The shack was wonderful for a nice little get away down. The beach was literally a small walk across the road. I would definitely stay here again. The place was very clean. Smelt of fresh paint and a lot of the things like kitchenware are new. Appreciated the detailed information by the hosts and a pleasant experience. Highly recommend.

Had a fantastic time at the house, its very family friendly, would be great if the decking had fencing for the little ones but overall would definitely stay again. The location is great and a very quiet neighbourhood, only a short walk to a wonderful beach.

Shack by the Sea Middleton
The most lovely and quirky cottage filled with warmth and creature comforts. So close to the beach and excellent value. We will definitely be coming back.

Family beach shack
To be honest, we were quite disappointed when we arrived. We were expecting something more comfortable. There is no proper indoor lounge area where you can spread out and relax. The queen size beds are too big for the rooms they are in. It felt pokey and cluttered with family books, magazines and games. That said, it was very clean. The hot water was excellent, the bed we used was comfortable, and all the basic amenities worked well. The washing machine was easy to use. The position is great, being so close to the beach.

Middleton with family
Property was clean, nice touch with Xmas tree, no WiFi unfortunately. It would have been nice to know about having to hire sheets and towels otherwise it suited our needs for the visit.
