Attention to detail and cleanliness is superb everything neat and tidy. The restaurant also serves great meals and drinks, they have a seafood barbecue every week or so which was well attended and the food was awesome.

This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. On clear days, guests can head outside to enjoy the guest house's outdoor fireplace or simply kick back and relax. It is a beautiful property, stylish in a simple way, with loving attention to detail, in an exquisite location. but the place is “made” by the family who run it. They looked after us, cared for us, fed us incredibly well, and also left us to do our own thing. It’s been been a stunning stay, and we will definitely be back.
