Lovely!
Excellent communication prior to our stay. Upon arrival the house was very clean and was as pictured. An easy location as we walked along the beach every morning with our dog and later drove to the beach at Vetnor a dog friendly beach. The shops were nice and close. A relaxing time in a lovely home.

Spacious but lacking the little touches
Great bbq but no bbq utensils or cleaning supplies. No washing up liquid. No oven mitts. Write up mentioned a coffee machine but there wasn’t one there. All in all we had a good time and enjoyed our stay but a few additional items would have made life easier.
