The property was great and the views spectacular, we did find the proximity to the beach amazing, but we struggled with the distance from anywhere to eat.

We had a fantastic stay at this property with our family during our holidays. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, which made our days filled with sun and sand so convenient. The property itself was outstanding, with excellent utilities that made us feel right at home. Every amenity we needed was provided, making our stay comfortable and stress-free.
