When my daughter walked through the house, she said, this is one of the cleanest houses she has ever seen. The owner set up a beautiful Christmas tree for the children. It is such an easy house to live in. Thank you

The property was very clean and modern. It catered for us and our pet very well. We had a lovely stay, albeit for some unseasonal whether, at St Leonards. The property was very close to the beach. I highly recommend staying at this property as it is ideal for couples and families with pets. Jodie was keeping us informed prior and during our stay. She made things very easy for us, so thank you Jodie.

Our favourite place to stay!

This is our second stay here, and it certainly won't be our last! The home is beautiful, spotless, and truly feels like a home away from home. The owners are wonderful—kind, and welcoming. The outdoor space is absolutely stunning, providing the perfect area for both children and dogs to play. The home is located in a quiet estate and only a short drive from the beach. We love staying here!

Liked: Location
This property was comfortable enough and well stocked but I suggest guests takes photos of any existing damage on arrival. Landlords struggle with normal ware and tare on property. If guests have any knee problems the lounge furniture is quite low to the ground .We had three adults who required a bed room each. One adult had to sleep on the bottom of a bunk bed with a single mattress.

Plenty of room for everything

We had three generations staying at the property - Mum and I just wanted a midweek getaway, while daughter monopolised the dining table with university coding work. The separate tv space meant we could all use the house and enjoy our time together without getting in each other’s hair.The place was spotless and everything worked as it should.
