Beach and pool

Is the pool private, and where is it?

Guests have access to one shared community pool, roughly halfway between the townhouse and the beach access. It is a short walk from the home, rather than a pool in its garden. Access does not include every neighbouring resort pool.

Is the pool heated?

Yes, Anthony has confirmed that the community pool is heated. Check with him for current pool hours and any maintenance closures before your stay.

How far is the beach, and do we need to cross a main road?

Crescent Beach is approximately a four- to five-minute walk away, depending on your pace. The route follows the private road to the community’s beach access without crossing the main road. The home is near the beach, rather than directly on the beachfront. Community beach access does not mean there is a roped-off beach area reserved solely for the townhouse.

What beach equipment is provided?

Beach chairs, wagons, beach toys and pool towels are provided. An umbrella has also been supplied. Please check with Anthony if a particular item is essential for your trip, as equipment can change. Any beach chair or umbrella hire service is a separate arrangement.

The townhouse

How many people can stay, and how are the beds arranged?

The home accommodates up to eight guests, with four beds and three bathrooms across three levels. The lower-level suite has a queen bed, a small kitchen, living space and a bathroom. The main level has a king bedroom and bathroom, alongside the main kitchen and living areas. The upper loft has two queen beds and a bathroom. The bedroom sofa is not a sofa bed.

Are there stairs?

Yes. The accommodation is arranged across three levels, with stairs between them. If stairs or the sleeping arrangement could affect your stay, discuss your needs with Anthony before booking.

Is there a washer and dryer?

Yes. A combined washer-dryer is available in the garage. Bath towels, pool towels and hair dryers are also provided.

Is parking available for more than one vehicle?

There is a garage and parking in front of the townhouse. Space depends on the size and number of vehicles. Please send Anthony those details before booking if you are bringing several vehicles, a large SUV or a golf cart; additional spaces should not be assumed.

Do you provide a crib, travel cot or high chair?

These items are not guaranteed as standard equipment. Anthony can suggest a local baby-equipment rental company. Stair gates have been provided, but please confirm the equipment you need before travelling and check that it suits your child.

Booking and arrival

What are the check-in and checkout times? Can we arrive early?

The current Airbnb listing shows check-in after 2pm and checkout before 10am. Always follow the times in your own booking confirmation. Early check-in or later checkout may be possible, depending on other bookings and cleaning, but requires Anthony’s confirmation in advance.

Can we book a shorter stay or change our dates?

Minimum stays, prices and availability depend on the dates and booking platform. If your preferred stay cannot be selected, ask Anthony before making travel arrangements. A question or enquiry does not reserve the dates; check that your booking is confirmed.

Are pets, smoking or parties allowed?

The current house rules do not allow pets, smoking, parties or events. Review the full rules on your chosen booking platform before booking and contact Anthony about any specific requirements.

What is the cancellation policy?

Check the cancellation terms displayed for your dates on the booking platform before paying. Terms can differ by stay and platform; an arrangement made for another guest does not apply automatically to your booking.

What should we do before checking out?

Follow the departure instructions sent for your stay. The current instructions include gathering used towels, separating pool towels from bath towels, bagging rubbish, emptying food from the fridge and freezer, and loading and running the dishwasher. Turn things off and lock up as instructed. Unopened, sealed drinks may be left.

Who should we contact if something is not working?

Message Anthony through your booking platform or use the host contact details in your welcome information so he can help. Please report problems promptly during your stay.
