Guests frequently mention the exceptional views, the soothing sounds of the waves, and the private beach experience. The hosts, Jim and Nina, are commended for their friendliness and helpfulness.

Yes itâs a steep climb but well worth it for the closeness to the sea. Bus stop at the top enabled us to explore the area & the local ferries. Jim was really kind & helped us with our luggage with the winch, do pack light though. Would definitely return to this wonderful beachside apartment. A++++
