We stayed at this property in winter. The property was full of light, warm and comfortable. The location was excellent. Walk to the beach and cafes / restaurants. Short drive to a beautiful, off lead dog beach.

Reasonable location, good property. Our dogs could not walk on beach. Disappointing.
Fairly easy process, had some hiccups with receiving email links and we had 2 dogs, only one noted on form. Otherwise pretty good.

Nice place but....
The property was beautifully appointed. Clean and tidy on arrival. But...it is not boat friendly as advertised. Maybe boat friendly for a very small tinny. We had to park ours out the front. This property is managed by a real estate agent so the personal touch from the owner is missing. But a great place to stay otherwise.
