A great place to take a break
Maxine's shack is all you could want in a beach stay complete with the sound of crashing surf. By bringing your own linen and leaving the place clean you get a really affordable experience. Can recommend...

About the host

Hosted by Maxine Cavaggion

Host profile image
I am an art teacher and I love gardening and renovating houses.
I enjoy sharing our comfortable beach house with our many lovely guests who seem to enjoy staying and keep coming back.

Why they chose this property

Surfer's Retreat is a very cosy, comfortable beach house.
We manage to keep the rental costs to a minimum by asking guests to provide their own sheets, pillow cases, towels and tea towels. Also, we do not charge a cleaning fee but allow guests to save even more by agreeing to leave the house clean and tidy ready for the next guests.
