Nice house with good basics. Locked backyard to store outdoor gear and a little laneway leading to the beach was nice. Nice and roomy for a family of 8!

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Quiet location
Rated 3 stars for cleaning concerns - floors felt slimy, dead flys in window sills and stains to floor mat in downstairs bathroom.
Also Would have been nice to know before hand someone would be unlocking the gate and entering the yard to take the bins out.
Overall property was well equipped and great location to the beach but is in need of some maintenance/tlc
Great location, close to beach, quiet, peaceful, clean, spacious and would definitely stay again. Only negatives are no ceiling or pedestal fans and water pressure in downstairs shower was terrible but for a short term stay it wasn't a huge issue
Very clean and tidy house. Quiet area, great for family holiday, relax and enjoy, quite close to the beach. Definitely will book for next time visit.
