What Our Visitors Say
We had such a great time staying at Beth and Tony’s place. From the moment we arrived, it was clear they’ve put a lot of love and effort into making the space welcoming and comfortable. The house is spacious, spotlessly clean, and filled with natural light. It’s beautifully decorated with stylish furniture, and everything feels high quality.
The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk through a nearby park to the beach. We loved the private garden with a BBQ area, perfect for sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air.
Beth and Tony were amazing hosts—super friendly, quick to respond, and always happy to help. We also really appreciated the thoughtful touches like breakfast supplies, tea, and toiletries—it felt like a home away from home.
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed stay in a beautiful part of town!
