Not far from the beach and other local attractions. We enjoyed our stay and found the property generally very comfortable. The only downside was the beds upstairs - we'd recommend replacing or repairing them to further enhance the comfort of the property. We'd definitely stay again! Thank you for an enjoyable holiday!
