An absolute treat!

Karen and Paul operate a quintessential short-term rental...the 'penthouse suite', as we called it. Clean, bright and airy with a view, it was a comfortable stay we were sad to leave. Highly recommended.

Perfect for wedding weekend

We had a fantastic stay at Karen and Paul's property. We were travelling for a weekend wedding at Carool which was an easy 20 minute drive away. The beds were very comfortable and the apartment contained everything we could need. Highly recommended.

A perfect home away from home.

The property and location was amazing, there was no detail overlooked, it had everything you need for a long stay and more. My family and I had an amazing stay, the beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need, the beauty of the sunsets and sunrises from the balcony were stunning.... we even got to see dolphins at dusk on the kayaks provided at the property. Not to mention the hosts were lovely and extremely accommodating. Thank you Karen and Paul for allowing us to stay at your property, it was an experience the kids will remember for a long time, they already miss the friends they made next door and cannot stop talking about the dolphin experience. 10/10 stay.

Nice area

I really liked the neighborhood we stayed in. There were a lot of dogs around though and there are 2 in the house downstairs that bark alot. When the owner leaves the dogs bark all the time. There is construction going on across the water but that has nothing to do with the rental place other than the noise you hear. There were a lot of amenities in the house that i liked but some things were sub par for example sinking into the bed and the sheets are yellow not white.There was a storm a few nights before we left and the roof leaked. We told the owner about it and he said it would be fixed again after we left. I bought some cleaning products to clean the place as we stayed a while and there was nothing to use. plplace.cleanprodpar.place..
