View as pictured but also views up the coast from the balconyYard at rear(not beachside) fully fenced but could be jumpable if dog that way inclined.Cool retro vibe to the house. Relaxing with two living areas and balconies. Great holiday fun with direct access to beach via public path off the end of property (not fenced or gated there but sign posted ‘private’ ) & 2 games rooms.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay overall. We appreciate your comments regarding accessibility and will take them into consideration as we continue to improve guest comfort and safety.
We had the most relaxing stay at the castle over the weekend. The highlight was being able to bring our furry family member. The house is well appointed for pets with water bowls on both enclosed balconies. It is worth noting the the fenced backyard is quite a low fence so might not suit tall dogs or dogs prone to jumping. Foosball and table tennis were an added bonus that came in handy when we had a storm roll through. Great views from the upstairs living areas over the ocean. Good location, only 15 minute walk into main town centre. Property managers were very easy to deal with, check in/out was seamless. Highly recommend this property, would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback! We're so glad you had a relaxing stay at The Castle and that your furry family member was able to enjoy the pet-friendly amenities. We appreciate you noting the fence height for other pet owners to consider. It’s great to hear that the foosball and table tennis added to your experience, especially during the storm, and that you enjoyed the beautiful ocean views and convenient location. We’re also pleased that check-in and communication were seamless. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back again!
