We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The position was perfect in walking distance of the beach and the shops. It had everything we needed and a Schnoodle also enjoyed her stay! The air conditioning was fantastic and made our stay in hot weather very comfortable. We would definitely go there again.

26 Jan 2026

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location

Host communication good, amenities clean. One shower door broken rendering it unusable, pillows so thin they were nonexistent in terms of support causing sore necks (we went and bought some), branches hanging low over driveway had to be held to get car in and bushes along path covering. Most of the entry. No key to back slider or laundry door, so we’re forced to leave area dogs were left in to get out. Gate / lattice falling apart, large gaps under fences - to front of property, covered but easily removed, downstairs toilet buttons so stiff children couldn’t press the flush. No pantry. Main bed so low it’s hard to get out of. Couch sagging in seats also hard to get off. Air conditioners work well.
