Home was ok...found a discarded utility knife blade on the bedroom floor, kitchen sink was dirty, and the house smells of smoke & musty. Area is very quiet in September, but I'm sure is beautiful in summer. Beds are comfortable and washrooms are in good working order. Water views are awesome.

It is a comfortable spacious house. We stayed with 5 adults. Very nice there are two bathrooms. The garden is also very beautifull.We cooked our own meals; there could have been more pans to accomodate that. The view is very nice; we had some cloudy weather though not a lot of rain. So we could enjoy the view and also visit botanical gardens and Chinese ponds for a walk.
