    The location with beautiful beachfront views had many hours watching the surf on the front porch. The house was very comfortable and clean with all the amenities that I needed.

    Getting very tired but we enjoy staying here, expectations are managed and all the basics are there. We love the proximity to the beach, closed in yard for the dogs. New mattreses was a nice surprise from our last visit.

    This is a very unloved and unclean property desperately requiring upgrading. Non functioning split system for 8 of my 12 day stay, filthy unusable oven, stained furniture and carpet, black mouldy bathroom outlets etc etc. Great view but I had to clean inside of windows to see out. Good WiFi but I definitely would not stay again or recommend to any one else. Balcony is extremely dangerous as missing downward rail leaving a large gap. I was aware this is an older property but did not expect this very poor level - quite insulting. Communication with the booking agent was prompt but ineffective and quite frankly useless.

    Property was no frills neat and tidy. Was good for what we wanted but with stairs in the middle of the room would not like to stay with young children. Tea/coffee and small milk was supplied but it would have been nice to have a few other basics such as salt and pepper would have been nice.

    A week of groundhog days…. Waking up to the beach, surfers, seals…. Beach walks with the dogs, neighbour hood walks, starry nights, puzzles and books. Our fifth visit was wonderful, hopefully stay number 6 isn’t too far away. Love it!
