"My overall assessment of the property was good. Great location walking distance to the beach. My regret was that we couldn't use upstairs i did not realise how many stairs there were to get into the house. The bottom 4 had no rail at all. So was glad we could use the bottom flat which was very comfy.it was very pet friendly although no fences for the bottom flat."

"Great location, amazing views. House is comfortable and easy to use. Details like an empty gas bottle, no kindling, broken rangehood, and attention to detail with cleaning. Take own linen too. Couldn't image taking my dog there (maybe a small dog), stairs and driveway are steep, hence the amazing ocean views. 4 stars."
