Fantastic stay on Best Island

We had an enjoyable family weekend and the house was clean and provided everything we needed. It was within close driving proximity to shops and attractions, and provided us with a relaxing place to holiday. Our toddler also enjoyed visits from the friendly neighbourhood dogs. The showers were a bit hit or miss, but that was minor and didn't impact our stay. We'd love to come back in Summer and take full advantage of the house and location.
