    This space was easy to find, easy to check into, and exactly as advertised. Super comfortable, convenient, and value for money. Great to be on the harbour. Breakfast wasn't included, but there is a small coffee shop right below that does...

Company information

We live in St Francis so are at hand if you need anything. We manage the apartments at Port St Francis and a large 16 sleeper huge stunning house on the St Francis Canals - called "Thatch House on the Canals". It is a great place to live and it's a small town out of season and then a little crazy over the Christmas New Year period but still awesome.

Property information

Almost every guest says "Wow, it looks just like the pictures" and "What a stunning view". Most of the apartments are adjoining via the Balcony on the 2nd floor (as seen from the water) that all overlook the Harbour with the sea to the right. The standard rooms all have a Queen bed and a 3/4 sleeper fold-out couch which is suitable for another young adult or small children. The Family suites have 2 x Double beds and a 3/4 sleeper couch too. There are two great restaurants within 50m and a small convenience shop in the Port open during working hours. You can get coffee from a shop downstairs and there is a pub on the ground floor of the Chokka Block in the next building. We have a baby crib you may use on request. All the rooms have a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, induction hob cookers, toaster, kettle, iron and an ironing board. While summer has sublime weather with temps of 18 to 28 on most days degrees, winter can also have excellent days dispersed between not so great days - but it's never truly cold. The coldest we have measured is 9 degrees C. On one day in winter it could be cold as low as 15 degrees and then the next day 22 degrees C which is a pleasant experience in winter. The sea is relatively warm here. In summer the sea temp ranges from 22 to 25 degrees and in winter between 15 and 19 degrees C. The surfers use a 3/2mm wetsuit mostly.

Neighbourhood information
