Idlewild was exactly what we were wanting for our family get away. Entering from the road onto the meandering tree lined driveway gives a hint of how special the location is & the view of the beach & ocean as you walk up the stairs into the living room is breathtaking! The house was exactly the 70’s shack we were dreaming of with all the quirky decor items adding authenticity without being pretentious. The house was warm & comfortable, had all the mod cons (dishwasher, bluetooth sound system, a range of pay tv channels), super comfortable beds, huge cosy lounges & modern bathroom & kitchen. Awesome old books, nature guides & binoculars helped to appreciate the surrounds but the time spent together playing board games in front of the roaring wood fire listening to retro tunes & the sound of the surf lulling us to sleep was what made it for us. Communication with Amelia was easy & helpful 😊
