Great hosts in a great location. We would definitely recommend and stay there again. Everything was clean and tidy with very comfy beds. There were also a number of personal touches which we appreciated like the bottled water in the fridge and a great selection of teas and coffees.

Everything about this place was amazing. Too much to give details but the highlights were the views, the size of the large apartment, cooking on the bbq, eating and relaxing on the balcony, going across the road to the rocky shore to watch the sunset, walking the sandy beach the next morning, chatting with the owner, meeting the dog. The hi-way to the east into the mountains was closed from 7pm-7am nightly which made it very quiet for our stay - nearly nothing but ocean waves was heard. Wish we had time to stay longer.
