Dec 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Dream Stay Joan's Beach Cottage was very restful, quiet, and provided easy access to all local environs. The cottage itself was all that was needed and then more! Everything has been considered by the owners; we simply had to rock up and enjoy their understanding of how to support travellers. It truly was a home away from home and in the words of Arnie....'We'll be back!' Thanks to Peter and fam. Peter 'n' Cath ##### Peter A. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexandra J. Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint Well decorated, and consistent. Extra little details were good but missing a couple of helpful things.Curtain in bedroom would be appropriate, as blind does not cocer window and gate to other property behind. Also helpful when watching tv to have one in lounge. ##### Alexandra J.
