We had a great weekend at Paul & Alistair's place. Exceeded all our needs and expectations. Peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Great location to all the restaurants, the beach, the cart rentals. This place was definitely worth the booking & the stay. Will stay with them again in the future. Always responded quickly to all my questions & needs. Thank you Paul & Alistair Sincerely, Sherri
