Nice location, however ongoing construction works along the esplanade meant the nice outlook was obscured by fencing and signage with restricted and limited access to the beach and esplanade footpath. We would have booked somewhere else if this was known as this was the main reason for going there. No guide or instructions on how to use TV, heating (cold house) appliances etc, was a bit frustrating. Pet friendly but no sheltered/dry area outside to stay out of the rain. House was neat and tidy but some areas not well cleaned since last guests. No towels in one of the bedrooms. Was advertised with having kids books and toys but nothing there other than a couple of games. Were asked to strip the beds before we left, not sure if this is standard with these house rentals as it was the first time we have done this but seemed a bit odd given the price paid to stay there. Beach House Cafe and Whalers Dining close by, both very good.
