Tropical oasis!

Beautifully styled and maintained property, with carefully considered facilities - we had everything we needed and didn't want to leave! Central Rye location, a short drive to the beach, supermarket and cafes, as well as local vineyards. Property manager was very easy to deal with and the late check-option was the icing on the cake.

A little piece of paradise!
