Thank you for the opportunity to stay in such a great home. We had a wonderful holiday. The house is well equipped and has everything you could possibly want. The two separate lounges and smart TVs were the perfect addition for us. We also really enjoyed the outdoor area. We had our dogs with us and appreciated being able to relax knowing the yard was safe for them. We hope to be back in the future!

Affordable, Clean Property
For a family of 7 adults and 2 children it was a nice roomy property, undercover outdoor living area very good including good size grassed area for small dog - backyard enclosed. Decor okay, comfortable amenities. Would recommend for family of our size, beach closeby - location good.
House has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Spacious outdoor sitting area & lawn for the dogs. House was very clean with fish cleaning area out the back. It was perfect!
