We arrived and were immediately amazed by not just the scenery but the home itself. Such quick and easy access to the beac and beautiful expansive views. We had a family of 11 and every single person rated this holiday a 10/10. The house provided everything we needed and plenty of space for everyone. Outdoor shower was a hit after the beach especially it having warm water. Hosts were lovely and very quick to answer any questions. Cant rate this place enough!!!

A fabulous holiday, an absolutely wonderful place to stay. The access to the beach, the beach itself. The magnificent windows to the view & the house had pretty much all you could need aside from a bit more outside furniture choice. Neil’s has been a great host & we would highly recommend this home to everyone. Thank you.

Magic spot for girls weekend. Well equipped and easy. We will stay again , for sure.Two suggestions, outdoor furniture, we couldn’t find any. Also spare blankets in every wardrobe for us winter beach lovers and maybe a couple of arm chairs. The couches are designed for young backs .Probably the best equipped beach house we have rented.
