“Disappointing”
Pictures were not corresponding to the reality. They are enhance by AI in the family room. Dirty and old. The entire property is not exclusive as staff vcome to the back tard to work and wash. We booked for 3 days and left after the first night.

We had a wonderful stay in the Farmhouse at The Yard, it really is a home away from home. Very cozy and comfy. There is everything you need and more. Marinda is a lovely hostess, she made sure that we were comfortable and all settled . We brought along on 2 dogs and they also enjoyed their stay. Would definitely recommend if you looking for a homely pet friendly accommodation

“This is my number one preference”
Great location, it's safe to walk, shops, restaurants and the ocean are close and if you have special needs (like furry children) the hosts bend over backwards to accommodate you

The place was awesome it met all our expectations and had everything we needed (home away from home). Good value for money. Locality was perfect near the shops and beach. Personally, I would recommend this place as we will definitely be going back again. The host, Marinda, is a pleasant and helpful lady.
