Most guests found the apartment clean and well-maintained, though there were isolated complaints about cleanliness which seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.

The location is highly praised for its convenience, proximity to the beach, and the peaceful environment, making it an ideal spot for a holiday.

Guests generally found the apartment comfortable, especially noting the sofa and living space. However, some guests found the bed and mattress to be less comfortable, affecting the score.

  • Jackie

    Parking right outside apartment and all information we needed was received well before our visit. Nice phone call from the owner to make sure everything was alright upon our arrival. Would definitely visit here again.

  • Susie

    We go to the Bay 3 times a year and this property has everything you need. Like to thank the owner for the courtesy call he made to. Very nice touch. Facilities are amazing to given that this site does have Wi.fi problems sometimes. Not here. Would highly recommend and cant wait to say there again.

  • John

    Every thing you needed was supplied. The sofa was extra comfy but the only issue was the mattress was very thin and uncomfortable. We stayed here 18 years ago and the apartment has been well looked after and we are looking at booking again in the autumn.
