View With A Room - Private Boutique Beach Suite

JamieRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Our stay at view with a room was stellar! Shirley is an extremely thoughtful host. She has everything you could possibly think to need with some very thoughtful touches such as freshly laid eggs that were left for us. The accommodation was impeccably clean and so well thought out. Modern bathroom, nice lighting. Beautiful views in a peaceful and serene setting. We walked at low tide to see the starfish, what a fun adventure! Shirley has a tide chart printed so you can time it just right. We loved our time at view with a room and highly highly recommend staying here. Thank you again Shirley!

Tropicana Bijou - Studio & Spa

FionaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely apartment near Carters Beach! From the start, Kelly was great with communication—friendly, responsive, and made everything easy. The apartment itself was clean, tidy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved the spa—it was such a relaxing bonus after a day of exploring. The kitchen was perfect for preparing simple meals, and the beds were super comfortable, which made for great nights of sleep. Overall, it's a perfect spot for a small family or a couple. We’d 100% recommend it and would happily stay again!
