Beautiful peaceful and restful overlooking the canals of Paynesville. Very spacious apartments with everything you could need. Only a short walk to the ferry and town. Very warm and cosy in May.

Had as problem with gaining access to the property as the reception was not open in spite of check-in supposedly by open from 2-10pm. A message had been sent to my phone but I was unable to access it. Eventually, we found out that the reception at Mariner's Cove was dealing with Captain's Cove: not ideal and very frustrating. A simple note on the reception door sayi8ng go to Mariners Cove would have made the experience much more eniybale.

Beautiful 3 bedroom place on the cove. The back deck looks right onto the cove and the view is beautiful and so peaceful. The place was quite large and very nice and clean. We loved that there was a washer and dryer and all the ammenities we could possibly need. We would have loved to stay longer.

Waterside stunner!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The unit was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We were able to choose between relaxing on the upper or lower deck overlooking the water - blissful. Would highly recommend a stay here. Ideal for a family or friends. Eateries just a few minutes walk away.
