We had a great stay in what felt like a home away from home. Fantastic facilities, lots of room, all the amenities you need and a stone’s throw from the water. Highly recommend this as a place to stay.
The description of a family friendly beach house was 100% correct. This place had everything a family would need for a relaxing holiday. The kitchen contained absolutely every gadget or appliance you would need to prepare family meals and the owners left basic pantry items for us to use and asked that we make a note of anything we used up. Very thoughtful. The normal size fridge/freezer was useful.
The heat pump made sure the house was warm and cosy.
Very attractive decor. Plenty of wardrobe space for our use.
The backyard would be big enough for kids to run around playing and contained citrus trees which were laden with fruit so we took a bag of lemons with us.
Overall a true home away from home and hopefully we can stay there again when visiting family.

Thanks for looking after the property. Great to have you stay. Thanks for taking some fruit. It normally ends up on the ground and wasted.
Great location, property was even better than expected, had everything we need. Plenty of room to park the boat. Host was easy to communicate with. Definitely will be back!

Great to have you stay. Thanks for looking after our property. It was left very clean and tidy.
Welcome back anytime.
A cozy warm home, beautiful home had everything you need and a good space to be in. Great second little lounge if you had a bigger crowd staying. And the bed was great and comfortable. There’s an outdoor shower when you come back from the beach. And if your wanting that break away from technology there’s no internet here so it’s a great relaxing time.
