Beautiful three story house with everything you need. Amazing sea views and walk to the beach where we caught snapper off the rocks. Great facilities and beautiful garden, loved bbqs on the deck with outdoor heater. Bedrooms and bathrooms spacious and beautifully presented. Booking process and stay was seemless, thank you.
