Lovely house for both sunny and rainy weather. Unfortunstely we were indoors a lot of our stay however there was plenty of room and board games to keep everyone entertained
This is a fantastic house, just what we wanted and just a minute to the beach. Large kitchen, dining area and outside deck with BBQ. And we did a couple of holes of golf. Kids toys were an added bonus and got well used. Comfy beds and clean environment. Thank you for having us.
Lovely warm home. Well appointed with everything you need. Could do with a deep clean behind furniture, and exterior deck ceiling and wall area. Attention to details makes a huge difference.
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house, conveniently located near the marina. The space was comfortable and made for a great getaway. The only issue was a noticeable number of ants in one of the bedrooms, which could use some attention. Other than that, everything was fantastic—and we’d happily stay here again!

That's great to hear you had a wonderful stay - thanks for your review. We appreciate you bringing the issue with the ants to our attention. We have since addressed the issue, and apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused during your visit. We hope to host you again in the future.
A beautiful property in a quiet neighbourhood with easy access to water views. Everything we needed (and more) was available. If it is warm weather, a little effort is required to cool the bedrooms.
