The apartment was clean, cosy and lovely with amble blankets, towels and tea. We loved that we could easily store our bikes in the garage and take off riding straight from the door. The only thing that I would say is that the shower’s water pressure was weak, but is expected for the era of the building. We loved our stay, it had stunning views, a quick walk straight onto the beach and it’s cute little balcony with a comfy day bed to chill out. Thank you, would love to return sometime soon! ##### Renee Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cathy 10 Apr 2023 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great location & views. Kitchen a little dated and despite closing doors & windows and putting food away etc had a multitude of bugs in it every night. Also found an open half full packet of chips under one of the beds. Shower temp was difficult to get right. Overall though the unit was set out nicely and had free WiFi, Netflix and Apple TV which was good. Owners were easy to communicate with and provided good information. ##### Cathy Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew and Patricia 24 Nov 2023 ##### Andrew and Patricia Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth 26 Jun 2022 ##### Ruth Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Gregory 14 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Gregory Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Carolyn 30 Apr 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place was not clean Kitchen not up to a reasonable standard Stove top dirty above stove filthy, jug dirty on the outside remote controls where filthy mugs in pantry all stained ##### Carolyn Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Vivienne 23 Mar 2022 Liked: Communication #### Beachside apartment.
