Great Beach Stay

The Beach house is great if you just want to come and sit by the beach. You need to take food and drink as there are no shops close by.

Perfect family beachy holiday house

What a fabulous destination! What a fabulous house! What a fabulous view! Chris was so easy to communicate with. House was clean, spacious and homely. I would highly recommend this place for a summer vacation but even right in the heart of winter there is nothing I can fault. Thank you for the heads up in regard to the southern lights Chris and thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous home. Will be back again some day with a better camera! Cheers Lauri

Nice place to stay but a bit tired and needs some work to be done

Though we enjoyed this property it is tired and needs some TLC. These were the specific things we noticed. 1. The cleaning spray under the sink was empty. We did find a bottle.in the cupboard later but it would have been good if that was full given COVID. 2. It would be great if there were a few more wine glasses. There is only one wine glass, the rest are for bubbles 3. Couple of very large spider webs hanging from the large tree in the backyard with two nasty looking spiders in them. It would be nice if these were removed. 4. Some BBQ tongs and something to use to clean the BBQ would also be handy

Wonderful property, clean, inviting and perfect for families

What a wonderful weekend we’ve had at the Beach escape! Perfect location, the house had everything we could have asked for and more. It was spotlessly clean and a lovely place to relax. Lots to entertain the kids and adults! Hopefully we’ll be back!
