a lovely stay

The house was spacious and immaculate. It was the best equipped place we have rented, in terms of appliances and utensils and beach towels and basic foodstuffs, and TVs, and BBQ, etc. The 2 beds were very comfortable (pullout couch excluded). The location was excellent and quiet and relatively short walks got us everywhere. We were 3 adults and 2 kids, and we all had a great week and many thanks to the owners!

Beautiful home, very clean and well kept! We had great communication with Paul during our stay and made the process super easy. We’ve never booked with VRBO before so it was all new to us. Good distance to the beach and close to many restaurants and even a few spots delivered via SkipTheDishes. Perfect relaxing getaway with friends. Would love to come back again.
