Host was very helpful. Location just yards from the sea. Lots of interesting bird life. Pretty amazing for a stay in mid February! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott K. 6 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Stay In Point Clear Bay The house in Point Clear Bay is exactly as described. We booked for a family of 6 (2 kids and 2 grandparents) and they all loved the location. Sitting outside by the large doors overlooking the sea was fantastic. The sunset and moon views were great and it was very relaxing watching the tides change. The house is very well equipped with notes, guides, amenities and welcome basket of goodies. I can recommend crabbing by the sea when the tide is almost high, and a walk around the peninsula. Local beaches were nice at Frinton. One small point is that the road to the house is a bit of a mess and needs to be taken slowly. So be careful! ##### Scott K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian A. 1 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay We had a fantastic May bank holiday weekend at Curlew. 6 adults a 5year old and 2 one year olds. Price very resonable, accomodation comfortable and views amazing. Ellie seems to have thought of everything, the kitchen is well equiped even down to the herbs and spices. Lots of thought into every area, toys, games, DVDs, beach equipment (including towels), ideas for games on the beach. Made for a fun weekend for everyone. If you have dogs even they are catered for with toys and sleeping area. One thing to remember is your charging adapters as there are no USB ports on any of the sockets, but that didn't detract from everything else ##### Brian A. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023
