This house is in a very leafy, quiet location within easy walking distance to the beach and a couple of nice restaurants. Manly central is also a comfortable and picturesque walk for many more choices and shopping. The nicest thing about this home is the ambiance with it's great upstairs open layout. The backyard pool area is so peaceful and with the many sounds of birdlife is a real retreat from the maddening crowds of Manly Beach. We had 8 in our party and although comfortable was a little crowded in the sleeping quarters. Up to 6 guests would be ideal. Miriam was incredibly helpful with her local knowledge and very quick to respond to any queries we had. The recent renovations are still a work in progress and once finally completed this home will be a real gem for a relaxing stay right near the beach.
