8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
Property clean and comfortable. Good size rooms.This is not a criticism but advice to future travellers. I am 78 and I was unable to get into the pool as there are no rails to assist. The family reported it was really nice. If you have a car larger than an xtrail it will be difficult as the driveway is quite narrow. The ac in the main bedroom does not work properly and takes forever to cool the room. Also be aware that the shower ( great pressure by the way) is over the spar bath, quite an exercise getting in and out. There is a hand rail to assist for which I was grateful . We were happy with the house and will consider having another holiday there next year.

6 / 10Average·Oct 2019
The Ponderosa is a relaxed easy care house to stay in. Being pet friendly is fantastic, with a secure fence. The house is walking distance from the beach, and the skate park. No dishwasher does make it a little extra work for families, and a better shower and new mattresses would be great. However, as always, we appreciate being able to take our dogs, and to have a pool to swim in for the kids.
