Great house for a large group, the pool was a hit with the teenagers. Great space to relax and unwind. There was an issue with the water while we were there. We were kept updated and issue resolved without too much impact on our stay.

Our sincere apologies about the water issues. Unfortunately, a large main line supplying the houses and farm split and took a little while to locate and repair.

Lovely house close to the beach. Water pressure was bad especially in the shower. Dishes were dirty and had to be cleaned 3 fold before using. Otherwise really good.

We had a wonderful stay overall, and the property has a lot to offer. The views are absolutely gorgeous and were a highlight of our trip. The deck is fantastic for relaxing and taking everything in, and the pool is truly amazing—perfect for unwinding and enjoying the space. The house itself is very spacious, which made it comfortable for our group.That said, there are a few areas that could use improvement. We noticed dead bugs on the floors and some furniture, as well as cobwebs on the walls, which took away from the otherwise great experience. A more thorough cleaning would really elevate this property and match the high quality of the amenities.With better attention to cleanliness, this would be an exceptional place to stay.

Picturesque

We stayed the night prior to our wedding. Got ready there with the bridal party. The house has plenty of space for every person with the girls upstairs and the boys downstairs. Everyone was happy with no dramas. The photos with the photographer came back absolutely amazing with all the art and style of the house. 10/10
