I hosted youth for 6 years and enjoyed every minute. I have a large home that is close to town with a bus route in a 2 minute walk.
I live with my 26 year old son and his Japanese partner.Summer is great here as we have a pool and a lovely private garden.
We are active in water sports, love to hike and bike and would enjoy showing off our lovely Island Paradise.
We all love to cook and enjoy an international cuisine on a daily basis.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
