    Property was extremely clean and crisp! Wonderful views with dolphin shows throughout the day and the evening. Great proximity to the main street where many restaurants and shops are. Excellent communication with owner whenever questions came up. Many stairs to climb up/down to/from bathrooms/bedrooms and living room/kitchen provided a good workout! Make sure you’re able to climb stairs!

    This townhouse was fabulous. The best part is that it is a corner property with wraparound views of the water as far as you can see. There are no obstructing views whatsoever. The vaulted living room ceiling is exquisite. The furnishings were comfortable, clean, and perfect for the size of the property. Adam communicated regularly and provided lots of tips for restaurants in the area. The check-in process could not have been any smoother or easier. I would come back here again and again. Thank you so much for a wonderful, relaxing vacation.

    I am so happy to have found this property again. It is by far the best spot in CK! Peaceful and out of town so you can go enjoy the food, music, and shopping and then escape to paradise!
