Fabulous holiday home
Wonderful holiday home, beautifully presented and everything needed has been thoughtfully provided. Super comfy with spaces to relax and enjoy this special location and views of the ocean. Loved our stay here, even had an ocean swim. Only thing is if you have someone wanting to watch smart TV, Intenet can be unstable, bring your own hotspot data and all good. Will be back for a longer R&R stay.

Wonderful house
This house is amazing. The owner makes very good presentations. The interior is inspired by ‘salty’ & ‘beach house’ concept. We like it. Strongly recommend anyone who loves sea. The owner lives nearby and is so kind.

Happy and comfy
Very clean and Richard is great with communication.
We asked for a bread Knife and he delivered quickly thank you
A brilliant location with the sound of the sea and an easy stroll to the beach
We enjoyed early walks and runs in a great location
The tv are is not really set up for all of us to view ( after big days exploring we wanted to catch up with news and a movie)
We appreciated the ability to stream any of our platforms on the smart TV Thankyou
We all would have loved larger towels
We loved the provided soap shampoo and conditioner too
The beds are firm and the pillow menu is excellent we all slept well!!!
Very clean upon arrival and there are signs everywhere helping you find items or understand the house and how to enjoy it
We would return

Outstanding pet friendly accommodation
If you're looking for accommodation to take your family and pet, this is the place!
Richard is a wonderful host who is very easy to communicate with.You will appreciate the care and effort that has been put into making this place pet friendly. One of the many things was the welcoming pet basket upon arrival with doggie treats. The backyard is completely fenced off, making it easy to have your pets in a secured location. Across the road, there is a dog friendly beach, which was amazing.
The house itself is light-filled, clean and comfortable. It is well-heated with a reverse-cycle air-conditioner (heat pump) and double-glazed windows . It has two bathrooms and the kitchen is set up with everything you could need for self catering.
I highly recommend this place and look forward to staying again. Thank you, Richard for the great holiday. We really enjoyed it and will be back.

Beautiful and relaxing
What a beautiful place! The location is great, we were able to visit quite a few tourist spots in the area, then come back and relax for the evening. Loved the sound of the water at night as well.
