Property doesn’t have a view of the sea except from the entrance. But is only a few metres from the beach. Property is a bit dated but clean and comfortable.

The place was a disgrace, the smell was terrible and we moved out after 1 night. Not happy
Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jan, 2026
Not sure what the smell was there was nothing the day before & nothing the day after when I visited although another owner said they had an issue with a drains blockage? We had a new cleaner for this stay & I went to view the day after when empty . There was a small piece of a broken plate under the edge of the fridge 2 brown marks in the bathroom sink which where done by a previous tenant by stubbing out a cigarette & a brown dye stain on the washing machine again done by a previous tenant when doing their washing ....neither of which I can remove & had no other issues from anyone else

Cute place

Small unit with all one needs. Partial sea views from main door and bedroom. It’s on the corner of two main roads so can be a bit noisy on weekends when people are going to beach. Enjoyed our stay.

Hi Kelsey can you advise on the cleaning as we pay a fair sum for that service so I can go back to them
