Great location, good house, walking distance to the beach, short drive to the shops. Only issue was cleanliness. Had to pick up a garbage bag in the centre of the front steps on arrival, and there was a water bottle and segment of fake lashes under the dining table. We travelled with toddlers who crawled around and got dirty knees from the floors. Host provided a high chair but it had old food still in it. There was cows milk and almond milk in the fridge but the almond milk expired 3 weeks before we got there. There was honey in the cupboard and a stream of ants coming from the floorboards straight to it. Really wish I could give a better review, but at the price point they're asking of over 700 a night I expect significantly better housekeeping.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 May 2026
Thank you for your feedback, Tim, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found the home convenient for the beach and nearby shops. We sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered on arrival. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. We were not made aware of these concerns during your stay, and had we known, we would have promptly reattended the property to address them for you. That said, please be assured that all the items you’ve raised — including the rubbish, floor condition, high chair, expired items, and pest concern — have now been fully addressed with our team. While busy periods can sometimes lead to oversights, this is not an excuse, and we have reinforced our cleaning and inspection processes to prevent this from happening again. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and understand your expectations at this price point. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a much improved experience.
