Jan 29, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Host was welcoming and gave us an early check in, which was a lovely courtesy. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of linen and towels. The yard was lovely for family time and the beach was just a short walk. We were surprised and delighted that there was a beach trolley to transport our belongings between the house and beach. ##### Sara L.
