Ocean view and beach

Great view of the ocean, beach access just across the lawn, in a peaceful, quiet surrounding with privacy. The studio is smallish but has the essentials, and its terrace is a very nice place to spend time on. The owners are kind, helpful and pleasant to communicate to. Highly recommended for couples who want to unwind on beach outside town, yet not far away from shops/restaurants.

Petite unit on the side of a home, with all you need. Very cosy with a well equipped kitchenette. Ideal for short stays. Surprisingly private and opens out onto own deck, and no houses in front to spoil the view.
