Loved our stay here - the apartment was perfect for us, we had plenty of space and the character was fab. Being so close to the beach, great cafes and restaurants was incredible and the parking space is fantastic in a busy seaside area.

Lovely beachside unit

We stayed in the Sand Dune unit. Lovely unit on beach front. Not at all noisy though you can slightly hear the neighbouring unit. Great to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by and enjoy the sound of the surf. Only stayed one night but would have loved to be able to stay longer. Ate dinner and breakfast at the Esplanade restaurant - very authentic Italian food, would highly recommend.

Property had a bizarre bathroom set up. The toilet was in a separate room with no sink to wash one's hands after nature had called. We had to walk over to the opposite side of the apartment to a different room that had a shower and sink in it. This was very inconvenient and obviously not very sanitary. Apartment was cold and took quite a while to heat up. Luckily we are used to heat pumps so we understood this. Parking is only good for a smaller car. Our rental fit in without issue (Ford Puma) but larger cars could be a problem. There is a small parking lot next door but the spaces are pretty narrow and the lot is often full.

There was no communication about how to get into property. Fortunately I was with my daughter who lives here and who contacted the person running the apartments and got the code for the key box. This would have been stressful if I’d been on my own after travelling night and day from the UK. Apart from this glitch it was a lovely place to stay
