Excellent in any weather

Really enjoyed our stay, getting about in the region, exploring the beach, or snuggling in on a stormy day. Found everything we needed, and had a very comfortable stay. Well worth it.

Peaceful paradise

This is a real hidden gem. If you want to really get away from the modern world with someone special and fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves this is the place for you. The location is simply stunning and the property is cozy, comfortable and nicely decorated. Has all the facilities you could need and Andrea is a wonderful host. She went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay special. Highly recommended.

The crib is perfect. Really thoughtfully put together interior gave it such a wow feeling. The ocean is so close. Bon fire in the twilight on the beach. 20 steps from your door was magic. Ill try and stay again loved it so much.
