We had a nice stay. It was very close to the beach. It would have been more pleasant if the trees outside were pruned so that we got a view even to the ground. Some of the branches were touching the bedroom window. Had it been windy it would have been really annoying.

The location of this property is perfect, in such close vicinity to the beach, shops, food, park, skatepark and surf club. The apartment itself, number 30, was amazingly set up. They had board games, kids toys, beach toys, picnic rug & umbrella, a cart to take your stuff to the beach. The cupboards were full of everything you needed down to ice cube trays full. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.
