Fantastic location. The view that hits you when entering the house must be one of the more impressive of any house in the country. Beautiful!

Honestly, this place is incredible! For anyone that surfs, you have the best view of Whale Bay and Indicators and direct access to the ocean. It is perfect. The house, heated outdoor shower, tub, heated floors, and everything else is really incredible. Best stay I have ever had at any vacation rental. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Gorgeous, quiet spot

Really liked this place as it has an amazing ocean and rocks view. Very nicely presented and well equipped with good quality linens. It was in a quiet cul de sac and was private, although it could depend who was staying downstairs as the lower level is booked out separately.It was not far from Raglan which was great. Would stay here again if in the area.

Spectacular beyond descriptoin

This Vrbo is amazing. The ammenities made our stay perfect. The only negative is we only booked two nights! The description on Vrbo does not describe the beauty, cleanliness, kitchen stocked with any cooking utensils you would need, amazing property managers, heated floors or the views. We were in awe of this beautiful home home.

Home from home

We couldn't fault this property. It was so well-equipped and comfortable it felt like leaving home when we had to go. You could never tire of the views and could wile away hours just wanthing the surfers right outside your window. We were lucky enough to not have the rain we were expecting but even on a bad weather day you wouldn't feel couped up with the amazing covered outdoor area and the light bright accommodation. Location is an easy short drive into town so you have the best of all worlds. Thoroughly recommend it and would definitely rent again.
