Jan 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquility at Seals Rocks The booking process was positive and painless bar a small hiccup with the address, but that was quickly remedied. The property itself was well located, just a short walk from several beaches and a shop that sold a variety of goods and a trendy coffee van, located outside the shop for that essential morning caffeine hit. The house was well equipped with just about everything you could think of including Alexa ( technology). A great range of pantry staples was also provided including sauces, cooking oils, tea and coffee, pastas, honey, foil, glad wrap, dish washing liquid, washing machine liquid etc. Beds and pillows were super comfy, lounge and dining furniture was modern, comfy and functional. We really couldn’t fault the property, our holiday was just awesome. ##### Jayne H. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Xanthe C.

Jun 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Too cold in winter Place is cute but not good in winter. There are no heaters and super drafty. The only thing is a fireplace but no wood so you have to get your own. And the fire doesn't go on all night so by 3am the house is freezing which is hard with kids. Would be great if the place just came with heaters. ##### Jaime B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicole H.
