#### Beachcomber resort
Great spot walking distance to the beach and surf. But plenty of off street parking there is not. If only 2 cars, no issue. House was great and gave us everything we needed except linen, which was a bit of a pain.

#### Family get away
The property was perfect for our needs and the size of the group. Location central and suitable. Kitchen was the best equipped we have seen. Outlook from the upstairs deck fantastic.On line listing could be better. Listing says there are 4 bathrooms whereas in fact there are 3. This did not really bother us but would like to see correct listing. The size of the bunk beds was not stated and the agent was not sure. In each of the two bunk rooms, there are two king singles, one double and one single bed.Would like to see maybe 2 chairs and a small table in the bungalow. We were short on toilet paper in the bungalow.We felt the garden needs some TLC and the scrappy plants in front of the house are growing over the path and we think represent a safety hazard. The lawn was immaculate and beautifully kept.

#### Fantastic house for families
This property is fantastic for families. There was plenty of space for our teenagers and their friends to stay for a few nights and a big kitchen for family dinners. The listing should be updated to reflect king single beds (not singles). Fortunately we brought spare sheets and were able to make it work, but it was a bit of a pain.
