The house we rented for two weeks in Ramsgate was named Sausalito - I found it on a small internet site called Homes Direct. After living on hospital ships in West Africa for most of the last 7 years the family found Sausalito spacious, luxurious and equipped with everything needed. The TV sets actually played live TV programmes (not just videos and DVDs like on the ship) and the kids particularly enjoyed watching Disney Channel. The garden was great for water pistol fights (if you don't mind snakes) and the braii on the balcony was used most evenings to cook delicious South African steaks, fish and marshmallows. But best of all, Sausalito was only two minutes walk down a private footpath to the beaches of the Indian Ocean. Many hours were spent trying to surf in the fierce waves, messing about in rock pools and on a big rubber ring, digging holes and trenches trying to block or divert a small river which ran into the sea nearby. Sometimes the adults just sat on the beach reading, snoozing or enjoying sandwiches and a bottle of Castle beer. It was a hard life!
