We enjoyed this house, well located, comfortable, clean, perfectly provisioned and set up. It was a perfect holiday house and really enhanced our beach stay. The icing on the cake was the meticulous service and support by Taylor from Jellis Craig, a real treasure. Thankyou.

We stayed here for 14 nights over the summer break. The home was clean and well maintained, very functional with plenty of supplies. We loved the back deck and front grass area also. Location is excellent. We are a family of four plus a small cavoodle and everyone had ample space. Comfy couches too
