We have been renting the house for 7 days. The directions to the house were clearly and detailed. Hence, we could find the place without any problems. The interior of the house is comfortable. The view to the ocean is remarkable and allows to have breakfast with a view to it. Pauline gave us the code to the door and everything went smoothly.Almut from Germany

Slice of Paradise

Our family were lucky enough to wake up on Xmas day at this absolutely gem of a place. Private beach access, comfy beds, extremely warm house and eating our meals with a million dollar view from the dining/sunroom was just bliss, Thank you :)

Beautiful spot!

We booked the house for my birthday. My plan was to relax and have some quality time with family and our two dogs. The location is spectacular and the house was warm, clean and very thoughtfully appointed. The amenities were great, from stove to coffee machine. The one and only disappointment was the tv, but who needs a tv being in such a beautiful spot! A huge bonus point I want to give for friendliness, responsiveness and great communication with the owner/manager! Well done! We’ll be back!
