Fully refundableReserve now, pay when you stay
This campground featured laundry facilities and barbecue grills. Take advantage of the free self parking.
The location and views are beautiful. However, the sound of the tent fabric moving and straining in the wind was extremely loud and made it very difficult to sleep. It doesn’t seem designed for windy conditions.

"The house was great, amazing location just on the beach, and well equiped. We did have few very hot days during our stay and the house has no air con. It's not too bad if you are out during the day yet grandparents found it hard to be home with fans only."
