Beautiful location and secluded beach access :)
Gorgeous outdoor space and amazing location. The beach nearby was a treat and it was so nice to be able to walk up to the house after a swim and use the warm outdoor shower. Laundry facility came in handy, and extra bathroom accessed from outside meant that we weren't crawling all over each other. It could be a bit snug for 6 adults if youre spending the whole time indoors, but we spent most of it out and about or on the deck, so it wasn't an issue.

Beautiful Bach
Steve’s Bach is beautiful and was very comfy and had everything we needed including Wi-Fi. The outdoor shower was excellent and the additional bathroom was great. The house had beautiful decor and nick nacks and had a special feeling about it. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out in the sun on the spacious deck everyday we wish we could have stayed longer. In a great location with views of the ocean . We brought our 2 pets along and they had lots of space to run around in the backyard. Thanks Steve :)

By the Beach at Tarikura
We went for a 70th Birthday party in the local hall, so the location was perfect for the occasion. Never stayed in the area so we went for a drive which was enjoyable. Thanks for letting us stay
