Great location - beautiful sunrises
This property was a cute little house, well appointed and in a perfect location. Just one street from the waterfront, you could be on the beach within minutes. Tidy house with everything you need.

A lovely sunny spot to rest
We very much appreciated the open plan kitchen / living area and the vast amount of natural light. The fresh coat of paint in most of the house, the new kitchen and elegant styling help disguise the true condition of the property. Overall it was very clean (although the couches need professional help) and well appointed with everything you need in a home away from home. We would certainly choose to stay here again.
