Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house was beautifully decorated and furnished and clean with everything you need plus a hot tub which was prepared for us (and a second hot tub in the annex). The annex lets you split the property from the main part of the house as it has its own bedroom, living room/kitchen and small garden. The main house has a huge living room/dining room. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs (one ensuite) and two further bathrooms downstairs (one with a shower which can be used either by the main house of the annex). The location was excellent for our purpose which was to relax and walk to the beach. It is a little remote which we knew but perfect for tranquility. There are two cafes near the beach but the kitchen at the house had everything you need to prepare food at home. We had a little trouble getting in as the lock didn't work but the agent was very quick to respond, help us access the property with a key from an emergency key safe and then sent someone to look at the problem within 40 minutes. That is pretty good.
