The house was beautiful and the location amazing. The owner was lovely to deal with and responsive to messages. It is right on the beach. The beach walk was better than expected, especially towards Maloneys Beach. A great place to stay all year round.

Everything was magic! The house was better than we expected and the location and facilities were exceptional. Only negative was the cleaner turned up 30mins prior to check out time and it would have been great to have fitted sheets and bath towels. Everything else was 5 star and we left feeling relaxed and reset ready to start another week. The whole family loved our short stay.

The house was spotlessly clean and in wonderful condition. We have been staying in different houses in Long Beach for two weeks a year for the past 26 years and this was the most well-kept house we've stayed in. The location is fabulous and is just at the right part of the beach.

Beach vibes all around. Love the proximity to the beach and glad we had 1 hot day so the kids got to experience having a dip in the water and playing in the sand. The cottage itself is beautifully renovated and lovingly well-maintained. We appreciate the opportunity to stay in the property.
I remembered my Mom - she had the same sewing machine.
Fire pit at the back is perfect for roasting marshmallows while listening to the waves.
We also enjoyed the grill!
