Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: To describe romance, I honestly can’t think of anything more fitting than this house. It’s a pity that these kinds of beach houses are becoming rarer and rarer, replaced by unattractive concrete buildings along the waterfront. Perhaps places like this should be protected as heritage to preserve their character and spirit.My sincere thanks to the owner for allowing me to experience this.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The shack is gorgeous. It has all the creature comforts whilst maintaining the essence of a shack. It's just amazing to fall asleep and wake up to the lapping of the water and total serenity. One small suggestion it would be great if the property had a hair-dryer.

we had a lovely relaxing few days ,very enjoyable. we did however have shoes stolen off the back porch so really need to lock all valuables inside and when we left we contacted the property manager to let them know we left our ghd straightener on the hat rings in the bedroom and have not heard back from them if it was located so this was disappointing but the property and house amazing
