We stayed in the Sand Dune unit. Lovely unit on beach front. Not at all noisy though you can slightly hear the neighbouring unit. Great to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by and enjoy the sound of the surf. Only stayed one night but would have loved to be able to stay longer.
Ate dinner and breakfast at the Esplanade restaurant - very authentic Italian food, would highly recommend.
Great place - a hidden gem and so good to be able to have fur babies stay with you too.
Wonderful units with everything you need and more.
Close to town although far enough away that you feel like you’re in the country.
