Our stay was pretty much everything that was promised. We enjoyed the facilities and the location. When we first arrived we found the place was missing a number of things in the kitchen one would need for a two month stay. But one phone call to our host Judy and all of our needs were met.

A lovely stay in Oceanside Village.

The check in was easy, the host was very attentive and was quick to reply to any queries. The location is very good and the swimming pool is excellent. There is good parking and a lovely little adventure golf course and arcade included.

Amazing rental!

Beautiful cottage very close to a lovely beach walk. There is a market with goats on the roof that is a short drive, a must see with great prices! All 5 of us were perfectly comfortable, and the cottage has a great layout. Judy was an amazing host. One of my absolute favorite vrbos I have ever stayed in and very reasonably priced. We hope to be back and would definitely stay here again!
