Ocean Front Beach Pad
The toilet never worked despite several attempts following the hosts instructions. Great view despite the bad weather. The Van needs a bit of maintenance now.

Very private 1 bedroom modern flat bordering reserve in very quite cul-de-sac
Di the host was lovely and very helpful. Property was in a great location and had nearly everything provided. My only suggestion is a small milk for arrival (long life milk is great). Would stay again. Thank you

Just a walk away from the beach! and local restaurants and bars.
We had a lovely stay! So close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Lovely outdoor area that's under cover but still bright. A bit disappointed that the spa wasn't working but we appreciate the work the host put into getting it fixed at a tricky time of year. Communication with the host was excellent!Thank ...
