The apartment was beautifully furnished in a simple, understated but extremely tasteful way. The living space and bedroom were so comfortable and well designed with everything in it of high quality. We loved the sunlight filled bathroom with the generous shower space. The apartment was in a great location and we were able to walk easily to local restaurants and the marina area.

The property is well equiped with everything you need for a family - we cooked every night and didnt want for anything . The location is central to all the local haunts/beaches. 15 mina beautiful walking trail all the way to the marina for rock wall fishing, marine activities, markets etc .Little Beach is less than 5 mins walk away and gorgeous beach- fantastic spot for night fishing . the bedrooms are huge and the beds - most comfortable bed I have ever had . My teenage sons loved theirs as well. Bathroom facilities well appointment and the shower- amazing. The kitchen is small but packs a punch being well stocked. Really appreciated this as mentioned I cooked every meal - breakfast to dinner. Weber BBQ an excellent add on , although found it easier to use the stovetop and pans. The addition of the Nintendo was a pleasant surprise and a hit for my teenagers. WIFI was a saviour in keeping teenagers occupied and not in my way :) Living room is a huge space with sitting for 4 and enough room for the family. Instructions for access to the property well set out.

    The location is great, even though you have to cross a very busy road to get to the beach. The agency was helpful and helped us with our special request towards the end of our stay. The apartment was beautiful and our kids loved sleeping on the bunk beds and having access to the outdoor grass area. We also loved how well equipped the kitchen was. Highly recommend.

    Me and my wife had a negative experience during our stay in room 1112 due to a noise coming from the window that sounded like someone knocking on the door. The noise occurred all night and affected our sleep, leading to negative effects on the following day. I do not recommend staying in that motel.

Pool right outside our front door although the weather a little too chilly for us to take a dip unfortunately.
