Just what we needed
A week of groundhog days…. Waking up to the beach, surfers, seals…. Beach walks with the dogs, neighbour hood walks, starry nights, puzzles and books. Our fifth visit was wonderful, hopefully stay number 6 isn’t too far away. Love it!

We have stayed in this property on a few occasions due to the location and proximity to the beach. It is one of the older 'shacks' but good to see that the property was clean and everything was functioning including a new TV.

Needs some TLC
Just over 12 months ago we stayed here and suggested that some simple elbow grease and care would help this house that is situated in a perfect position. This time the toilet seat had been fixed - that was the only thing. All doors out onto the balcony (where the view is tremendous) are difficult to open, there was mould in the bathroom sink (and a bottle of bleach under the sink - clearly nobody knows how to use it). It is such a shame that a venue like this has been allowed to become so run down. We thought we would give it a second chance but I can't see that we will be back. It is a crying shame because we love being there. We don't mind old - hey we are old ourselves - but clean is necessary. This place needs just needs someone to love it.

Great location for us and the dogs. Great views. Great access to safe walking trails along beach .
Property a bit run down. Don't open bedroom sliding door screen , as the screen may fall out on hit you on the head , as it did with my daughter! ( signs of poor attempt to repair it previously) Upstairs toilet seat is all wrong, too small for bowl. Bedroom doors don't shut properly. Windows are in need of cleaning ! Coffee pod machine not working. The kettle wasn't working, however Bev, our host, quickly brought us a new one . All other whitegoods are great! No tea towels provided, No clothes dryer. No bath mats. Pile of hard rubbish at back of house. Rear lawn full of grass seed ( very dangerous for pets). Rear garden hose is useless, couldn't hose down dogs of beach sand and my car! Internet is good, Netflicks is not working as it should though. No sanitizer provided, you would think this mandatory in 2020! Vacuum cleaner blocked! it took for ever to vacuum anything! Overall it is a budget stay, you always get what you pay for!

Needs some TLC
Although the place was clean and tidy, comfortable and warm, attention to detail was sadly lacking. The seat on the upstairs toilet is the wrong size for the pan and was only attached on one side, making it uncomfortable to use. There is no door handle on the sliding door out to the balcony which makes it hard to open. The window in the dining room was difficult to close as the build up of dirt in the runners was excessive. There was no remote control available for the television which should be a given in this day and age. There were finger marks all over the windows as well as dog nose prints. We don't mind as we had our own dogs there too but these should have been removed if cleaning was done thoroughly. One night it was very windy and the front door downstairs, which had a notice not to use - so we didn't - blew open in the wind. Clearly it hadn't been closed properly either by the cleaning person or the previous people who hired the house. This is dangerous on many levels. Don't get me wrong, we loved our stay but the house needs some general maintenance to make it so much better.

We all very much enjoyed our long weekend getaway. Walking 30 seconds to the beach... relaxing in the evening with a glass of wine on the beach waiting for the sun to go down was amazing.
