Jay couldn’t have been more helpful. Super flexible and always with a smile on his face.
Brother and sister, we spent most of our childhood weekends on Ullswater in the Lake District. This is where our passion for sailing and outdoor activities began.
More recently the many interesting islands and beautiful Croatian coastline drew us here to Korcula. Fantastic weather and perfect conditions for so many activities made this opportunity a dream come true.
Whether you want a week away relaxing in the sun or an action-packed activity holiday, our accommodation in four apartments at The White House Lumbarda provides you with the ideal location, and all with fantastic views.
We’ll tailor every holiday to your specific requirements and look forward to welcoming you to paradise.
