Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!
The first thing I must say is that the hosts, Gertrud and Harold are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and by far the best hosts we have ever had!
We stayed at sunshine paradise in January of 2020 and loved it so much we went back again in early March 2020. I cannot say enough to explain just how wonderful it is, it is all perfection. The apartment is beautiful with cathedral ceilings and hardwood floors all whitewashed to give it a light beachy feeling. While lying in bed you can look out of the window to gaze at the ocean. Double doors open up onto the best feature which is the outdoor patio. Having the kitchen outside is wonderful. It is great to be able to be outside listening and looking at the ocean while making and eating meals. There are also comfortable Adirondack chairs and a great hammock for relaxing. When not on the beach this is where we spent most of our time, looking out at the amazing view! The apartment is perfect and you will want for nothing except to wish you could stay longer.
Now for the beach, which is right in your backyard. Gertrud has everything you need for the beach, lounge chairs, sand umbrella, kayak, snorkel and mask. You open the gate and take 5 steps and you are in a perfect spot. This is the best part as you don’t have to pack up and lug all of your stuff down to the beach. Its two seconds to go back up to the apartment when you need anything. You won’t need to go any farther than this spot for relaxing on the beach. There are never any crowds, the beach is always quiet. The sunsets every night are amazing!
The beach is beautiful with white sand and turquoise water. It is great for swimming as the waves, if there are any, are very gentle in this area. You can take great walks on the beach. A short walk to the left brings you to the pier and an outdoor restaurant. To the right is a much prettier and longer walk which also leads to a great outdoor restaurant called La Cabane, tables are right on the beach and the food and drinks are amazing! We headed out with just our bathing suits and a credit card, no shoes or towels and ended up there for a great lunch more than once. It’s a wonderful way to spend the afternoon strolling and swimming down the beach and stopping for lunch.
It was the perfect vacation, so relaxing and fun. We will continue to come back again and again. You will not find a more perfect place! I highly recommend this apartment and the wonderful hosts!
