Quick stay.
This was n home away from home for two nights. Everything we needed was just there, and what a view from the balcony where the bbq was. It was a quick walk to the beach and also the main road with all the little shops. Thanks Terry for also making us feel at home, from the day the booking was made. Will definitely see you again.

Two night last minute booking with family
Property was a little expensive for the quality. Having said that, we did book only a week in advance. Check in was delayed due to the previous guests not cleaning up after themselves. Fortunately it was a beautiful day and we headed to the beach to pass time. Terry the property manager was wonderful, accomodating and very knowledgeable. Property could do with a bit of a spruce up downstairs. Location was great.
