The property was well set up for 10 adults, we all commented on how comfortable the beds were. The house was clean with bedding and towels provided. The property was warm and the lounge caught the sun most of the day. The location was perfect to explore Two Mile Bay, we had a lovely brunch at the Two Mile Bay Sailing Club.
House is large and roomy, plenty of room for our group of 10. Immaculate presentation, no hidden extras ( all linen , cleaner etc inclusive ). Totally recommend this property.
Property was good. A couple of things could be improved. A hand towel in the toilet where there was a basin would have been helpful, only one was provided in the bathroom. No tea towels at the property. One of the downstairs bedrooms had a chest of drawers but nowhere to hand anything and the other bedroom had nothing.

We’re glad you enjoyed the property overall. 😊 It sounds like our cleaner may have forgotten to leave a few items , we do provide hand towels and tea towels, so we’re sorry they were missed on this occasion. Had you contacted us during your stay, we would have been more than happy to bring those over right away.
