Nice home with everything we needed, including a great backyard for the kids and dog to explore. Only a couple of minutes walk from an amazing dog friendly beach.

The house is very well presented with a functional floor plan that maintains privacy for the bedrooms and also includes two bathrooms. The kitchen is modern and had everything we needed. The backyard is a masterpiece! The landscaped gardens make you feel relaxed as soon as you see them, plus it’s a quiet location and you can walk to the beach!

Overall we were very happy with the property for our girls weekend away. Our only negative is that we didn’t utilise the back garden because the outdoor furniture was covered in spider webs. A good clean and spruce up of these would be appreciated I’m sure for future guests. Thankfully the front patio was great, we loved sitting out there and listening to the waves. Very close to shops, lake and the pub. Lago Cucina restaurant above the pub was amazing!

Fabulous!! It is what you would expect of a beach house - and then some (clean; aircon; ceiling fans; perfect sunroom for art; quiet; not too big - not too small and just a skip to the beach). We had our pooch with us and the secure yard was such a blessing! Phil - thank you!

We enjoyed our stay. The easy access to the beach was what we were looking for and it was as described. The house was clean and cozy. We enjoyed cooking on the outdoor grill. Apparently I had not read the description close enough as it was a shocker to arrive and see no sheets on the beds. There was only one garbage in the whole place, which was in the kitchen. There were no garbages in the bathrooms which is really inconvenient. There are also no closets or anywhere to hang clothes or coats.

This was our first Stayz holiday and definitely not our last if this experience can be repeated. Out the front door, turn right, walk 50 metres, turn left, walk the path over the dune and there you are on the beach. This property is excellent for our needs. Our 4Kg Toy Poodle absolutely loved the yard, plenty to explore and totally safe. Only one problem, we should have stayed longer. Thanks Philip.
