We enjoyed our stay at Southern Escape-family of five for five nights. Loved the fully equipped kitchen & laundry. The second toilet was super convenient & the spaciousness & cleanliness of the house made our stay comfortable. Very short & easy drive to shops as well as site seeing destinations. Dora was a great host. We’d love to return again.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay and would highly recommend this property for families wanting a relaxing getaway close to everything. The large backyard was perfect for the kids to run around and burn off energy, while the home itself had all the essentials across the three bedrooms to keep everyone comfortable.The location couldn’t have been better — we were able to walk to dinner, explore the main strip, and enjoy nearby playgrounds and attractions with ease.Dora was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is kind, generous, and went above and beyond to help us throughout the entire booking process, making everything smooth and stress-free.We’ll definitely be back — a true 5-star experience!

Great stay in VH

Wonderful week in VH, the house is in a good location, only minutes walk to the town centre and shopping centres, beach and playground. Well furnished & stocked, wide selection of kitchen items, includes pretty well everything needed bar food and personal items (of course!). Even had some games for kids, and the back yard was much bigger space than anticipated which was a great surprise. The only downside was the slightly squeaky floors in the corridor between bedrooms and bathrooms, which made night time & mornings a little tricky to minimise noise whislt others slept, but we managed. Was cosy and comfortable otherwise. Thanks!
