The only problem we had at all as the internet password that was emailed to me was incorrect. We found it on the router so all good.

Poor communication but decent property
The first impression is not positive as there were building materials throughout the yard. The door into the kitchen was incredibly difficult to lock after we opened it. There wasn’t any WIFI and the property manager finally sent someone out to rectify things after I called twice and we only had WIFI for 40 minutes before it went out again. They came out again the next day after I repeatedly called and never listened to the voicemails I left. I liked the property it was large enough for 8 of us and the location is great, but the property manager has ignored all emails I’ve sent asking for a compensation due to the WIFI issues and us having to buy cellular data. Disappointing for sure!

Amazing
This place was fantastic. We stayed here with our entire family for a few days before and after our wedding on Skye and loved it. The size was fanatic for all of the vendors to come do their thing (hair, makeup, photographers etc) while us being able to still work around. Such a short walk into town and an incredible view of the loch. We would come back

Wonderful house
We loved this rental house. The location is perfect - easy walk to town and a stunning view. Finding it the first time was a bit tricky but after that no issues. Great easy to use kitchen and wonderful dining and living areas. Bedrooms were very comfortable and great consistently hot showers. Plus having a laundry machine and dryer was such a bonus. Would love to come back some day.

First Impressions
Arriving at this property, it looked like a construction zone. We hardly had room to turn in to be off the street. When I called, the property manager met us and informed us that the deck was being redone which should have been finished when we arrived, but obviously wasn't. She assured us that we would not be bothered and honestly, we were not bothered in the least after we settled in. We still should have been advised of the project prior to arriving. We found the property very clean and comfortable. We only used 2 bedrooms which we found very spacious and welcoming. We all slept very well and the en suite bathrooms were very convenient with good water pressure in the showers. The kitchen area was a bit intimidating with its jazzy modern appliances, but we figured them out without too much bother. I would suggest that kitchen utensils be better stocked with spatulas, etc. as we had to improvise. The traffic lanes around the property were very narrow and took a bit getting used to. We could walk to the harbor area easily, but there was a steep hill back to the house which was too much for a couple of us. The views from the house were beautiful - one of the advantages of being on a hill - and once we settled in, we were totally comfortable. I would stay here again (with a completed deck) and wold recommend to others.

Great Stay in Skye
Great house. Exactly meet the description. But note, house is located on cliff above beach, not right on beach as it seems in the pictures. The bathtub in main bedroom seems nice, but not really practical. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Lovely stay on Skye Bat
Loved this house with plenty of room for all 6 of us. The view was beautiful, location perfect and the little added touches to decorate the house were perfect for feeling at home. They even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy! Would definitely come back to Skye Bay!

Skye House
Online and phone communications with property management were excellent and responsive. The location was very good, short walk to town, and the view was very nice. The house was very clean and the beds comfortable. However, for 7 adults the place was very cramped. It is advertised as 5382 sq.ft. on the website. This home could not be more than 2500 sq.ft. Not sure what they were measuring, maybe the lot. There is not a coffee table or end tables in the living room, so if we were having wine/hors d'ouevres before dinner there was no place to put anything. We ended up pulling one of the benches from the dining table to the living room to set down wine glasses and plates of food if we were gathering there. Then we'd have to put the bench back. The benches and wire chairs in the dining room were uncomfortable for sitting any period of time. The kitchen is big, but has a very small table & 2 high chairs, so people had to eat in dining room if we all wanted to be together. There is no Coffee Maker! You can only make instant coffee, which no one in America drinks. We had to walk to the village every morning if you wanted real coffee. The railing on the steps leading to the kitchen door need to be attended to. They are loose and wobbly.

Clean, quiet and comfortable in a great location
This property is an attached house in a great location, with parking. It was clean and comfortable. The beds are a double, two queens and twins. Bathrooms are small but very clean. The exterior is a little scruffy but for what we needed it was perfect.

Great house in Skye
The house was great! It was located centrally in Portree within easy walking distance to almost all the restaurants and grocery stores. The house itself was just as it was listed, cute, clean, and with an amazing view of the bay. The manager leaves you an iPad with a ton of helpful videos on it for you to reference and check in was super easy. If I ever get lucky enough to make it back to Skye I will stay here again!
