This property was lovely. Everything we needed was available. Owner was available when we needed. The area was amazing. Quiet and view was absolutely goegeous. The pub at the beach was just as nice. Food was delish and not expensive at all. Must say they made the best cheese burger. People are also so friendly. We will definitely be back.
