The house was lovely, it was very well appointed and spotlessly clean. It was a perfect place to stay for a family catch up. We would love to come back.

Brilliant in South Bay

Near new, extremely appointed, amazing view, perfectly clean, really comfortable, great kitchen - with a view, spacious, straight across the road from the beach and a short hop in a car to the town centre. Just brilliant in every way.

Pack binoculars!

This is the second time we've stayed at this house, and will definitely plan to stay here in the future. The house is modern, clean and warm. It has all the amenities you need, and is sufficiently spacious for a big family or group of friends. Our highlight was watching humpback whales from the living room.
