Great house in a great location
Well apportioned house with two living areas, lots of beds and good amenities (wifi, two large TVs with small TV in master, DVD/streaming device, table tennis table, and bluetooth stereo that connects to your device), large deck, well equipped kitchen and nice outdoor area/BBQ etc. In a great location with easy walk to beach.
There were some minor maintenance issues which have been relayed separately to the owners.
Overall, a great property for the family which we intend to come back to for another beach holiday.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Would not recommend
*The BBQ had Mouse feces all over it which i had to clean and disinfect before use.
* The downstairs bathroom had no lights as the globes were all blown, I had to replace 1 globe myself so we could use the room and the drain was blocked causing the bath and toilet to drain very slowly. It was also emitting and foul odour
* The managing agent was hard to deal with and very demanding. We were treated like we were criminals renting the house
* It was a pet friendly house but there was no provision on site to clean up after my dog
* The furniture was great aesthetically but not practical and very uncomfortable
* there was a lovely table tennis table to use however all the bats were in bad order, some of them unusable
*The technology in the house was dated and needs to be updated to enable streaming services to be watched
All in all this place is a rip off and they either need to improve the facility or lower the price substantially!
