This property was fantastic!
The pool was amazing and the views are gorgeous.
It was a quiet area, plenty of room for the kids and close to all the shops and beaches.
Highly recommend.

Thanks for the great review Christine. We're so happy that you enjoyed the property and all the space. We'd love to have you back!
So location was spot on and the house lay out was good, but pool had heaps of bees around, the bedroom with the bunks is a big issue with the fan right above the kids head which is very dangerous and the steps on the bunk beds are barely stable. The master bedroom we couldnt access the balcony . So it wasnt the best.
