Dutchies Retreat was just perfect for our crew. Having the flexibility of twin or king beds in each room was ideal. The house is so beautiful and well appointed and there were separate areas to hang out in, which worked well for people trying to keep up with work also. It was lovely and clean and having the beach on the doorstep was a bonus. Would definitely stay again!

Everyone in our family (grandparents, parents and kids) loved the house. The adults particularly enjoyed the top floor living room with the beautiful view.We all appreciated the very comfortable beds.The steep driveway was a bit of a challenge, but we managed it okay.We would have appreciated the host stocking the house with a few expected essentials such as paper towels, tea bags, coffee pods and body wash.
