We were accidentally given the check in information for the yurt next door but were relieved to learn I had booked the other accommodation. Beautiful spot and great star gazing at night in the hammock provided and outdoor bean bag chairs. My favorite VRBO rential - EVER.

Truly amazing location!! Right off the coast line and the walkway down to the water is right below the venue. Really cute little house! The large windows are perfect for watching the water. Would book this again in a heartbeat!! The location is ideal for morning walks along the coastal trail- made it incredibly idyllic. Would be perfect for a couples get-away. Cannot recommend it enough

I can’t speak highly enough of this accomodation. When we got out of the car I saw two beanbags on the deck to sit in and soak up the amazing view, just what we needed for the long weekend. Inside the beautifully decorated cabin was everything we required. The very comfortable bed also faced the amazing view.

Stunning west coast views

We loved our stay, and exploring the beach and walks in the area. The accommodation was very clean, modern and comfortable. Small but had everything we needed. Kids appreciated having Netflix, the chess set and thanks to whoever left four icecreams in the freezer! We enjoyed the nearby lighthouse walk and stunning views.

Just such a beautiful spot and the studio was ideal for my aging parents, access was great and enough space for a 'walker'. Had everything we needed and the communication with host was great, super helpful.

Fantastic place - a real gem

We arrived at the beach house. It is amazing. The photos do not do it justice. A very private location with all the home comforts. It has a bbq which is a great bonus. Down some steps and you are on a secluded beach which is really pretty. There are really cute Wekas around the property which come for visits. We stayed 2 nights but wished it had been longer.

Reality

Beautiful environment. Wonderful views and privacy. No facility for luggage.Bed mattress protector uncomfortable for movement on sheet. Towels only provided on first day so wet and cold thereafter with no towel rail. Very difficult to alter shower temperature. Very few tea bags. Couldn’t find a chopping board. Microwave oven dangerously high for average person to unload hot dishes. Simple things that are fixable so best of luck.

Hi, there are spare towels in the draws below the bed. More Tea bags under the sink. 3 chopping boards in the right hand cupboard below the sink. And sorry the microwave was to high for you.
