Overall experience

The house was neat and tidy and in a good location. Could do with an update on certain aspects of the house. The fridge was not very cold. Couches were very old . Upstairs shower had very low pressure and hot water. An update or change of these things would make a big difference. Overall was a good stay.

Review

We stayed for 3 nights the place was clean , you do have to bring your own kitchen equipment as there’s only minimal basics there eg sharp knives , we payed for linen ,pillows are soft so if you like specific pillows bring your own , and there’s electric stove tops .The house had heating and the tv was good I could plug our media box in hdmi ports , showers are hot but shower head is very small , but the house has great lounge and eating area plus outside area which we didn’t use so I can’t comment , plenty of space for 2 adults and a disabled child which was important plus doors can be locked and staircase has dividers so you can stop young toddlers from falling or escaping .garage fits one car plus another in the drive way .Very close to shops , petrol station ,beach so if you don’t want to drive anywhere you can just walk took me 15mins to walk to the beach with children’s playground .Host is really nice and always responds if you need anything within reason .

Great location!

We had a great time staying here! We had two couples with young kids (one with a 2yo, one with a 1yo), as well as another couple and two singles and there were beds for us all. The baby gates ensured that we could keep the kids safe around the stairs- the only downside kid-wise was the house isn’t baby proofed (PowerPoints exposed etc) but this obviously doesn’t apply to every visiting group. The outdoor area was great for morning cook-ups, there was a little yard for our dog to play in and the place was very well appointed. Only thing we needed to bring was linen and also needed to buy extra toilet paper. Very happy with the stay, would stay here again in future 😊

Mena was extremely kind and welcoming when it came to helping us organise our stay. The house was in perfect location, it was close to the shops and only a short walk to the beach. Everyone who stayed at the house felt at home due to the clean and bright environment. Mena was a dream to have as a stayz house owner, this house is a perfect choice for anyone wanting a home a way for home for a bit.
