"Very good house for our family of 5, plenty of space and great layout. We would stay again. The only thing we found slightly problematic was the fan right above the bunk bed steps in the kids bedroom ..."

This is a really nice property with plenty of room for a family. We would have liked to stay longer.Our only problem was that linen wasn’t included, and while in retrospect this was stated on the confirmatory email it was way down the bottom. It also wasn’t obvious on the booking listing. It was an unpleasant surprise to arrive late on a Friday and have no sheets or towels.

Stay was just as advertised. Only hiccup was getting the keys, we were told in the instructions a code to a lock box would be sent on the day of the arrival. However when we got to the house we had still not received an email. We instead had to drive to the O’Brien office. Luckily we just made it within open business hours as I’m not sure how they would have been able to solve that.

We had a great stay on highland ave. Fantastic location, close to the beach, lots of great books, puzzles etc for the kids to do. I found the main bedroom mattress to be pretty lumpy and uncomfortable, but otherwise the house was fantastic.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2021
We enjoyed our stay despite the fact that we found upon our arrival that the house had not been cleaned between guests. Floors not swept or vacuumed, Bathrooms filthy, left over old opened food in fridge. Toddlers found Contraceptive pills and a smoke vaporizer between the cushions of the couch. We left it much cleaner than we found it.
