Our whippet loved the beach!The house is so well appointed for a stay; there was nothing we needed and didn’t find provided. Well done!We were only able to stay for a short 4-night break in July, but are very keen to return again.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very happy with our stay at this lovely home (couple and 1 dog). Plenty of room to have a larger group stay over. Doggy beach nearby and secure back yard for our small dog. Only negatives were the doggy door was very stiff and our dog was unable to use it. Very negative experience with the real estate managing the property-it took many phone calls to get our $500 bond returned. This was very disappointing as we passed the cleaning inspection, having left the home as we would our own. The staff at the real estate agency reception were very pleasant and helpful in all our dealings. It was simply a management issue with the return of our bond. If I was the owners, I would be looking for a new agency to manage your great property.

Delightful home and what a location! Minor gripe would have been handy to know that the home was more well equipped than advertised re: linen, condiments, etc. We only wished we could have stayed longer.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic. The accommodation was perfect for our stay with family and our fur-baby. It was opposite the lead free park and beach - just 30 secs and we were there :). The place had everything you needed, you just needed to bring yourself. Everything was labelled so you knew exactly where to find things and of course return things when you had finished with them. We were also allowed to access the property early - which was fantastic. If you want the perfect stay and not have to worry about a thing - I recommend this place.
