Josie and Grant's beach house is one of the best I have rented through Airbnb (and I've rented many). The location is absolutely ideal - a short walk from the Paekakariki train station and shops and directly on the sea. We spent most of our time there watching the ocean from the deck. In addition, the house is very comfortable and well-equipped for short term stays; you can borrow from and add to the very organized pantry and purchase drinks from a well-stocked refrigerator, which makes the transition to vacation very smooth. The hosts responded quickly and satisfactorily to all our queries. All around, an excellent experience.
