“This is a smart pick for families wanting equal doses of sea views and local exploration. Apartments are self-contained, smoke-free, and the owners go the extra mile, with boogie boards and luggage assistance, and I admire that level of care. Overall, a relaxing base from which to discover Doubtless Bay.”
