A well equipped home in a great South Coast location not too far from Oistins and a few metres from ZR stop. Good sized rooms, with AC in bed rooms. Lovely living/kitchen area and great facilities to make it home from home. Tidy front garden and yard space at back. Felt secure with good locks on doors and windows.Nice residential area, but make sure you have mosquito repellent and ear plugs if you don't like cockerels! Local cat and chickens friendlyThis is our second stay here and I can't fault it. Great communications and response always, very recommended!
