The absolute BEST
We could not have been happier with our accommodation. It surpassed all our expectations. It was spacious, private, comfortable, super clean and in such a great location. We have never in our travels felt so fortunate to find our perfect accommodation. Thanks to Mike and EddieC who were fantastic and so helpful.

Property is located good. You have to ask for fresh linen if you stay long! Or get new towels. Fan wasn’t working properly. For the rest really good.

A perfect stay
I had the pleasure of staying in the charming Lyas bungalow. It was perfect in every way. Every detail from the cozy furnishings to the thoughtful decor, give a sense of comfort and relaxation. The personal touches in the space made me feel welcome and put a smile on my face. In terms of practicality the bungalow had everything I needed. Definitely a bungalow that I will return to and that I highly recommend. Thank you!

Great Location
Well appointed and comfortable bungalow. A very short walk to Charlie's with great atmosphere and live music. Very close to beach and snorkelling. The only downside is we couldnt sit outside because of the ever-present mosquitoes.

Our October 2019 Vacation
From the moment we stepped thru the door we fell in love with this beautiful little bungalow, our home away from home. It was exactly like the photos and was so clean it was just lovely. The location was fab, we especially loved Charlie's across the road who do a mean as fish sandwich. The beach also across the road was stunning with 1 of the best snorkeling spots on the island about 200 meters up the road. I would highly recommend this place to anybody without any hesitation.

A real gem!
This cute bungalow exceeded all our expectations. It was a great quiet location but close to a fabulous part of the reef & very close to Charlie’s for supper in the evening. The accomodation was spotless & we appreciated the extra touches of fruit, milk water & juice. We could fault nothing! Thank you Eddie!
