It was beautiful from the moment we walked in. Breathe, relax and enjoy! We celebrated my sister's 70th and it was a great spot to connect with family and friends.
Beautiful cottage, very well kept, great amenities and details to fully enjoy your stay, including the essentials for the beach, a record player and much more.
I've been debating on what to write on this review. Ultimately I must warn other travellers. Here's my experience...We had thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect, the home was comfortable and suitable to our needs. However 2 days after leaving the home, I got a message from the host accusing us having left a large hole in the wall. I explained we couldn't have caused the damage, we left the home undamaged and immaculate. But she insisted we take responsibility. The accusation is ridiculous, we are responsible seniors and retirees, simply not possible to physically cause such damage. The experience has now tainted our stay. Future travellers be warned to take pictures before departure. We will make sure to do the same on our next rental.

We appreciate your kind comments about the home, its comfort, and its location. However, we respectfully disagree with your account of the damage reported after your stay.
The damage to the drywall was photographed the morning after your departure, before anyone else had entered the home. We shared the photograph with you promptly because we wanted to understand what had happened. We were not seeking monetary compensation; we simply wanted clarification regarding the damage discovered after your stay.
Throughout our long history of hosting, we have hosted many wonderful guests and received consistently positive reviews. We have never experienced damage of this nature before, and we take great pride in maintaining our home for the comfort and enjoyment of all guests.
While we understand that being contacted about damage may be unpleasant, our communication was made in good faith, based on the home's condition after your departure. Our intention was not to create an unpleasant experience, but simply to understand the circumstances.
We are glad you enjoyed the home's setting and comfort, and we remain committed to providing a welcoming, well-maintained home for our future guests.
Best wishes,
Jennifer and Rod
Fabulous location in the Tanglewood development. A 4 minute walk to pristine Rathtrevor Beach. Jennifer’s home is perfectly equipped, clean and luxurious. We felt like we had a spa retreat extended weekend. Jennifer was very responsive to all our queries. Loved our stay.
This was ideal accommodation, close to beach, quiet and close to town. Was wonderful for grand parents, parents and children. Would definitely stay again.
The property is just like in the photos. It is in a beautiful spot with a short walk to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped. Would highly recommend it for a relaxing holiday.
What a great property! We had lots of room for our family of 4, the beach was close and there was so much to do. What a beautiful place, we can’t wait to come back.
We had a really nice stay at this property. Super clean, lots of space. Cozy place to relax in after a day on the beach or out exploring many of the beautiful lakes/rivers in the area. We'd have no hesitation booking here again or recommending it to others. Would be lovely in winter too.
This property was BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN, & COMFORTABLE. It was exactly as beautiful as the pictures. A few minute walk to the beach. And felt very private.
I would definitely stay here again.
