Dreams place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely place for a vacation. The house itself was so beautiful and well organised. Very spacious inside with beautiful decorations. The only drawback for us the oldies was the driveway situation and the 30steps stairs. Very hard to drive up and also the TV keeps stopping because of the internet or the WIFI connections. It keeps losing connections all the time. Needs to be fixed. Apart from that everything was perfect.

Stunning water views

Once you navigate the steep driveway and 2 flights of stairs, the effort is well worth it. Fabulous views were amazing and my friends and I had a great time sitting out on the deck watching the sunrise and sunsets, and a short stroll to the beach. Would definitely come back again...

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a wonderful time at Wanda Point House. Very comfortable with everything we needed. Views were spectacular. Loved sitting out on the deck taking in the views. And waking up in the morning with the views from the bedroom was an added bonus. Access to dog friendly beach was brilliant for our border collie. Driveway was a challenge to get car up, but we opted to park on road and walk up, so wasn'ta problem. Plus it was great exercise. And well worth it with the views that we had.

Beautiful home with amazing views

The house is fantastic. Really impressive. The deck is amazing. Great amenities. 5mins walk to the village. 3 mins walk to the beach. We would definitely stay again. In fact we extended by one night. The driveway is very steep and there are a lot of stairs to access the property but the listing does mention this and we were fine with it. May not be so suitable for people who struggle with stairs or steep gradients.

winter waterside getaway

The house was a good size, and in a good location . Some of the door locks did not seem to work well, and some of the light bulbs needed replacing. The internet also was not working, but we managed ok ,by using our phones to hotspot. The driveway is quite steep and the flights of stairs might be challenging for any with mobility issues though not for the able bodied. The house is close to some handy local shops, and a short drive to lots of local sights. The view from the house is lovely, and having the scenery and local wildlife in view is nice.
