Beautiful, large, clean family holiday house
The house is in a perfect location, close to the beach, shops. The house had large bright spaces - family friendly back yard space for kids to play and adults to relax. Overall, a beautiful holiday house and experience - we will be back! Host Kay was brilliant in all communication
