We had a very relaxing time in this quiet secluded property.It is thoughtfully designed, modernistic and good facilities. Our dogs settled in immediately. We would highly recommend this property.

We're so glad you had a relaxing stay and that your dogs felt right at home. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back in the future!
SERENE PROPERTY CLOSE TO THE BEACH. AMAZING PET FRIENDLY ACCOMODATION. NICE PEACE AND QUIET LOCATION. NEAT AND COMPACT. JUST THE HOME WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
Was a comfortable home, had all we needed. Recommend taking eye masks if you want to sleep in as the sun comes through from 5:30am - no blackout blinds. All appliances worked but were dated. Hosts were very helpful on Xmas eve night when we couldn’t get the hot water working.
Loved the house and the location.FYI we couldn’t get the gas cooktop working

Thank you for your feedback—we’re so glad you loved the house and location! We informed our Operations team about the gas cooktop issue, and they have already checked it to ensure it’s working properly. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Interesting home in Private location amongst the dunes
A very relaxing environment in a very pleasant setting. Although the design of the house is very attractive the general maintenance requires attention e.g downlight not working in the main bedroom, the hot plates were in not up to par (the self ignition did not work) and the oven was not user friendly. The standard of cleaning needs improvement in the kitchen - handles and cupboard doors were sticky and there was no evidence that the freezer had been cleaned in recent times.
The property was big enough for our family beach getaway. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We took our dogs who loved the access to the beach at the back of the property. We will stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - house has everything you need
Quality furnishings, very comfortable- great kitchen and living space
No air con in bedrooms is not good
