A wonderful beach home, made extra special by the thoughtful touches by the host.
The house itself exceeded our expectations, located on a friendly, quiet residential street, within walking distance of the small town and beach. There is ample parking for vehicles on the driveway. The house was spotless on arrival and is finished to a high specification, with modern fitted kitchen, impressive oven with integral griddle on the hob, large fridge, full range of cups/glasses/plates etc... The living area feels roomy and our eldest daughter used the large double sofa bed in the lounge area. It was spacious and comfortable for her. Both bedrooms had a comfortable double bed and storage space for hanging clothes/folding clothes. A large washing machine and dryer were located just outside the kitchen door.
The garden contained a large shelving unit with everything required for a full beach day...surf board, body boards, chairs, umbrella, beach bag and buckets & spades. No need to bring anything. 2 bikes were available for use in the garden, along with games and a hammock.
Colm provides an extensive welcome pack which offers information on local amenities, restaurants and beaches, as well as information about how to operate appliances within the home. The local parking pass to state beaches also saved us around $40 in parking.
Close to Santa Cruz, I would recommend this property without hesitation.
Hope to revisit one day.
