Modernes Ferienhaus für die ganze Familie

Das Ferienhaus ist hell, modern und gut ausgestattet. Schöner Garten zum Grillen. Der Grillplatz könnte einen besseren Rauchabzug haben. Ansonsten alles top!

honest view of holiday at Sunfish

Had a lovely family holiday. Views are fantastic especially of the sunsets. Neighbours are nice. Toys for children great. Unfortunately mislaid my Citizen eco drive wristwatch so still hoping it will turn up in a toy box.
