We had a lovely stay with our pooch. Great secure yard and undercover outdoor area that was great for having friends stop in for lunch. Didnt have the best weather for the beach but the surroundings were relaxing and quiet and we could watch the new years fireworks from the beachfront. I didnt see the property before the renovations but everything was comfortable and well presented. :)
