Adorable personal touches like a kitchen towel folded into a bow and a little bow on the toilet tissue! Supplies were arranged in a cute way under the sinks also! My girls loved the illuminated mirror in the hall bath. Everything worked perfectly from the TVs to the washer and dryer. Bikes were enjoyed as was the pool! Everything supplied for beach days.

Apr 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect property for our stay Everything was so easy from the moment we booked this property, the owners got back to us immediately with any questions we had. Easy check in with an email prior to our booking with details on accessing the property, even better no keys to worry about just a key pad and code for everyone to come and go as they please. The house itself is on a lovely quiet street, the house has plenty of parking, door code in to house and you step into a lovely bright and airy entrance with all rooms leading off, the master suite is spacious, comfortable and a good size en-suite and closet, the other bedrooms both comfortable with plenty of storage and again plenty of closet space, all decorated beautifully and exceptionally clean. The living space was ample for us as a family, leading into dining area and then the kitchen, again with everything you need for your stay. The pool was a perfect temperature and the outdoor space provided plenty of seating and loungers for everyone, plenty of inflatables for the pool too, the game room was great and we took advantage to improve our table tennis skills, this is a fantastic space if you are there with younger children. The BBQ was great and easy to use, and we enjoyed a few meals seated outside in the early evening sun. Overall our experience was very positive, we couldn’t have asked for more, the property is as seen in the photos, very clean, beautiful decor and provided everything we needed, a five star rating from us, thank you. ##### Tim B.
