Delightful property close to the Centre of Port Stanley. There is a short cut down to little beach, where the kids loved jumping in the waves. Property has recently been converted into a rental so there were a few little snagging issues, but Matt was quick to resolve. Decent laundry facilities, big bbq/grill..

Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you and the kids enjoyed Little Beach — it’s such a great spot. Appreciate your patience as we fine-tune things with the rental, and I’m happy we could get everything sorted quickly. Awesome to hear you made use of the laundry and BBQ too. Would love to host you again anytime!
