Great family beach vacation
This was a perfect house for our 2-family vacation that included an infant, 3 toddlers, and 2 primary school aged kids. The distance from the beach was perfect and ample space for everyone inside. The kitchen is basic, but if you’re really into cooking you might want to bring your own essentials (eg sharp knife, etc). Thank you for a lovely vacation.

Fun time at the beach
The property was great and Kat was great to communicate with during our stay. The house is a 2 minute walk to the beach. The kids and adults all had plenty of space. The only thing is that the BBQ pit could be replaced. Otherwise, all positives from us. Highly recommend.

Comfortable and close to the beach
Our family of 11 enjoyed this comfortable house with a large table for our meals and games, The master bed was very comfortable! The sand pit under the house made a great place to hangout in the shade. It would have been even better if the swing could be hung to face the sand pit play area.

Mini-Family Reunion
We met our son and daughter and their families at the beach house. Just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect! Everyone enjoyed themselves and we (almost) had enough room for everyone. We barbecued, roasted marshmallows, and walked on the jetty. Great place to stay!!
