Fabulous location for our family get together for my 60th. Beach out front and nice grassed back yard to kick a ball with the grandkids. Lots of parking for 4 cars. Hosts responded very quickly to messages.
Stunning beach really good for small kids. Direct access to the beach and the house was really comfortable.

This is a lovely place however, downstairs there was an infestation of cockroaches, spider webs inside the house.Kitchen drawer was broken, seal in one of the showers fell off.R/V cycle air cons did not work, fans were sent to the house the next day
We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the ease of access to it. The home was extremely comfortable on the couple of days that we had to remain indoors due to the weather.

Reviewer Comments:
How could you not love your stay at this beautiful property. Its difficult to find a large house looking straight out onto the beautiful ocean, in season the whales are so close its spectacular. Sails is well equipped for a larger group. Just a beautiful place to spend a holiday.

The house was perfect for our 4 couples getaway. The living areas are large enough for everyone to chill out and enjoy the view. Great to watch the sunrise.
This house is divine- in the perfect location for shopping, restaurants or pure relaxation. We have been several years running now and it is just brilliant.

House was clean and well appointed
Amasing location. Well stocked kitchen, great for family holiday. Balcony was dangerous and not suitable for young children as rails are loose and there is a large gap around the edge. Overall, a beautiful property.
