Relax to the sound of the surf on the beach and a good view. I came home refreshed and relaxed having enjoyed walking my spoodle along the many beaches around the area. ##### Glenys B. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Vlad Z. 2 Apr 2024 #### The Shack Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Shack is a big house without aircon and in hot humid days it is very difficult to stay cool specially at night. Does not have insect screen doors. Other not very nice story is hot water heater. Nobody has informed us about switching on the supply to heater and we had cold water shower the first days. Also the backyard lawn was not trimmed and for our small fury friend was a problem.But the view covers all the problem.The view from balcony (huge) is stunning. ##### Vlad Z. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Karen W. 21 Oct 2024 #### Relaxing Time! with Ocean Views! Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 2 week stay at The Shack was everything we expected. The property was clean and tidy and very well equipped for a holiday rental. And once you arrive no need for the use of your car everyday as the beach, ocean pool, cafe, local shops, bowling club and tavern are all a short walk from the property. Plus the golf course is a short 3 minute drive away. Loved listening to the ocean day and night and the longs walks along the sand. If you're looking to unwind on your holiday then this is the location to do so. I would highly recommend this property to family and friends. A bonus it is pet friendly!The only negative, some sliding windows need silicone spray as they were very stiff to unlock/open and the curtain/blinds need a good clean. Blinds are very weathered (need replacing) and would be great to be able to open the heavier curtains and still have privacy with a sheer curtain (or something similar). These are simple fixes! ##### Karen W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert C. 18 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great property for a couple or family. Relaxing views of beach. Well stocked, our dog loved the secured backyard and lots of walks on the dog friendly beach. The local Tavern was a hit for dinner. ##### Robert C. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mrs U. 30 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The shack Great location for our needs, a way of keeping warm would have made our stay a little more comfortable, but a fantastic find! ##### Mrs U.
