Beautiful new house in great location

The house was lovely, appeared as new, with everything you would need. It was close to beaches and an easy short drive to town, shops, pool, cafes etc. It had a nice kitchen, outdoor deck open to lovely breeze, big new TV. The owner was easy to contact and talk too. Basically lovely with no problems.
