A radio is provided for you as well. No CD or VCR. There is a garden area and patio set aside for your enjoyment with a gas barbecue and garden furniture: sit back and watch the waves crash on the reefs half a mile out or watch the whales swim by, folks fishing from the shoreline and the long tail gulls swoop and dive….

The local market at Harrington Hundreds stocks a great array of gourmet goods as well as beer, wine and spirits, and they will deliver as well!
Smiths Parish is a very desirable location because of the abundance of scenic side-trips one can take nearby. There are several parks to explore: Spittal Pond, the Nature Reserve at the Mangrove Lake, Walsingham Nature Reserve and Devils Hole (where you can "catch" fish, eels and turtles of baited lines without hooks). The 1926 Aquarium in Flatts Village with its collection of pretty shops and cafes is fun for children and a fascinating small scale museum  and zoo for adults.  Verdmont Museum (with a splendid collection of antique furniture, paintings and children's toys dating to the 1700's) and the Crystal Caves with their limestone stalagmites. There is glass blowing  studio the perfume factory nearby - and all the rest of the island to discover by bus or moped. Hamilton and St. George's are approximately 15 minutes by bus away. Please note: the steep path down to the shore at this location probably will be too exacting for elderly or infirm guests, but an easier walk down the paved road will take you to the splendid access to sand and gentle waves at John Smiths Bay.
