Very Cozy and very central location
Maxine was there to welcome me, after a very long flight the day before. The apartment had wonderful views of the Lough, and the apartment had every amenity available. Would Highly recommend this vacation property

Comfort
An excellent, comfortable apartment, and an ideal place after days spent labouring in County Antrim schools.

First Time Stay - We Hope to be Back
We booked the apartment as a base to attend a wedding at Ballygally. We knew nothing about Carrickfergus or surrounding area. Maxine met us at the apartment and showed us around. She followed up with us by text the next day to make sure we had settled in. To be honest, if we hadn't arranged to meet people, we would have been happy staying in Carrickfergus for the week. The flat is so relaxing and has everything you need. There are at least 4 supermarkets nearby as well as other individual shops and restaurants. There is even an ice cream shop next door to the apartment. We have never seen people queuing for ice cream before! This is a great location for either a peaceful break or as a base to travel around. We went to Newcastle to see the famous Mournes mountains and were not disappointed. There is also a great train service into Belfast, so you can leave the car in the free car park outside the house. I can't think of anything negative. We thoroughly enjoyed being at Ahoy and would highly recommend it. The visitor's book reflects that people from America, Canada, Australia and France had the same enjoyable experience that we had.

Breathtaking Views, Feels like Home
This Victorian house retains many original features plus updated amenities. The large windows look our on the Belfast Loch, so beautiful! There is a cozy sitting room, well appointed kitchen and dining room,modern bathroom and comfortable bedroom. Shops, restaurants, park, and train are all within walking distance. So convenient to everything, especially Maud's, the ice cream shop right next door! Maxine, our hostess, was so helpful. We highly recommend this location and will book if we come back again.

Mr
Fantastic apartment to stay, I’ve stayed a few times now in Maxine’s apartments which are to the highest standards, I was home from Australia for Christmas, it was better for me to stay in Ahoy 2 than with family, Ahoy 2 was brilliant, very clean, kitchen has everything in it, bathroom and bedroom the best, all the comforts off home thanks to Maxine, the views are million dollar, I can talk highly enough about my stay in Ahoy 2, but Maxine is Northern Ireland’s best kept secret lol

Perfect location, perfect accomodation...
This is the third different accommodation that we have stayed belonging to Maxine. All of the accommodations have been perfect. Maxine has always been very helpful and quick to respond to any communications. The apartments are very clean and have everything that you need for the perfect stay. The locations couldn't be better, they are very conveniently located to transport networks, shops and local tourist attractions. We are already looking forward to our next stay. Thank you Maxine, for all your help and we will see you soon. Julie & Bryan

Perfect, just perfect
We (the two of us) returned to the Ahoy department for the 3rd time (4th time at the Ahoy apartments). The flat is just as shown in the photographs with a lovely view of the Lough out the window. Maxine is an excellent host who adds those extra special touches, bath robes and biscuits for example, that make this place so welcoming. Close to all Carrick's amenities (including the lovely Mauds Ice Cream just a few steps away) and handy for getting into Belfast. I prefer this place to a hotel when we visit Carrick. It's a wonderful relaxing space. Thanks Maxine

Lovely accommodation
We stayed at all three of the Ahoy apartments while having work carried out at our Bungalow after a flood. Maxine went over and above to accommodate us and nothing was to much trouble for her. We loved the space and amazing sea views in this apartment. All Maxines apartments are spotlessly clean and everything you could possibly need is provided. We would highly recommend staying here - it is a home from home.

Excellent facilities
We stayed her over the Christmas period and it was decorated festively. It is clean and tidy with a great use of space and is everything the description in TripAdvisor says. The owner could not have been more helpful when we arrived and yet she was totally inobtrusive during our stay. Thanks Maxine. We loved our stay because you gave us such wonderful accomodation.
