H3 is an ideal location for young families. The fenced and gated property allows the kids to roam freely. The location of the beach is as the photos. It is stunning and the beach access is easy and convenient. We watched the sun go down each evening from the beach, or balcony or inside.

Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased to hear that H3 was a great fit for your family and that the fully fenced yard gave you peace of mind while the kids enjoyed the space.
It’s wonderful to know you made the most of the beautiful location—those sunset views really are something special, whether from the beach, the balcony, or inside the home.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful beachside home. The location is unbeatable — the beach is literally the backyard, making morning walks, swims,and fishing so easy and relaxing.The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well set up, with everything we needed for a stress-free stay. It felt welcoming and spacious, perfect for unwinding and truly switching off. This is the ideal place for anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and highly recommend it to others.

Perfect location for our family of 6, with 4 young kids. Mum and dad even got to relax! Kids had a ball. Stand up paddle boards were a hit. Saw dolphins from the backyard a couple of times. Magical!
We enjoyed our stay. Great to be able to walk straight onto the beach and the sunsets were fatastic. Having paid top rates for the time we stayed we were a little disapointed with the upkeep of the property. Some easy fixes like new carpeting would go a long way.
Great location and amenities. Very responsive host (they responded within hours of running out of propane fro the bbq) . We cooked in several times and the only critique we had was that the appliances, although functional, need a bit of an update for a property in this category. Otherwise, everything was as shown and would say the pictures do not do justice to the incredible sunset views we had during our stay.
