Excellent location and set-up

This was great accommodation for a stay of more than 1-2 nights, because of the full kitchen and laundry facilities. The location was excellent because it was very close to the beach and to the main shops. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Thank you so much.

Stayed one night with 2 teens and my Mum after a family gathering. Apartment was clean and warm. Hosts were there to meet us and very friendly. Main lounge area very large and spacious. 2 rooms with sleeping room for 5 plus sofa bed. Would recommend for families and close to shops.

Blissful few days

Perfect location 2 minutes stroll from the beach front, easy to find and signposted which was great after the long drive; all facilities in good order and felt clean, dry and airy. Bathroom was in demand by the teens for the great shower. Hosts were in the house above and were regular to check in and offer clean linen and also pleasant and unobtrusive; could not recommend more highly.
