The host was easy to communicate with and helpful. The accommodation was an amazing location, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed being able to take our dog - what a treat! We'd love to go back and stay again.

Spacious, family friendly house in a prime beachfront location. Plenty of firewood to keep us warm although the weather was cold.
