Wonderful cottage - perfect base on the island for my son and me. Well equipped and very clean. I had to chase up arrival instructions (there was no reply to my message on the Vrbo app), but think they had been sent and I just hadn’t received them. I appreciated the personal welcome email and my query about heating was answered promptly (maybe instructions on how to adjust the aircon/heating could be added to the cottage information?) Also would be good to point out the nearby path down to Onetangi Beach (we only came across this by accident). Thanks for a great stay! :)
An absolutely stunning place a ten minute walk from the beach and amenities. The cottage itself is secluded, and surrounded by the most lush trees and plant life, making it feel like your own private idyll. The facilities are superb, with laundry, cleaning facilities and everything you could possibly need for preparing meals (including a very generously sized gas barbecue!). There's also a outside wash down spot for those sandy feet after a day on the beach.The beds are comfortable, and the whole place is very well appointed and finished to a very high standard. On arrival, the cottage was cleaned to a very high standard and we had everything we needed right off the bat thanks to the pre-arrival information pack.A top tip for anyone hoping to use the Oven (and this isn't a criticism, just information for future holiday makers), you'll need to set the time on the oven before it does anything.Overall I'd have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to a couple or small family looking for a long weekend away. It represents fantastic value for money and it's well worth it.
