Testimonials
Turkish Delight
I had the pleasure of looking after the delightful Smokie and Otis in 2016. Teresa and David were perfect hosts and, as experienced house sitters themselves, were helpful and explained everything clearly. They showed me around the area and we ate fresh trout in a mountain village! Their home, on a beautifully designed, secure development on the coast, is an ideal combination of traditional feel and modern comfort. It is a short stroll down through the gardens to the sea for a swim. Kalkan, even out of season, had a good choice of food shops and restaurants within walking distance and I visited beaches and archaeological sites by bus. Smokie loved to sit on me or play. Otis slept quietly on my bed at night and by day patrolled his territory to watch out for other cats! I recommend this opportunity!

Teresa and David: the reason why you'll love this community
Teresa & David are one of those great couples you don't see often. They're kind, relaxed and fun, with lots of histories to tell. They're so kind hearted that they even picked us up from the airport and took us right back without any hesitation. With T&D you'll feel immediately comfortable. We had the luck of have them as homeowners but we're sure (we are!) that they are amazing housesitters as well. They trully understand the HS community. Their place is beautiful, you won't get tired of those sunsets, and the two cats they have (Smokie & Otis) are easy going, gorgeous and loving. Two hundred percent recommended, don't even think about it, just send them a message!
