We really enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and the view was spectacular. The BBQ had to be cleaned before we could use it and we noticed that one of the toilets down stairs was running constantly.
We battled to get in to the property on arrival as we did not have the code. We received an email before we arrived but there was no code. This was a little stressful as we struggled to get hold of someone. We emailed the host but did not get a reply until the next day. We managed to find a phone number for Vrbo and someone helped us on the phone.
Otherwise we had a wonderful time on the beautiful island and would definitely come again.

It was convenient. The house had good view. Could have had a bit of lawn for kids. The house was well catered for 10 . But needs a new floor rug up stairs as was a trip hazard. We loved it and had a great time

Great location . Great views . Six adult's fitted in the house comfortably without being in each others way. Only comment is no actual hand rail on top section of stairs. Would recommend this house to anybody. Thanks for allowing us there and using the facilities.

Thank you for allowing us to use this property. It was a wonderful base to explore the northern side of the island. The views were magnificent and we really appreciated the gesture regarding the wifi issues which were out of your control.
Highly recommend this property.

The Sandcastle was perfect for our needs while on KI for 4 days. Great esplanade location with amazing views. We had a rainbow appear across the water most days! Comfortable living/dining/kitchen area upstairs with balcony. We would definitely stay here again.
