Rented for 2022 MotoGP, the house was clean and had all facilities required to house 5 x separate people over 4 x bedrooms. Has a good quality bbq and two nice open decks to enjoy morning and afternoon sunshine.
Terrific place to visit and suited me as perfectly as I was there for the Moto GP......walk to the track, 👌

The location of the house is perfect, walking distance to 2 of the best and safest beaches on PI. Ideal surfing for beginners. The house has everything you need to sit back relax and enjoy with heaps of space to spread out. Booking and checking in/out was hassle free. We would recommend to any family and will be back. Thank you Sally and Bill, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
