The picture perfect location allowed us to live and breathe the rethime of the sea, take long barefoot walks on the sandy beach, see a new colourful sunset and fall asleep to the crashing waves at the end of each day. Thank you for sharing a piece of heaven with us.

Property was perfect for our needs and had all we required to be comfortable for the week. Loved waking to the sound of the sea and taking long walks along the beach with our children.

Have loved our relaxing stay at Scylla View. Everything we needed is here. Comfortable double bed with plush furnishings, well stocked cupboards and utensils. Warm and cosy home from home feel in open plan lounge/diner. Loved the little vases of flowers and ready to use ice cube tray in freezer :) The hoist was a godsend in getting our luggage and food supplies down the steep cliff. Iâm sure the property is perfect in season but we really loved the peace and in the main having the beach to ourselves. Have already recommended Scylla View to our friends and look forward to returning :)
