We are thankful for your time and your willingness to write a review to let us know how we are doing. We hope to see you again soon!
Cute and clean with a modern kitchen and a giant bathtub. We had a lovely, relaxing stay. Thank you. The front door was a bit tricky to open and lock so make sure you jiggle the key. Also, it would be good to have the wifi password available for use, or easily accessible. The property is only a short drive into town and to the beach.
the house / unit is very clean and the fixtures are modern and comfortable. convenient location to the marina and surrounds. the entry is very steep thou, and the bed needs replacement- it feels sunken already. but overall we are happy with the house set up and all the appliances are working at good condition. they also provided access to netflix which is a plus- but we cannot use the internet as there are no instruction on password access.
The house is very nice and clean it’s very good property I enjoyed staying in this house
Love it the house it’s very clean and not very house and the neighbourhors was very nice and helpful
