Nice accommodation, great location
Our accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable. The private beach was stunning, a walk along it just after dawn was truly magnificent.

Cabin was very clear, had everything we needed and more. We loved the atmosphere of the location. We used the private path to the beach to enjoy the sunrise every morning of our stay. The location was close to everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again!!!
