Very good

Great property, spacious, well located, beautifully done up and clean. Excellent for a large family. Prompt and overall great customer service. Will surely visit again!
The good: Beautiful living space and views out across the fields and sea. Great location to walk to the beach and get around the island. Beautiful garden - just wish we had been able to use the outdoor space (see below).The not so good: The kitchen is old but was expected as per photos. There were only 2 glasses to use, but the rest of the crockery etc. is well equipped. The outside area was dirty and unuseable - rusty firepits and darts lying around on the floor, a lot of bird poo on the floor in the covered area, dust and dirt all over the chairs and tables. Very large weeds in the driveway. The upstairs decking table and chairs were rusty and unuseable. The back door bannister had fallen off and was lying on the ground. No drying airer as advertised, and when I alerted the team, I was instructed to go and buy one myself and claim back as it was Christmas eve and they didn't have the team around to help (5 day booking). The online house information is not great for someone who is international and roaming - a hard copy in the house would have been helpful.

Beautiful but…
Lovely property. Need to get air conditioning sorted. Nearly melted and only 1 tiny fan provided. Also. I emailed before our arrival asking if yard was fully fenced for our dogs ( essential I would think when advertising as “dog friendly” ). We had to make a temporary gate across the driveway.
