Fantastic location and outlook

The outlook over the water is amazing. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner on the terrace one evening with the brand new bbq and spare tables and chairs kept in the garage. The only negative I have is that there is only one split-system a/c in the living room and it doesnt reach to the 2 back bedrooms which get very hot in summer.

Nice little getaway

Easy booking in, only thing was we didn’t know there were stairs to some beds and we had a person who can’t get up or down more than one step but we improvised, would have been helpful if the description, but a beautiful spot and would go back again

Great house and location

We loved the house and its location. It was a pleasure to stay in. Inevitably rental properties, especially near the sea, undergo wear and tear, and agents need to check supplies of essential equipment and that all things are working properly. We needed to purchase a few things ourselves, but we have rebooked for later in the year.

Fantastic ocean views

Fantastic views but lack of privacy with people walking along in front of unit. Not fishing friendly for middle aged couple. Great accommodation for the 2 of us for a short stay. Needs a little maintenance on verticals as you can't open right up to see the views but apart from that a very comfy unit.
