Lovely quite location Enjoyed our stay

Beautiful property. Very cosy and comfortable stay. Eases one into a reflective mood ... making me feel I might be able to write that book after all.

We really enjoyed our stay - great house, clean and everything functional - close to the shops and a short drive to the beach.

The property was clean and the living and bedroom areas were large. There were no wardrobes in the bedrooms but plenty of room to have them. The views were beautiful. The pool pump room was literally located within the main bedroom, so it was very noisy through the day. The driveway was very, very steep. I was concerned our car would not get up it. Fortunately, we had an SUV, I don't know if a small sedan could make it. The kitchen was small and only had a bar fridge; a full-size fridge and larger kitchen would have been more ideal. There was little interaction with the hosts as they had relatives staying at the time, which may be ideal for some people. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Just be careful when booking this property. The washing machine broke down apparently flooding the floor (the property had already been vacated) so was news to us. VRBO took $1500 out of our account as a claim. The owner went and bought a brand new top of the line washing machine for $1279.00 plus $99 delivery fee, I have a copy of the tax invoice she also had a quote to fix her broken machine for $685.46, however they couldn't fix the machine for another 2 months so she bought a new expensive machine. Whilst googling the model make and number of the broken machine I found that it retailed between $600 & $900 depending on what year it was bought. Also fair to note that the new machine was delivered to another address. So be careful when staying that you make sure that all appliances / property are photographed because I'd hate you to have to pay for a high end fridge. I feel scammed
