Very easy to find. Great location. Only reason for 4 stars in stead of 5 was the need for a few more towels for showers. A 3 bedroom that can sleep 6 needs more than 2 towels for showers.

Liked: Cleanliness
The house was clean, spacious and comfortable for a family trip. Excellent location within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops, yet it is located on a dead-end street, very quiet and relaxed setting.
