Everything was magic! The house was better than we expected and the location and facilities were exceptional. Only negative was the cleaner turned up 30mins prior to check out time and it would have been great to have fitted sheets and bath towels. Everything else was 5 star and we left feeling relaxed and reset ready to start another week. The whole family loved our short stay.

Hi Vicky Thanks for the review and I am glad you enjoyed your stay at our home. In regards to sheets and towels it does state that you need to supply this in our listing. In regards to the cleaner she lives out of town and travels to clean our home which she leaves always perfect. I note that she actually didn't start till 10.00 am as this is check out time. Thank you again for looking after our magical spot.

Beach vibes all around. Love the proximity to the beach and glad we had 1 hot day so the kids got to experience having a dip in the water and playing in the sand. The cottage itself is beautifully renovated and lovingly well-maintained. We appreciate the opportunity to stay in the property.
I remembered my Mom - she had the same sewing machine.
Fire pit at the back is perfect for roasting marshmallows while listening to the waves.
We also enjoyed the grill!
