It was really hard to communicate with the property manager. I kept on messaging yet no reply. Did not receive my Bach information until on the day of booking. The house was very smelly and had cockroaches everywhere. The dishes and cutlery were dirty too.
The place is beautiful and few minutes walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. Was a great trip away. Just not happy with communication and cleaning.
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021

Great little bach for a week or weekend away.
Great little bach for a week or weekend away. The kitchen was well appointed and the set up of the bedrooms means everyone can have their own space. The water pressure in the showers was a bit poor, but that might just be a factor of not being on town supply. It would also be good if the property was numbered clearly to help guests to find it; from the street it's not 100% clear which property the place is and where to park. Other than that we had a great time!
