Jan 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic location. Fantastic house! The location was perfect.. just a very short stroll to the beach. The house is large and was plenty big enough for our family group of 10 (7 adults and 3 children). The views overlooking the sea were absolutely beautiful from the huge deck. Everything we needed was at the house and we all had a wonderful time. The only very minor issues were that the bbq burners weren’t working properly so had to use the oven inside for some of our cooking and the smoke alarm was “alarming” constantly on arrival as required a new battery. Other than this it was all perfect and we very much look forward to holidaying here again. Thankyou. ##### Maureen O. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven G.
