The carriage house was absolutely lovey! I stayed with my husband and 5yr old daughter and it was perfect for us. Our host was responsive and accommodating. The house was clean and organized, and my personal favourite was the bedding, it felt like we were staying a good fiends place. Thanks to our host for a wonderful and memorable stay.

Nice spot by the marina

We walked across the street to one of Maple Bay’s beautiful serine beaches. Oysters and shells (not edible), and slate rocks to sit on to take in the view. The main bed was comfortable the sofa bed was soft so maybe for kids or one adult. The kitchen was well stocked with all that you need to cook simple meals. Overall, we will come back to this lovely little place.

If you want a quiet comfortable place to stay away from the crowds and the ability to prepare your own meals then this is it. Immaculately clean and everything provided is quality. A perfect central island location to access all the sights. We loved it here! 😊
