We enjoyed the location. The accommodation is a bit run down with mouldy curtains and a feeling that it needs a deep clean. Most of the time the tv reception was interrupted but after reporting it, was reset. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach.

Excellent Retreat with More than Expected

Amazing views from the room with a separate enclosed space for your private cup of coffee. The host guided us through the hot beach process and gave us a free shovel. He righted an internet problem immediately. We were right across from the beach.
