It is absolutely stunning. The owners have thought of everything and much more to make your stay perfect. The entrance to the property is very underwhelming however when you step through the door of the apartment it is a real wow moment. The welcome basket, tea and coffee and milk in the fridge are such thoughtful touches after a very long drive. The weather wasnât great but we loved sitting at the windows watching the world go by - very relaxing. The only tiny negative was a small water leak at the base of the toilet which the owners are trying their best to sort out and the size of the bathroom. We were prepared for this as it is mentioned in the details and reviews so not an issue at all. We had fun fitting my 6ft3 husband in the shower! We would highly recommend this property and cannot wait to stay again.

The only drawback for us was the 4 flights of stairs, ok if your fit.

The owners are very thoughtful and there was a welcome pack and flowers on our arrival. The furnishing and decoration are restful and tasteful and there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't provided - beach towels, beach chairs, a windbreak, binoculars were all available as well as a really good set of kitchen equipment. There is a great outlook over the beach and sea. Although it is on the busy esplanade we were never bothered by the noise and the bedroom is at the back and very quiet. The bed is very comfy and we slept really well whilst there. We had no trouble with the stairs ( it is second floor) but be aware there are quite a few. Altogether a wonderful week.
