Great place to stay. The host was very communicative and helpful. Location was great for us and the kitchen was well stocked for quick meals. Would highly recommend to anyone
This unit was probably the cleanest place that I have rented. It’s located in a residential neighborhood but able to walk to a couple of restaurants on the water. There are chickens and roosters everywhere but that didn’t bother us. They did provide ear plugs if needed. The only negative response I have was I wished they’d put the air conditioner on prior to our arrival. The unit is very hot without it on. We ended up leaving right away anyways to go grab food and it was more enjoyable when we got back.
Nelle was way beyond helpful! Anticipating our needs and offering caring support. The bed and pillows were so comfortable it makes us want to get a new mattress when we return home.
Great bed and pillows! Lovely balcony. Friendly neighbors. Close to two markets. Excellent host. Very accommodating and helpful. excellrnt communicator, quick to respond.
We had a fabulous time!! Plenty to do & see - all within walking distance. It was perfect for our trip.

Disliked: Location
We will not stay there again.Pros: check-in easy. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Cons: lack of hot water in the shower and water pressure was extremely low. Almost not enough water to rinse my hair. The unit needs a lot of TLC, especially the kitchen.
My husband and I got off the ferry and the location of the stay was a short cab ride away. Very convenient, close to the marina where we have our charter. Spacious, clean, aircon, and comfortable bed. Good value. Thank you for welcoming us to your home.
Chose the location due to proximity to Nanny Cay for charter. Space was as advertised and very clean. Just the A/C in the bedroom but was fine for me. Host was available to answer questions about locking up the door when out. Great kitchen and utensils available. Thank you!
The apartment was nice and clean, the air conditioning works great, furniture is comfortable, beds are comfortable, and the host is amazing! The roosters on the other hand woke me up everyday at 6:30. I am not an early riser, so this was a bit of a challenge for me. I did enjoy staying here and if you're pretty good sleeper, you'll be just fine. Say hi to Nelly and Ella for me!
Great place and ideally situated if you are arriving in advance of your Sailing at Nanny Cay. We arrived 3 days in advance of our sailing trip and had the opportunity to provision the boat and prepare for our trip. Its only a few minute walk to where we load onto the boat. The only minor downside is that the roosters are a bit noisy in the early mornings but otherwise a basic and simple lodging to prepare for the main event. We will be staying here again on our next trip to do our provisioning! Thanks again!
