Bayview House Review
The location was good and the views from the balcony was great. I felt the property wasn't as clean as I expected and having the shower over the bath could be a problem for older folks. The prflyscreen in the upstairs bathroom appears to have fallen out onto the roof, below making it awkward to have the window open. On the plus side, there was plenty of crockery, glasses, dishes etc. available. I look forward to seeing the property once all the alterations have been completed.

Great family house.
We enjoyed staying at the house, and especially enjoyed the views from the deck! Was great being able to take our dogs too. It's not the most modern or luxurious house, but it is spacious, and had everything we needed.

Disappointed
We did find the locality and overall layout of this property suitable for us, however we found the property to be poorly maintained, very cluttered and shabby inside ,messy cupboards,rips and stains in carpet,it was dirty,and the lawn hadn’t been mown,was knee high.Bedside lamps didn’t work in the main bedroom. We also hadn’t been told towels weren’t supplied,the owner did supply these when we contacted her. We did enjoy the lovely upstairs balcony with sea views.
