"My overall assessment of the property was good. Great location walking distance to the beach. My regret was that we couldn't use upstairs i did not realise how many stairs there were to get into the house. The bottom 4 had no rail at all. So was glad we could use the bottom flat which was very comfy.it was very pet friendly although no fences for the bottom flat."
