This is a lovely apartment with a great view where you can sit and watch the world go by. The secure parking is nice to have as it’s makes it easy to move your luggage to the apartment and as it’s covered a bonus when it’s raining. The apartment has everything you need and the bedroom is a good size. The property manager is very helpful and quick to respond to any needs. There is a bar below and a few other shops which are handy for takeaways or eating in. It’s great that’s it’s within walking distance of the beach and children’s play area Would stay again if in this area

Nice apartment. Close to the beach and essentials. Parking is plenty but a bit tight and checkin requires calling a number as the manager doesn’t appear to be located on site.
