A relaxing retreat.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay in this delightful, newly renovated home with pretty white plantation shutters. Everything was just perfect! The house has everything one needs, home away from home. The kitchen is really well equiped with everything one needs. We enjoyed our Nespressos sitting on the verandah in the mornings. And the roomy rain shower was a real treat. I appreciate the host’s attention to detail in things like providing basic items like bandaids, antiseptic, tissues, an initial supply of Nespresso pods etc. And I loved the little herb garden with rosemary, parsley and mint. Thank you for a most wonderful stay Jo!

Better than the Photos!

The place is feels/looks new and very well presented with nice touches throughout. Comfortably suitable for 4-5 people or a couple. Jo was great to deal with, & communication was hassle free. Look forward to our next visit, and will be recommending to my network of friends & family during their travels to Port Mac.
