Short Beach Escape

We stayed with our two children (8 & 6) for 4 days who loved being across the road from the beach and had a great time exploring. Very comfortable accommodation with great bay views. The front deck was great to sit and takebinbthe views while the kids played on the lawn. Enough space for a small family and a nice ride / walk to town.

We had a lovely time at this roomy & very comfortable house. It was great to be sitting inside and being able to watch the dolphins jumping out of the water. We will come back again.
