See What Some Of Our Renters Have To Say

We really enjoyed viewing properties with Kym and getting a feel for the island. The property that we decided on fits our needs perfectly and we are so happy - thank you for helping us find our island home !

You and your team made the rental process so easy - from your prompt and clear communication, the selection of properties that we viewed to the signing of the lease, information on payment options, what the inventory of the apartment was and the helping to set up utilities, it could not have been easier and allowed me to concentrate on my studies.  I am loving settling into island life !
E. O
Kym found us the perfect apartment !   We had our ideas for what we were looking for but in the end, from the options that Kym showed us, we found something completely different but it’s perfect for us and our dog.  We are just a few minutes walk to the golf course and love the view from our veranda looking out to the ocean and just could not be happier - Thank you Kym for listening to our wants and all your help

The time that Kym spent showing us properties, supermarkets and the other points of note was so enjoyable we wish that Sarah was going to be in St Kitts for the next 2 years ! Kym listened to our needs and wants and was professional and approachable and put together a great selection of rental options to view.  The information she shared with us about living in St Kitts was amazing and really helpful.  Whilst my daughter ultimately decided not to go to school in St Kitts, the time we spent would have been exactly what we needed to make accommodation decisions and allow us to not worry when back home in the US that Sarah was in good hands.
