We enjoyed our stay at The Beach Cottage. We initially had planned for 10 of our family members to stay however some unforeseen issues occurred and just the 5 of us stayed. The property owner reached out and let me know the property was ready for an earlier check in, which I appreciated, thanks Donna.
The home is well set out, and having young children, I appreciated having the fence around the home to enclose the yard. We had one visitor we nicknamed "Stumpy" (a goanna with not much of a tail).
There are plenty of rules around the home that clearly outline expectations of guests (e.g. don't leave rubbish to attract Stumpy and his friends) and how to use amenities (such as dishwasher, power, gas stove etc).
We stayed during winter so didn't make much use of the outside screened area though this would be most beneficial for a larger group in warmer weather (our days were spent exploring the beautiful island).
The home is well thought out, having a shower in from the driveway to wash off the unavoidable sand from feet is a great idea. A clothesline in the screened sunroom is a good idea so that clothes don't become wet if there is a shower at the cottage whilst out exploring. There is also an outside bathroom.... though we didn't use this, it would be beneficial when a larger group is staying.
There are cleaning products and brooms, dustpan, mop etc to maintain cleanliness during the stay and to use for departure cleaning.
We appreciated the comfy new mattresses-thank you.
