Perfect location on the beach and very close to the lighthouse. We loved the sunny window seat! No WiFi but there's a good selection of dvds and some board games. I'd happily stay here again.

Fantastic position and beautiful views, couldn't ask for better. We had a great time here, some maintenance issues that affected us such as the badly maintained drive that broke the bracket under the exhaust of our car but if we ignored these then it was a very relaxing holiday. You won't be disappointed by this lovely little house.

Perfect Location right above the beautiful beach, stunning views and easy access. We didn't see or read that you need your own Linen but got it sorted. Anna is very helpful and Her Batch is comfortable and well set up.

Fantastic location! Anna was wonderful to deal with, and her father was awesome to talk to. I missed it on the listing that you supply your own linens, for a fee Anna provided. I really enjoyed the location but there were a couple of things that probably need to be addressed. One of the window latches were broken off. Burn marks on the counter and generally needs an update. From my experience with a vrbo, bathroom incidentals such as shampoo, conditioner and shower soap are provided. Will still recommend staying here and will probably go back myself but better prepared maybe.

I love this wee bach for the views and the closeness to the beach. One time coming down the lighthouse path I saw a stingray swimming along, this morning there was a wee seal on the beach! Unexpected gifts ! I like I can take my dog, he loves it but makes me go for more walks than I intend to. The community is always friendly, dogs all seem to be off leash, so they're all friendly as well. The house was nice and clean and communication with Anna was easy. I've introduced a couple of friends to this place this weekend and I know they plan to go back. They arrived before me and when they drove in they said their reaction was a bit flat.......until they went around the beach side! They absolutely loved the whole place, the cuteness of the bach, the views and the lighthouse changing colours at night. Thank you for allowing us to stay. We'll be back!
