Such a relaxing time away with friends. Plenty of space for our two families and not far to travel to local shops, restaurants, beaches and more.
We had the best time!
The property is in a great location. It's well presented, comfortable and the pool table is an asset with teenagers. it has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Our family will certainly want to come again.
Chiton Drift was a fantastic property to stay at. Plenty of room for us all to have space and the location was brilliant. Loved the use of the bikes! We will definitely be back!
Lovely space to relax with family made special as out four legged family member is also welcome. Visited many times and quality of the property and communication with owners is always of a high standard.
An attractive, comfortable house in a great position, a short walking distance to a beautiful beach, perfect for a family get-together. The teenage children, and the almost teenager, love the pool table and the outdoor 'surfboard' shower. This was our second stay and we will come again.

Thanks for the lovely review Cynthia.
Great to have you back again. 😀
Everything needed was supplied. Good location. The pool table was a great bonus keeping us occupied. The view from the balcony just like the pictures. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
This property was perfect for a holiday by the beach. The beds were excellent and clean. The views were amazing. The deck was fabulous. All appliances worked. Good secure yard for dog. Nice grass around house. Best holiday house we've stayed in
Loved the location and short walking distance to the beach. The bikes were a bonus to cruise along the bike trail. The open plan living and balcony were great for our group. A bonus that we could bring our dog. The outdoor shower was so handy to wash off the sand. The kitchen was stocked well with appliances and cookware. Could have done with some more bin liners, spray n’ wipe and bug spray. Only negative was the mattress in the upstairs main bedroom was very hard. Other than that I would recommend to anyone. Thank you
This was a lovely house with excellent facilities for our family with teenagers. Great views from the deck and perfect location. Everything was so easy to organise with the owners. The property did not disappoint.
Loved this property! So close to the beach which meant morning walks with the kids and Fred the Springer Spaniel were easy. The outdoor shower was excellent for getting rid of all the sand that the kids and the dog brought home with them. The pool table was a bonus for night time entertainment, and the view of the hills was just so lovely. We had a great stay, and the communication from Mark was excellent. Would highly recommend this property and would love to return!
