Sharon
Great location, great kitchen. Plenty of space for groups
Ashly Warner
We loved our stay here! Close to the beach and it was great for the kids to do boogie boarding and surfing. The house was great and had everything we needed, kitchen was lovely and big, and the playground was a hit. The two decks were super handy and we enjoyed dinner on the back deck most nights. Fans in every room and plenty of breeze through the house meant it was a good temperature the whole time. We would happily go back. Thank you.
