Home away from home

This was our second year in a row staying at this property and it won't be our last. Plenty of space for a family of four which includes two girls, a 10 year old and thirteen year old. The area is laid back and quiet, the beach is just a three minute walk away. Two full baths, comfortable beds and an outstanding view from the balcony.
