Idle a while was absolutely perfect. The location was sensational and the condition of the property was pristine. Liz was always on hand for queries and suggestions. Couldn’t have been more helpful. Would highly recommend

Quick walk to necessities, right on the beach. Fell asleep every night to the sound of the waves. Powerful shower, comfy bed, good size fridge w freezer, full oven/range. Laundry on site. Wifi. BBQ!!!!! The deck is spectacular and even has an external tap for rinsing off. The unit is pleasantly bright and you can get a good breeze through.Lex picked us up at the airport and went above and beyond with a special detail for me! Joyanne is lovely, does a great job and was straight up with us. . We will be back! Thank you!
