While Fiona is an excellent communicator, I feel there was quite a lot of confusion over the price of the rent as the listing ostensibly was in Aus dollars but when I went to book, suddenly it was in US dollars. I tried to sort this out with Fiona- who tried to offer me a special rate which wasn't possible apparently. There was a lot of to-ing and fro- ing, and eventually I booked, but it left me uneasy as the added costs really mounted up. Fiona did re-reimburse some of the money which I was grateful for.
The house is comfortable and private, but it is right on the main road and so very noisy. The beach is a very short walk away, which is nice.
There is also no wi-fi which is unusual for a house that cost so much. There is no problem accessing the network, so it seems odd that Fiona has not provided wi-fi as part of the package.
There are however, lots of very good classic DVDs and a very fine library, with lots of sea themed classics. The beds also are comfortable. We had no hot water for a day as it turns out ants had infested the service. This was fixed very quickly once the plumber was called.
All up it was a pleasant enough place to stay, despite the complications.
