    Ideally located, spacious, fully equipped house in beautiful Scarborough, with a pool!

    Nothing! Could have stayed longer...

    The location is excellent. The beach is a short walk away, and the shops are also within easy walking distance. There's limited views because you are at sea level. The house could easily accommodate two families - there are two main bedrooms and a central room off the passage with four beds suitable for kids. Note there is no door on this "kids" room. The kitchen is well equipped and they supply beach towels - which is a bonus. Darts and table tennis were great, as was the small pool. Spacious, clean and comfortable and we felt very safe, I have no hesitation in recommending this spot in beautiful Scarborough

    This fully equipped house is close to the beach. We we a group of 6 and there were more than enough space for everybody. The table tennis was great and we enjoyed the outside entertainment area. This peaceful town was amazing.

    I think some block out blinds in the front room would be great. You can't have the light on at night and get changed. Also an upgrade on knives to chop with.

    Loved the location and the layout. As well as the option to sit in the courtyard or the front for meals depending on the weather.

    Only comment is that the darts and table-tennis bats need to be replaced as these are broken (which is a shame as these are great activities).

    Decor, facilities (pool area, outdoor tables, comfortable outdoor seating, braai), location (very close to the beach), comfortable beds, spacious, different areas to relax, tv room, games and books, fresh towels (including beach towels)

    The trees in the front of the house and opposite neighbours should be trimmed to allow for a better view of the sea.

    The house was clean, spacious and had all the necessary appliances. The game area was a hit as well as the splash pool. The partial sea views and the short distance to the beach was also a bonus. The area itself is serene, quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

    We lived in Scarborough 20 years ago and have now come "home" full of anticipation. The village and the beach were, as always, indescribably beautiful but still relatively untouched. The house was an incredible recreation of the Scarborough flair we knew and loved. We will be back!

    the temperature setting on the oven was not quite clear / faded.

    The house is beautifully furnished, and tip top organized. Comfortable beds, pristine linen and towels, a homey feel and very clean. The whole set up of the house gives everyone enough privacy when needed, and yet come together in spacious surroundings when wanted. There are two large outside areas and we used them both. The morning porch and the evening get together with bbq, open fireplace, table tennis table in very good condition. Plenty of seating space all around. There are extra blankets for cooler evenings. The TV room is nicely situated and has a nice decor. The whole decor of the house was beachy / holidayish and comfortable. The showers are walk in and large. The master en suite bathroom is stunning with a large shower and inviting bath tub. I wish our stay was a bit longer to make use of all the house has on offer.

    the externals like the emptying of the sewage whilst on site and the electrical and water issues. These were however communicated and external factors that we could live around. The TV was the only internal issue. We don’t usually need it but it was disruptive to have the swop and then finding it didn’t work in the end.

    location, fire place, table tennis, dart board. The proximity to the ocean and the good communication from Salie.

    The walk-through bedroom is not private and we had to make last minute arrangements for our guests to stay elsewhere. The pool is not safe for young children and should be covered with a net. None of the hosts answered their phones to help us setting the gas oven during the first night, however, one of them did come the next morning to assist.

    I liked the location, overall accommodation good, cleanliness, view of the ocean from the top floor, wifi was good.
