It is working now. Normally, you can walk around the point onto the mile-long walking beach, except at high tide. We are 3 1/2 miles from Governors Harbour, so a 7 minute drive.

A couple of clarifications regarding distances and time: I actually timed the walk to the beach once with a stop watch and it was 3 1/2 minutes. Tippy's is one mile away, and the drive takes 2 minutes.
