Summary: This lovely home is set up with everything you need for a relaxing beach trip. We felt at home straight away. A short walk to both the beach and the local shop. Lovely outlook over rural land out the back and glimpses of water views from the large front deck. Big outdoor table and chairs in the garden and a cute fire pit area. They have thought of everything.
