Fantastic location, especially well shown off by the brilliant weather we had for a whole week! The house is very comfortable and easily accommodated our multiple couples with small children. Great outdoor space and the waterfront is a real bonus. Great for kayaking, SUP and crabbing for small children (require supervision always!). There are also superb beaches and coves within a short drive. We mostly self-catered but Seaview hotel opposite is good for eating out and Manning's for morning coffee. Highly commended rental.

Marie’s place was by far the best place I’ve ever stayed! It was beautiful, spacious and felt like home. It really exceeded my expectations from the photos I saw beforehand. We had everything we needed and more already there from cooking utensils to books and games. Marie was so accommodating to our needs and quick to respond to any questions we had throughout our stay. We will definitely be back in the future!!
