We will not stay there again.Pros: check-in easy. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Cons: lack of hot water in the shower and water pressure was extremely low. Almost not enough water to rinse my hair. The unit needs a lot of TLC, especially the kitchen.

Sailor’s gem

My husband and I got off the ferry and the location of the stay was a short cab ride away. Very convenient, close to the marina where we have our charter. Spacious, clean, aircon, and comfortable bed. Good value. Thank you for welcoming us to your home.

Pre-charter

Chose the location due to proximity to Nanny Cay for charter. Space was as advertised and very clean. Just the A/C in the bedroom but was fine for me. Host was available to answer questions about locking up the door when out. Great kitchen and utensils available. Thank you!

Super cute apartment and awesome host!!!

The apartment was nice and clean, the air conditioning works great, furniture is comfortable, beds are comfortable, and the host is amazing! The roosters on the other hand woke me up everyday at 6:30. I am not an early riser, so this was a bit of a challenge for me. I did enjoy staying here and if you're pretty good sleeper, you'll be just fine. Say hi to Nelly and Ella for me!

Pre Catamaran Stay at Nanny Cay

Great place and ideally situated if you are arriving in advance of your Sailing at Nanny Cay. We arrived 3 days in advance of our sailing trip and had the opportunity to provision the boat and prepare for our trip. Its only a few minute walk to where we load onto the boat. The only minor downside is that the roosters are a bit noisy in the early mornings but otherwise a basic and simple lodging to prepare for the main event. We will be staying here again on our next trip to do our provisioning! Thanks again!
