We had a wonderful stay. The property was perfect for our large family group - lots of bathrooms, flexible bedding arrangements, a kid friendly back yard and close to the beach. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped.
Wonderful home with absolutely everything you could want and need. Clean beautifully kept. Perfect for all 13 of us. Highly recommend this home for family gathering . Was a lovely weekend had by us all.
Property well exceeded our expectations. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Very big and spacious and very generous to provide us with food and drinks and bbq equipment. The property in person looks much better than the photos provided. It was overall an amazing property and would definitely recommend staying here.
