Perfect Vacation Experience
Review Submitted: August 6, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
My husband, 3-year-old son, and I stayed at the Sunny Gecko house for our vacation this year and it was absolutely perfect! The house is convenienty located between the airport and George Town, far enough away from each (only a couple of miles) to feel secluded. We saw maybe 3 people on the beach the week we were there, it was very quiet and we enjoyed being right on the water. We took advantage of the house's kayaks and my son was thrilled to paddle with us on the bay in front of the home. We rented a car to get back and forth into town and also a whaler from Minn's Water Sports. We enjoyed island hopping by boat, spent lots of time at the Chat-n-Chill on Stocking Island, snorkeled the underwater cave areas, and took a short walk to the Atlantic side of Stocking Island to explore the rocky coast and look for shells. We also enjoyed dinner at the Peace and Plenty as well as the Fish Fry. My son especially enjoyed the three rays that came around frequently at the Chat-n-Chill looking for food hand outs.
For about the same price as a hotel, you get more space, amenities, and convenience for your dollar. Chris, the owner, was very helpful in answering my many questions prior to my rental of the property and before we left for our trip. Antonio, the property manager on the island, was friendly and just a phone call away. Having a full kitchen, grill, washer and dryer was wonderful since we were traveling with our young child. I highly recommend the Sunny Gecko for the perfect vacation experience for your family.
My son is still saying, "I want to go back to the other house on the tropical island!" We will definitely be going back and I highly recommend this spot for families looking for a beautiful place to get away and relax.
