We had a very spacious 3 bedroom home with full kitchen, oversized lounge/dining area and huge bathroom. The outlook to the beach was superb. Great service from a friendly, hardworking team of staff who made our stay super comfy. The best sleep from the softest beds and pillows made this a dream stay.
