What an amazing place. We stayed for a long weekend and had a brilliant weekend. The house is in such a scenic location and right on the beach. We spent the weekend enjoying the sauna, the beach and the sea. The house is well equipped and immaculately kept. 6 adults and 9 children stayed for the weekend and we never left the house once. The views from the house are amazing and the sunrises are spectacular. We will definitely be back.

Our recent stay at this Airbnb property was delightful, and we highly recommend it. The seafront location provided stunning views, enhancing our mornings. The well-equipped kitchen and efficient heating system added to the comfort, while the spacious accommodation easily housed our group of 13. However, some drawbacks surfaced. The lack of a curtain for the studio door compromised privacy. Issues with the hot water supply in the studio and insufficient keys for our group were inconveniences that could be addressed for a better experience. Communication with the host faced delays, impacting responsiveness to inquiries. Cleanliness concerns, such as a dirty cutlery drawer and stained bedsheets, indicated a need for more thorough cleaning and attention to detail. In conclusion, our stay had wonderful moments, but addressing these improvements would elevate the Airbnb property. Despite minor drawbacks, we appreciate our time here and recommend it for those seeking a memorable getaway.
