This is our third time staying at Lucille's beach house and it was great yet again! Having 3 bathrooms is wonderful and the bedrooms are all large with comfortable beds. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery, glasses, pots and cutlery, and every utensil you need to cook. We appreciate that Lucille has supplied condiments, laundry liquid, tissues, glad wrap etc and lots of things that other short term rentals don't provide. We are looking forward to staying again next year :) Thanks Lucille!

Hi Bruce Sorry about your experience. We had changed cleaners just before your stay due to other reasons and they are now getting on top of the cleaning again . We were not aware the full cleans were not being done properly. The outside is a work in progress upgrade and with the dry summer in the area all our grass has died causing the dust and dirt,. We do have lots of guests with children but do let them know they need to be supervised. We hope you had a nice stay otherwise Lucille
