Clean and neat.. close to beach

We had a short but lovely stay in this batch. Really appreciated the closeness to the cafes, beach, pool and everything. No need to use the car, everything was literally 5 - 10 mins walk away. The skater park next to the house was a great addition to keep the kids busy given the skateboards and scooters were already stacked in the garage for use. I really admired the amount of books they've got, a bliss for a bookworm. Nice furnishings and kitchenware. And thanks for the home baked cookies, yum. We'll be back.
