Great chilled holiday house, perfect location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rented this house to spend the long weekend with our little family of 3 and friends with their 2 kids. The place was really clean, offered all the basics and more. Books and games for kids and adults to play after long days at the beach. Big garden for kids to run around. Very clean. Amazing stay

Great Sty!
We had a great stay. The house was clean and had a great yard for the kids and dog to play. The back porch and bbq were a great place to relax in the sun. It’s only a short 10min walk down a tree lined dirt track to beach and a short drive or longer walk to town. The house was ready with tea coffee milk etc and was well setup. The house is older (as shown in the photos) but is great. A bigger/nicer kitchen table would be good, but our family of 6 fit no problems. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024
