Beautiful house, perfect for the whole family. Walking distance to the beach. Well equipped at the house with everything you could need in the kitchen, very good heat pump, smart tv with Netflix and free wifi. Big deck with a new cover over the top would be amazing in the summer. Lovely overlook of a farm with cows
