We are a group of 4 families and we had a wonderful time at the Ranch .Property has ample space both in and out, close to the popular beaches in the area.Well maintained for its age .Will go back again
Good size property, good location. It does need a little TLC, a good deep clean, and a pest spray as there were lots of spiders. I would stay here again.

Lovely house, inside all recently renovated. Loads of room for a big group, plenty of space around the property. Really easy people to deal with, if you’re looking for peace and quiet we highly recommend it!
My son and his friends stayed at the Ranch for a few days to celebrate his birthday.
Ample space, bbq, fire pit.
Remote stay but central enough to go to the beach, town and see the sights
Communication with the owner Fiona was open and easy and she met the boys to make sure they had everything they needed. She was flexible and accomodating and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this place to everyone!

Clean room, full amenities and ready a lot of bottles water in the fridge.
Fiona, the host is so nice. My in-law forgot her scarf in her room and Fiona texted me and tried to mail to her. But my in-law told Fiona not to do that.
