Great location, good house, walking distance to the beach, short drive to the shops. Only issue was cleanliness. Had to pick up a garbage bag in the centre of the front steps on arrival, and there was a water bottle and segment of fake lashes under the dining table. We travelled with toddlers who crawled around and got dirty knees from the floors. Host provided a high chair but it had old food still in it. There was cows milk and almond milk in the fridge but the almond milk expired 3 weeks before we got there. There was honey in the cupboard and a stream of ants coming from the floorboards straight to it. Really wish I could give a better review, but at the price point they're asking of over 700 a night I expect significantly better housekeeping.
