#### Beautiful house!

The property is located in a gated community with top notch security. It is located close to gorgeous beaches in 10 minute driving distance. The house is lovely and luxurious, equipped with much needed Aircon, swimming pool and en-suite bathrooms. All the amenities are there. The property manager greeted us friendly and showed us around, as well as great communication throughout the stay. We had an amazing stay. I can highly recommend this property! Thank you!
