    Fantastic property. Spotlessly clean, well designed and absolutely loads of space. Really comfy bed and great chill out space with the sofa and dining table. Lovely bathroom, great shower and excellent toiletries as well as beach towels. Easy check in and clear instructions. Nice and quiet for a great nights sleep with a short walk to the beach. Can’t fault it!
