This is an excellent place to stay if you are expecting a family bach, it’s not the most modern, fancy, unlived in house but it is affordable, comfortable and cozy and in a great location which suited our needs perfectly. We’d love to come back and bring the kids next time. There are board games and books galore for rainy days and a beautiful view from the sun-drenched deck in sunny weather. The instructions sent by the host were very clear and we had a great time. Would stay again. Thank you Diane.
