A hidden oasis!
This little beach shack is situated in a hidden oasis! There is no amount of money that can be spent for the view, the serenity and the peacefulness. The shack is a little dated but has all the amenities a family or single traveler could want. There is some water damage throughout the property, some mold issue's within one of the bathrooms, and the carpets and walls could do with a deep clean, but you can't fault this property otherwise. Well done, and thank you for sharing this little piece of paradise! Sending you peace and wellness always.

Island Beach
What a perfect location! Amazing views, clean and comfortable accommodation. The only thing that would have made the stay better is more comfortable seating in the lounge and perhaps a pod coffee machine. Would definitely rebook this property.

You pay for what you get.
Please note our assessment is meant with no malice or disrespect in mind and is assessed against the experiences I have had with all Stayz properties I/we have used. Whilst the property is in a nice location we were extremely disappointed to be met by an army of millipedes creeping across the floor and the walls. After sweeping them them off and out on the balcony, we thought this would be the end. No it was a ritual we had to repeat each morning and evening. It is quite possible the property should be treated with a long acting surface spray or fumigated. I our opinion the property furnishings are old and tired (we found the main bed uncomfortable) and this should be address by considering a serious update of the amenities. I note this may not be an option for a destination which has limited tourist opportunities and demand. At best it is a basic holiday shack and not something we would not like to experience in the future.
