It’s a good little spot with convenient access to the beach. It is small so take that into consideration, however as it was just myself and my small dog it was perfect. The ability to walk to the beach each morning and afternoon was wonderful. I also appreciated to easy access to a range of food options.

Great location and very pet friendly with courtyard.

A lovely clean and comfortable stay, with a great private courtyard and comfortable bed in a quiet street close to shops and the beach. Really great for humans and pets alike. The only downside was that it advertised a kitchen when there wasn't one, except, fridge, microwave and outdoor BBQ, which was communicated after booking was made. However, overall, a great stay.
