Great in all aspects but upgrade the beds

This place was wonderful and made our trip a true delight. The mattress in the bedroom and the rollout cot mattress were both lacking. Could do to get a couple of new mattresses.

Great location

The location was perfect for a 15 minute walk to the promenade. However it should be noted that the A/C was just a selection of fans so it can get quite hot inside and the whole place could benefit from a deep clean and a lick of paint. We were comfortable enough though.

We enjoyed the property. The proximity to the beach and food was spot on! We literally walked to the beach each day! Inside the property is a bit dated, could use a fresh coat of paint and a professional cleaning! There were lots of spiderwebs
