Absolutely fantastic location and views were great. The place was very cool and had a real beach vibe. I can imagine that it would be fantastic over summer with all the doors open as the decks are great and the outdoor bathroom would really be useful then. I would personally have liked a few more amenities such as platters, champagne flutes, potato masher, a whisk and perhaps a couple of wooden chopping boards. This is entirely my personal preference by the way as we love cooking and wine.

Beautiful place to stay. Incredible view and location. House is an amazing layout and beds were very comfortable. Would happily stay again. Only comment I would have is that kitchen could do with a microwave. And maybe some dedicated outdoor furniture on the front deck. (So you don't always have to move the furniture outside each day) Highly recommend staying here ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter v. 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Listing accuracy ##### Peter v.
