Great place to stay!
Mathijs is a fabulous host, checking to make sure all is going well. The location is fantastic. The house is comfotable and relaxed. And on top of everything, our anxious older dog loved the yard! Very recommended.

Great January stay
Had a great stay at the end of January before the kids went back to school. The house is great, very clean and comfortable. The beds especially were great, sometimes the mattresses in holiday rentals are not great but these were super comfy. We really enjoyed BBQing on the deck and it’s only 10min walk into the town. Host was brilliant, good communication and easy check in. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing fancy but perfect for your dog
Older style beach house accommodation that is pretty basic, but has everything you need. Good setup if you have a dog with secure enclosed yard, and just enough room to throw a ball.Short drive to town and can walk to the beach if keen. More than happy to stay here again.
