Good bach
Good location and easy communication with owner. He lives below the rental and you barely know he is there. He comes and goes and doesn't bother you. Having a fenced garden was good as we had a small child with us. Great deck and views to the sea. House layout and bedrooms were good. Living area was larger than the photos made it look. The only downside was that the interior could do with a deep clean. The bathroom/kitchen were clean but I was aware that there were cobwebs and accumulated dust in corners of rooms which brought the overall feeling of cleanliness down. Would be happy to stay there again.

Unprepared
Suited our needs for Xmas accommodation while visiting family, however, the host was not prepared for our arrival and the accommodation could do with a thorough clean throughout. Sheets provided were very aged with yellowing pillowcases. Similar for towels.

A great beach holiday
A great place to stay with the grandkids. Very close to the beach with a lovely garden for boys and dog to play in. David provided kayaks to use which was a big hit with the little boys. Overall a successful summer break.

Great location, fantastic view, friendly host. We had wonderful stay, thank you!
Great little place, awesome facilities, a huge bonus to be able to use the BBQ and kayaks. We truely enjoyed it. The only minor thing was low water pressure in the shower. The house is very close to the beach, the view from the deck is stunning. Highly recommend! Thank you David for having us. Cheers, Kate
