"Really lovely spot with beachfront views of Knights beach from living room and master bedroom. Cleanliness of bathrooms and kitchen could be improved, on arrival we found the table was sticky and dishes / glassware not clean. Tile grout in bathrooms could be improved and new bed linen would make a major difference. We found a vacuum and broom to tidy ourselves but no vac charger. Hosts lovely and easy to communicate with. Thanks for the stay."
