The summer home of royalty and celebrities offering top class restaurants and quality shops, the real draw is the array of watersports including sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and angling.

We are always grateful to be able to take our dog to any property. It is well situated being near to shops and access to beaches. The garden is secure but it does need attention as the borders are very overgrown which spoils it and is a breeding ground for a multitude of slugs and snails, a concern to us with our dog. The temperature on the heating is locked and we were quite chilly in the mornings and evenings and would be reluctant to go their in Winter. The tumble drier, situated in the garage, needs a good clean, we didn't want to put our clean washing in it! These comments are meant to be constructive. The bungalow was, as already said, comfortable and very clean which was much appreciated.

Plenty of space in the house and all equipment we needed. Loved the hot shower ( enclosure). Rock is a fantastic place to visit. Would go back another time for sure.
