We didn't get to meet Joseph as he isn't in the area, but his communication was quick, friendly and his directions accurate. The Beach House itself is well situated, comfortable and decorated just as one might expect for such a place. The kitchen is older style but well stocked with equipment such that we cooked in every evening (partly because St. Helens didn't have an Indian or Thai takeaway - our favourite cuisines). If you are wishing to just relax then the bay is just 100 m away via the back garden or there are plenty of books, DVDs and even Netfilx in the loungeroom.
Our only complaint was that nearly all the storage space in the bedrooms were already taken up by what I assume were the owner's family's personal holiday wear etc. This meant we spent a week living out of suitcases on the floor.
Overall we enjoyed our week and would stay here again.
