Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
We were very pleased with this property! The beds were very comfortable, plenty of space in the bedrooms and the inside was furnished with everything our family needed. The beach was just a quick hop across the road which was never that busy and we went in peak July season. The layout was a bit awkward though as it is split into an upstairs and downstairs with no stairs except on the outside. Some of the finishes were outdated and worn but nothing you wouldn’t expect from a beach house. Overall we would definitely stay here again!
