Great property so close to the beach

Great place to stay for families. Property well set up with plenty of space for the kids to play. Everything clean and tidy and kitchen well stocked. Nice deck to eat outside of an evening. Also handy to be able to put car in the garage. Would stay here again

Perfect beach location

We stayed with my parents and had a lovely time. The house is super close to the beach and is a great space for relaxing.The upstairs is a great retreat but Airconditioner was old and ineffective so temp upstairs was awful on any day over 30.Lack of WiFi meant kids off devices (great), but also challenging if hoping to work while away (not so great)Overall though, this is a great place to stay and we’d go agsin in a heartbeat
