The house had everything we needed for our stay while we worked in the area. It was close enough for us to walk to town and the marina and to enjoy the local restaurants. It was very comfortable and thoughtfully organised. We missed having a beautiful view, but it was quiet and we slept well. Great house for a group, or family, sleeps 11.

Great for Pets

Overall a nice stay. Had a lot of hassle accessing the accommodation as the deadlock was left locked hence the code couldnt let us in. Wasted a good hour in the heat trying to sort the problem. The unit was nice, well equipped. The lounge though was terribly uncomfortable and the place needed an aicon.

Location was excellent for us but this is overpriced for what it is, basic. Some gardening and sweeping out the front would provide a better welcome. Entry via a garage roller door is novel but functional, then we were met with the BBQ area with a multitude of chairs and a very dusty table. Already on guard when entering the unit, it didn’t seem clean. Maybe as left by the previous guest with the bed made and fresh towels. On checking we noted that there was plenty of coffee pods but no espresso machine as listed in a number of places in descriptions etc. So we wouldn’t accused of its theft, we contacted the agent. They were very responsive and machine was promptly delivered (appreciated). But all the coffee pods supplied were not compatible with the machine delivered. Almost amusing . And no aircon at this price. Lots of fans just doesn’t cut it. Sorry, but I could not recommend this property.
