Great for a Big Group!

Had everything we need for a weekend away, the additional board games and space was a fantastic addition… just be aware the Spa takes a while to heat up Overall would stay again!

Fun house in quiet area

House was a great set up, beds were comfy with clean fresh sheets! Quiet and private which was nice! Checking in was so easy and communication from our host was great! Only a couple of issues, the spa was completely icy cold when we got there and switched off at the power point, it takes a good 24 hours to heat up so we missed out on spa time on our first night/day which was disappointing. We could only turn on 1 stove burner in the kitchen as the other stove knobs would not turn and click. The little pantry was a bit dirty and needs to be cleaned out as there is a few ants. All in all we had a wonderful time!

Great Family Escape

The slide and the spa were a great hit with the kids, kept them occupied for hours. House was clean and had everything we needed! Melodie was a delight to deal with and even gave us the opportunity of an early checkin and a late check out!

Beautiful family friendly getaway

The property was beautifully presented on arrival. The kids especially love the blue slide and spa! They are either on the slide or in the spa. Located walking distance to the beach which is a huge convenient. Melodie was extremely responsive and helpful to any questions / issues we had. Thank you so much for a memorable Christmas break!
