"An outstanding property. 10 out of 10 for everything - location, cleanliness and communication. The host had thought of everything to make the property feel like a home away from home. The well stocked kitchen made eating in easy and the front verandah with the oven view was a great place to enjoy a coffee."

"We loved our stay. The villa was clean and welcoming. It was nice and close to the beach which was awesome.I loved that it was pet friendly. We didn't have our little dog with us however it's nice to know she was welcome!Nicole was communicating with us to make sure everything was ok.One suggestion would be to get a steamer for veggies, a can opener and a baking pan.We burrowed some from a friend.Thank you for making us feel welcome."
