Great location, lovely place
We loved the location of this cute cottage! It was a couple blocks from the beach, quiet neighborhood, lovely space for a family. The decor in the house was very tonal and classic. Beds were comfy, soft linens. Washer and dryer access was great, lovely spot. Only issue was checkin, but the owner responded when I contacted her directly. Turns out she didn’t get the information she needed to reach out to us (hence the 4 stars, but that’s the platform, not the owner) But she responded when we reached and all was well!

Wonderful beach stay!
This property is beautiful, super spacious and complete with everything you could need for a family holiday. The photos on the listing don’t do the property justice. The house is really lovely, and so much bigger than we thought. We had a wonderful time. Very short walk to the beach, shops and playground. Highly recommend for family with young kids.

Smiths Beach Getaway
Location, house and garden are all good. We had difficulties operating heating in kitchen dining area. Split system is not working and more explicit instructions for space heater required. Unfortunately the host contacted us by email about damage to the carpet in one room which we certainly had not caused. This has soured our experience.

Beautiful house in an ideal location
Our family of 6 enjoyed two nights in this lovely property and are keen to return again, for longer. The house is beautifully presented (the photos do not do it justice) and I was so impressed with how clean every thing was, we had one saucepan that required washing before use (and even then, I was probably being overly picky- I have a child with food allergies so have to be extra cautious) everything else was sparkling clean. The host has clearly put a lot of thought not only into decorating this house, but also in ensuring that her guests enjoy a very comfortable stay. We really appreciated all of the little touches such as coffee pods for the coffee machine, quality linen/ bedding, comfortable and supportive mattresses, every kitchen utensil you could possibly want or need, and having throw blankets in all of the living areas for the colder evenings. The kids loved all of the toys and books, and the bedding configuration worked really well for us. Backyard is fully secure and pet friendly, the beach is only an easy five minute stroll down the road, the Smiths Beach general store is just around the corner. The location is fantastic. Our only disappointment was that there was no firewood provided for the woodheater, but the electric heaters were sufficient in keeping the house nice and warm. We would not hesitate to recommend this house to others and would love to return one day.
