What a awsome spot!
We stayed for 2 nights. The organization was great. They mentioed the cleaners had been away on holiday but it was still very tidy. A few of the front windows had some hand prints from previous stayers but besides that it was great. Loved the set up simple but user friendly. Kids had a blast and so close to awsome beaches
