Nov 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location! You can’t beat the location of this property! We were disappointed that given the price per night you have to supply your own linen, towels including bath mats, basic necessities like hand soap, tea/coffee etc. in saying that we were very comfortable and didn’t have to use the car once after arriving. ##### Samantha G. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane Y. Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautifully presented house Beautifully presented house. Perfectly laid out for 2 families with plenty of living space. Great kitchen facilities and plenty of crockery and cutlery. 900m walk to beach although a little longer to town beach. Comfy beds and great bathrooms. Quiet location even during school holidays. Definitely recommend. ##### Jane Y. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vella N.

Mar 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and good amenities and size for families Close to shops and beach but in a quiet area, rear of 3 units. Spacious enough for 2 families, maybe an extra couple with no kids. Mostly good condition and clean but definitely used or could be updated. Great communication with agents and helpful interactions. ##### Catherine N. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charisse M.
