Very communicative owner, nicely done home with an excellent location. House does need house numbers and its name on it. WS a bit weird to try and find then walk onto property just guessing. Only way we knew was the door code worked…The description of the property amenities could use an upgrade….coffee machine, no beach equipment included, bbq is lacking.

Thank you so much for staying with us and sharing your thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad you enjoyed the location and found our communication helpful — making your stay smooth and easy is always our top priority.
You’re right about the house numbers and signage. We’re already working on clearer numbers and a proper sign so future guests won’t have to rely on their code-cracking skills!
We also appreciate your comments about the amenities. We’ll be updating our listing to spell out what’s included. While beach equipment isn’t part of the package right now, we’ll make sure that’s crystal clear going forward.
Thanks again for helping us level up the experience. We’d love to welcome you back and show off the improvements next time!
Warmly,
Team Salt & Sand
