We had an amazing holiday.
We had an amazing holiday. The location could not be better and the property had absolutely everything we needed for a great family stay. Our children had a ball (6 and 2 years) with everything from the location near the beach and playground, to swing and childrens toys at the house. Would highly recommend this property, location and owner.
