Perfect get away with sea views and creature comforts

Beautifully presented, spacious home with a sea view. Equipped with everything for a home away from home. Centrally located to take in the sights and experience all that KI has to offer. Usually a camping family, we found this home a real treat for some much needed rest and relaxation. Thoughtful basket left out for us containing local produce from the Island. Highly recommend.
