Great stay, loved how close the property was to the beach. Parking was really easy being right next to it. The unit was comfortable and tidy. Could do with a few more pots, and the blinds cleaning in the main bedroom as there is mould on the inside. Overall great stay, would come back again

What a lovely place. Right on the most gorgeous beach. Unfortunately we were there in a storm but were cosy, cosy, cosy inside the beautifully appointed and decorated unit. Was such a gorgeous property - would have loved to have stayed longer. Very handy having kitchen facilities. So stylishly decorated.
