The perfect place

There’s so much I could say about this place. It was super clean, organized. SO BEAUTIFUL! The pictures don’t do it justice. Also loved how thoughtful they are about pups. They got blankets, bowls, leash, bags. Literally everything my pup needed, they had. Definitely booking with them again!!!!

Another day in paradise.

Our stay at this property was wonderful. The house is nicely decorated and furnished. The pool which was recently installed was a nice bonus. The location is great with only a few minutes' walk to the beach. We will definitely stay here again.
