Our stay at the Little Blue Penguin suite was fantastic! My mom and I found both beds to be very comfortable and the unit to be tranquil. The location was effortless to find, and the directions for check-in were straightforward to follow.
This unit is best suited for adults or couples. You can access it from "town" using the rentable scooters, but the parking spot made it easy to have/use our rental car. I had to use Google to figure out the stove, but that was likely because I'm Canadian and unfamiliar with that type of stove.
Being able to do laundry was vital as I had already been on the road for three weeks before we arrived. There is a secluded spot to hang your clothing to dry, doubling as an outdoor dining area.
We had a few questions for the owners, and the response time was rapid and helpful. I would stay here again and would recommend it to anyone else. This was the perfect spot for my mother (73) and myself (49).

Compact space, but has everything you need. We always cross our fingers for good shower pressure and good pillows - this place had both.

Place was nice and clean, very conveniently located close to most things. Only issue is it's very noisy as owners stay right above and you can here them most of the time walking about.

The property was very clean and lovely and was in a good location but I felt the photo's in the advert were misleading in that I did not expect that it was under the owners house and the outside area did not live up to expectations

My husband and I stayed for a week. We were both pleased with the experience. Hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Home was cozy and tidy. Especially during the cold snap that came through when we arrived. Home had been warmed before arrival. Very appreciative. Location was perfect. Close to everything especially the beautiful beach. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend
