Great location; thanks for a lovely stay

We stayed for a long weekend in winter, and while the weather wasn’t great for beach trips, the house was warm and cozy, and had everything we needed. Property manager was lovely, and made everything easy. We’d love to come back in summer! Thanks!

The location was great - just across the road from the beach.

The location was great - just across the road from the beach. Well equipped unit, with modern fixtures and a heat pump. Nice little front yard area. Road noise at night was hardly noticeable either, but reasonably busy during the day of course.
