I had an incredible stay at this Airbnb! The location is simply unbeatable—just a stone’s throw from the beach, making morning strolls and sunset views effortlessly accessible.

Paw Prints

TamerynRating, 5 stars1 month ago

My partner and I had such a wonderful stay at Paw Prints! This charming little cottage had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. We spent our anniversary and my birthday here, and it was the perfect peaceful escape. The location couldn’t be better—nestled between the bush and the beach, with beautiful walking paths and just a short stroll from the shore. Hanna was an amazing host—warm, welcoming, and attentive. She even offered us a late checkout, which was so appreciated and made our special stay even more relaxing. We also loved her adorable pets next door, especially the friendly cat who would visit us for head scratches. 10/10—We’d absolutely love to return. Such value for money and the perfect nature-filled getaway to unwind and celebrate.
