Lovely place for family stay

Outside looks like a little old shack. Inside is lovely and comfortable. It has been made very homely. Reception isn't great in the area but there are dvds and books, some beach toys to keep the kids entertained in down time.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Mar 2025
Cassie's stayed with her family & proved to be a great guest. We had some communication difficulties after check-out regarding misplaced personal items & the property not being left secured, but otherwise we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
