The host was wonderful. There was no beach view from the house, but the beach was walking distance (5min walk). It was small and crowded even for a 2 red flag day, but beautiful and it had nice changing and bathrooms. The 5br house we stayed in had three levels with living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry and master bedroom on the base level, then two bedrooms and a bathroom on level 2 and 3. All bedrooms had access to a balcony.
