Donât waste your money! We arrived on the Saturday and within an hour the kitchen door came away from two of its hinges. We fixed this after the caretaker advised on the location of a screwdriver, it came away the next day! Sat down for board games at the dining table only for the dining chair to collapse with me. All seats were also stained. Sunday my partner wanted a shower only to find the en-suite shower doesnât work. Went to main bathroom and the temperature dial was so stiff I had to use a towel to get it to an acceptable temperature for all the family to use. The children went to use the hot tub and it wasnât filled up enough so we had to fill it up and then wait for it to heat up. The dishwasher was a third full with dirty dishes. The sofa had a large rip on the cushion. Lamp didnât work in one of the bedrooms. Main bedroom mattress was so uncomfortable that I chose to sleep on the floor, it was stained and too thin to provide any support. The garden furniture was beyond filthy and too dirty to even be used. We reported all complaints and the landlord advised someone would be with us the next day, no one showed up. Maintenance showed up Wednesday and couldnât fix the shower as it needed parts, advised we couldnât use the hot tub as it was out of chemicals and there were no more to provide. This makes me conclude that the hot tub wasnât serviced. Maintenance arrived the following day to clean the garden furniture but didnât bring any hot tub chemicals. We had three days where we couldnât use the hot tub. We booked a 5 bedroom and 3 bathroom property for my daughterâs 18th birthday and were are very disappointed with the rental accommodation. Dear owner I believe a full refund is warranted!

However, it was not clean. My son and and his girlfriend hoovered before we arrived so that we wouldn't be disappointed, but it needs a thorough clean. There were dirty dishes in the cupboards - presumably the dishwasher hadn't quite cleaned them and they had been removed in bulk and not checked. We couldn't use the shower in the family bathroom because it was leaking through the doorframe in the kitchen. The maintenance man came to have a look the next day after I had let the owner know and I showed him where it was leaking - he said that had been reported 6 months ago, but he hadn't found anything and it hadn't been reported since so it must be something that is moving. He also said that he couldn't fix the problem while we were there as the job was too big. The shower tray in the downstairs bathroom is not on a firm base and dips when you stand in it. I am sorry to give this review because the owner responded to questions appropriately and arranged for the maintenance man to come etc, but the standard of cleanliness and upkeep of the house, I feel, is not up to standard.

We were a three generational group. There was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the stay. The house was very comfortable with a good range of spaces, all a good size. I particularly appreciated the dishwasher. And other members of the group enjoyed the hot tub. The house was well situated for visits to local beaches and places of interest. We would definitely consider booking it again for a similar holiday.
