Such a fun place to stay! We loved being tucked back in the woods and only a short walk to the beach was perfect for us! In the evenings, we enjoyed ping pong and darts mostly. We also played several games that were provided. It was a great trip to the beach for us!

Great stay!

The house was very clean and was stocked with all the amenities you could need. The walking trail to the beach worked perfectly and provides shade if you’re hauling a lot of stuff. Biljana was amazing to deal with and I would definitely consider booking this place again!
