A fantastic, good-sized family home, beautiful equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The owners had thought of everything, even leaving fishing lines for us to use, along with a lovely welcome package, which was a very thoughtful touch. The home has fantastic views across the surrounding farmers fields and out towards the ocean. It is finished to a very high standard and provided everything we could have wished for during our stay. A truly wonderful home that is definitely worth every penny. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.
