The property has a lovely aspect and location and the backyard is definitely the best part. Unfortunately some of the house could have used a more thorough clean as the bathroom left a bit to be desired as far as the clean along with a Fair amount of dust around the lounge area. Otherwise good and the Beds were very comfortable. ##### Caitlin M.

But the location of the property was amazing. Great getaway and an amazing town to stay in. Will definitely be back ##### lani b.

Appliances in house are new and work well bedding comfortable great back yard, bbq terrible and dirty and gas bottle empty and no air conditioning lovely breezes off the sea and quiet spot, Checking out by 10 am and not able to check in till 3pm was unfair and cost us one whole days fee but not able to check in till late afternoon. ##### MARILYN D.
