Lovely spot, beautiful views and easy beach access. Very quiet. Very roomy. Plenty of parking. Lacked kitchen utensils and there were no lids for pots. Knowing in advance that there were no grocery shops or dining options would have been nice (I didn't see this at time of booking, but we were told when arriving). Owners were lovely and communitive.

Loved the location, the owners, the shower and the comfy beds!!! Have previously visited this place for a wedding and came back willingly. My only real downfall is that the wifi (which I paid for) dropped in and out quite frequently. Everything else was great

Good location to beach but note, no seaview from apartment 2. Leaking near window when it rains hard. Water tasted weird even after boiling. Water didn’t work on 2/4 of the days we were there.
