This is a beautiful home, well maintained, perfectly positioned, and the views are amazing. We have stayed in Port Elliot many times, and generally stick close to The Strand, however, this area is a 5 min drive, or a 15min walk, and we found it relatively peaceful and relaxing. Within the home, there is everything you require in regards to kitchen necessities, dining area, entertainment and well appointed bedrooms to accommodate a large family. We traveled with two young children (4yo / 1yo), and although the upstairs can be closed off via a door leading into kitchen, it was nerve wracking keeping tabs of the little ones near the staircase, and as the backyard is not completely fenced off (after being advised it was), there was minimal time we utilized this area, but in saying this, we did spend most of our down time upstairs on balcony, which is completely safe for little ones. Overall, it was a nice experience, so close to the beach when weather permits, and the sunsets were a highlight each day. I would highly recommend this property, there are a lot of rules and regulations set by property management, understandable in this instance to safeguard the rental property, but if you can put this aside and just relax in this welcoming environment, you will enjoy your time with family and friends.
