Beach holiday

The house provided for all our needs and being within walking distance of the beach meant we didn’t need to use the car as often.

Easy, comfortable and well located

Small comfortable property close to beach and shops. Well equipped and helpful to have reliable Wi-Fi. Only suggestion is to have spare blankets rather than rely on keeping heaters on for chilly winter nights.

Easy, clean and bright home.

Great house. Clean and bright. Front deck is great. Back yard good too. Easy stroll to beach or town. Comfortable furnishings..beds are great. Probably needs champagne glasses and if we were to stay longer we would require WiFi. Thanks for a great mini break.

A home away from home

As a family of five, (three kids aged 8,10 and 12) we were pleasantly surprised to find the Blue House to be a relaxing, well fitted out, mod con home that proved to be very welcoming and comfortable. Little things like, blue-tooth stereo, games for kids, beach goods carrier, a good little selection of kids dvd's, a nice split air conditioner and well thought out bathroom were just a few things to name. The Blue House exceeded our expectations. The only two things that could be improved (and this was pushing for ideas) was having blue dish cloths available for washing and wiping down tables and getting the head of the vacuum fixed (i.e. wasn't turning). Onto other things, the Blue House was just a 5 minute stroll away from the beach and 10 minute stroll to the centre of town. We really enjoyed the walk, looking at the mountains, etc. Overall we were extremely pleased with the experience.Thank you...we will be back!

Cute beach house

Cute house away from the hustle of town and close to the beach. We stayed over Easter so was nice not to be near town. The house has undergone a basic renovation to modernise a classic beach shack. House and furniture was comfy enough just lacked a few finer things. Ie. Only one fry pan and no saucepans. Small cheap tv with a terrible remote. The house was clean but could clearly see it was a quick clean as corners were missed and a dirty towel left. Cleaning staff need a higher attention to detail. Overall a small nice beach house to stay at which offers a great location to walk everywhere.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr, 2020
Thank you for your feedback Belinda and great to hear you enjoyed the property over the Easter break. We apologies for the lack of frying pans and saucepan and since receiving your feedback we have now replenished these items. I have spoken to our housekeeping team and have advised them on the importance of attention to detail. Negative feedback regarding cleaning issues is regarded as our highest importance so thank you for informing us. We look forward to having you stay with us again.
