Deck over the water

This property is a real find. It is quirky, comfortable and so close to the water, the deck is actually over the water. If you like fishing or paddle boarding you are going to love it. Our little dog also loved it.

A Wonderful Three Days

Even though it rained we had the best time. The house was perfect for us-grandparents, parents and grandchildren. It has the feeling of being on a house boat with all the benefits of being on land. Of course having your Thai meal from the restaurant next door being handed over onto your deck was most convenient as well as being delicious.

Amazing location

A great place to have a short break. Right on the water, we swam off the deck and even caught a couple of little fish..the big ones are still out there.Everything you need is there. Even a great Thai restaurant right next door. We ordered takeaway and they delivered it over the fence. Perfect.

Fantastic family break

There is nowhere better to stay on the coast. The location is second to none. This was our second stay and we loved it even more (as we stayed twice as long this trip). The house was perfect for our family with two (young adults) kids - everyone had their own room and having two bathrooms always makes it easier to get along.We spent our days in the sunshine on the deck and our evenings sitting playing boardgames outside. When the sun was a little too hot in the afternoon, we retreated inside to watch DVDs.A new addition since our previous visit was the QR code for the next door restaurant on the outdoor table. We used this twice and it was highly convenient.We loved every minute and will be back for sure.

Making a stay here an annual get together.

Three couples in our late 60s who had a our first stay in 2023, just had three nights in 2024 and just booked for 2025. Love the quirky house, the over- water deck and its location. NB, as mentioned in the listing, if you have mobility issues not the place to stay as lots of stairs throughout the property.
