Easy check in and out. Clean and spacious, had a well equipped kitchen . Just wish they would have left salt and pepper and other useful amenities so we didn’t have to purchase salt pepper, paper towels and toilet paper.

Great place!
Great place to stay and the heated pool was a real bonus. The only issue were the ants in the villa, but I think you get those everywhere.

We had a great time
From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail and the warm hospitality were evident. The villa itself was not only beautifully designed but also impeccably clean and well-maintained. The amenities provided, from the fully-equipped kitchen to the comfortable and stylish furnishings, made our stay both luxurious and convenient.

Holts stay
Property very good. Suggest towel sizes should be increased. Mattresses on single beds should be updated.

Great place by the beach
Great location, short walk to beaches and restaurants. Marina close by and everything else is a fairly short car ride. Neighborhood is quiet.

Very comfortable stay in a peaceful area
Very comfortable and extremely well equipped (especially the kitchen). Outside areas just perfect. Swimming pool good size. Plenty of space around the pool for loungers and furniture. Location - a quiet residential area, close to the beach, very safe, lots of families around and friendly neighbours. 15/20 minutes walk to lots of cafes and restaurants and two small supermarkets. We used Uber the whole time to get around further than this - couldn’t recommend highly enough.
