A Central Hallway leads to Bedroom 1 (with TV, DVD player & BIR), Bedroom 2 (with BIR) and Bedroom 3, the Bathroom (with shower & toilet), and the fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer) which has a 2nd separate Toilet and additional access to the rear deck.

Outdoor Areas

The fantastic large covered rear deck (with gas BBQ, table & chairs for 8, 2 additional relax chairs and a hammock) is perfect for relaxing/entertaining, and overlooks the fully enclosed yard which is perfect for children and dogs alike (no cats please). The deck also features a convenient shower base with hot/cold water to wash off after the beach (for people & pets), and there is a large dog enclosure in the rear yard too (with bed & bowl provided). There is no access to the shed, but plenty of space for 2 cars on the front driveway and additional space for 1-2 more vehicles (cars and/or a boat) in the rear yard.

The property was very good and served our purpose of having a few days away in a quiet space but still close to all amenities and beach. Dog yard amazing, very spacious and secure. House had plenty of space and was found immaculately clean. Coms to host excellent.

Property had a fully enclosed yard for our dog. We were a bit disappointed as Google chrome cast & DVD player didn't have remotes so couldn't use them, tv in main bedroom turns on but no reception at all, couldn't use that, rooms in house need to be decobwebed, back patio deck needs to have nails hammered in, suggest to wear shoes, on our departure we wanted to vacuum but there is no vacuum cleaner at the property. Kitchen appliances were fully functional.We are annoyed that the gardener turned up on Tuesday 24th March and mowed front & back lawn, why this wasn't done before we arrived or could have been done after we left as it wasn't long and not much of it, invaded our privacy.For what we paid there were a lot of things we couldn't use and also a gardener turning up it wasn't value for money.
