"Great location, very nice house with plenty of space for our extended family of 7. Nice outdoor space and gardens. We enjoyed breakfasts on the patio. Very close to beach and walking distance to town for shops. We had some minor issues with a leaking water tank but our host Julia was easy to communicate with. Problem was quickly resolved with minor inconvenience to us. We would definitely stay again!"
