Perfect family get away
We have come to the island at least twice year for the last 9 years as we love it! We’ve stayed all over the island but love to be close to our favourite beach - Smiths beach. This was perfect as it’s a short walk to the beach. The house was thoughtfully furnished and well stocked. The boogie boards were a bonus as we forgot to bring ours. It was very clean and we all felt very comfortable with my 16 year old downstairs with his own bathroom and bedroom. The 12 year old had her own room upstairs. Perfectly set out for us. There were cards, dvds, kids books, badminton, cricket sets. Very thoughtful.Short walk to the cafe for a coffee too. We swam 2 times a day with the outdoor shower perfect to ensure no sand comes into the house. Loved the house - we’ll be back! Thanks Pamela - you were a terrific host

Perfect family stay
We had such a relaxing stay at Pamela’s place! The house was super clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to shop & beach, but quiet. Pamela was friendly , responsive, helpful and a pleasure to communicate with. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Nice time
We had a nice time. The only concern was the stairs were steep (a bit too steep for toddlers). The balcony’s are more suited for older children also. And the house is more of a town house with neighbours directly next to you side by side. You can hear the waves of the beach which was lovely. We went on the Easter holidays and for some reason a lot of activities and restaurants were not open on Monday and Tuesday and even some Wednesday. The Smith corner store (more of a gourmet cafe) was lovely but $$$$$ and shuts at 3pm. Wish we had of known so we would have booked for a weekend.
