Beautiful beach house <3
The beach house was so so lovely! The check-in process was very easy, and the online guide provided had all the information about the amenities, utilities, and local attractions. The rooms were very spacious and clean, stocked with all the supplies we needed. We were also able to cook a few meals in the house: all the equipment is in very good condition and modern, easy to use.
The garden is definitely the highlight of the property: the flowers were so beautiful at sunset, and the jacuzzi was absolutely wonderful after a long day running around at the beach. 10/10 would love to stay again!!

We absolutely loved this property. The pictures are good, but don’t do this property justice at all. It has the most AMAZING woodwork, and creative details.
The back garden was magnificent with tons and tons of space and beautiful gardens.
My husband loved the hot tub, so that was a nice bonus for him.
We only stayed for two nights, so I can’t attest to all of the kitchen equipment, but there is everything one could need for a longer stay.
