Great Communication prior to our stay. Clear instructions on how to enter premises and check in. Two bedroom apartment was spacious for our family of 5, including 3 teenagers. Cooking facilities were in good working order and the full size fridge with freezer was great. Laundry in apartment was very handy for washing and drying towels and was stocked with laundry detergent. One more roll of toilet paper would have been great 😃

We stayed here for 9 nights. Great little apartment, kitchen, laundry, drier, ocean views, heated pool, nice grounds, friendly staff, easy walk into town (we like to walk), nice deck for people watching (looking straight at the esplanade), a great place to go and escape the southern cold! We will definitely stay here again!

We had 3 self contained apartments with views across the Esplanade and beyond. The rooms were very comfortable and met all our needs. The property manager Anthony was excellent, providing any assistance we needed. The pool was delightful and the surrounding gardens give privacy and a tropical setting.

Unit was good well equipped and comfortable for our stay. Downside was distance to town and walking a must. Recommend a bus to town etc from Lake st outside hospital but still a bit of a walk required. Anthony the manager v knowledgeable on the area but property needs some sort of transport for guests to commute. Probably wouldnt stay here again only because of proximity to town..
