Stunning House in a Stunning Location

Wonderful property in walking distance of the beach, beautiful sea views and close enough to hear waves crashing on the shore. We were 8 adults and plenty of space for us all. Property was well equipped and perfectly maintained. Highly recommended.

Fantastic holiday home with all you need!

What a gorgeous house, so well appointed, lovely view. Has everything you need for a wonderful beach stay. Beds are comfy, property’s kept so clean and tidy. Only down point was the poor WIFI - but that’s probably the area, Loved all the different seating areas outside - can follow the sun around the decks. Handy to shops, beach and Flatwhite - a lovely cafe/restaurant right across the road. There are 2 super king beds and 2 queens, 2 kitchens and 2 lounge/dining so somewhere for everyone to be either together or seperate for the teenagers. Highly recommend!
