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.

Second time here and will be back
This house is a family favourite. Plenty of space, short walk to the beach, and a nicer long walk along the beach to the town centre.
