It was very easy to get to all of the parks, outlet shopping malls and the seafront. Local restaurants are great. Minimal outside noise.
The large pool really made our stay.
The house was a bit smaller than we expected. There is a great queen bedroom with walk-in robe, and two much smaller rooms (1 dbl bed, 1 with 2 singles), and all 3 bedrooms share 1 bathroom/toilet on the main level. The 2nd shower/toilet is downstairs off a strange room that must be bedroom 4 but didn’t have a bed set up. Still, if it’d just been parents/kids then we wouldn’t have even gone down there.
I was also a bit meh about the living area as the lovely big windows have very imposing diamond security screens that made it feel very enclosed but I’m a bit claustrophobic so maybe it was just me. Lovely veranda with outside seating. The gardens are immaculate.
The kitchen really has everything you could possibly need.
I think the gutters might need a clean out, or the aircon is on the roof. There was a constant drip of water from the gutter onto the front veranda. Someone before us had moved a pot plant under but it didn’t stop it. But I didn’t mention it to the owner so I can’t really moan. It’s also quite a noisy house to walk around but that may only be because I have a 6yo with the grace of an elephant.
Still it should be said that the house was cheaper than a lot of comparable properties, nothing was a deal-breaker and we had a really good holiday.
