Stunning spot, well set up house
Lorraine was amazing with her communication, which was a great start to our weekend. Everything was as expected, clean, well set up & with a gorgeous view. We loved the proximity to the beach & how quiet the road is. The kitchen has everything you'd need to make gourmet food, and we did! Highly recommend this place

Best Water Views
We have stayed in many holiday homes, but have never come across such lovely hosts who went over board to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed. Their home and grounds were spotless and most of all the view of the water/beach was amazing. We will return in summer, can't wait!
