Overall, it was a clean home that was fully equipped. The home was placed in a quiet area that was clean. However, the bbq machine was dirty and it was of poor quality, and the gas bottle was empty so I had to go buy a gas bottle that did work. Also, the water downstairs for the shower was weak and didn’t flow properly.

Even before we could enjoy the propertly the owner at the last minute cancelled our booking. the money was already debited from my credit card and the owner has to do some last minute repairs to the property and ruined our family holiday.
Great place, lots of space for the family.
No internet however that is noted on the listing. Would come back again.
Prompt response from agent as well.
Very clean, great location with a view.
Overall it is one the best in area. Only one issue, there wasn't enough consumables. One toilet paper, half paper towel, one dishwasher tablet , one tissue are not enough for 8 ppl for 4 days and we had to buy them ourselves.
Excellent house, excellent view, amazing location although there was a bbq advertised and it didn’t work bought a new gas bottle and still couldn’t work it.
