Beautiful beach house
Great family beach house. Wonderful open plan kitchen, dinning and lounge, our family had plenty of room to relax in. Kitchen was very well stocked, had every appliance you could want and even had basic pantry items like oil, sauce & serviettes. Kids had a ball with the table tennis table and outdoor ball games. Inside lots of board games for the whole family to enjoy too. We would love to stay again!
