Great location
The property is located very close to beach and shops. It is very clean house with everything you need to enjoy your stay. We were a group of 8 adults travelling on motorbikes and as we had to pack lightly it was great to have the house provide all the basics such as tea, coffee, shampoo conditioner etc. We also had ample room to park all bikes with fencing all around the property which would also be good if you had children. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Comfortable stay
The house was nice, clean and comfortable, and the gas fire place was lovely. It is located walking distance to the main strip which was convenient. The house advertises that it sleeps 11, however the price is based on 4 people, so because we had 8 people we were charged with an 'additional person' fee x 4. Maybe I didn't read the fine print, or maybe a little misleading. That aside, it is a nice house.
