Reviewer Comments: Really sweet retro shack, very clean and tidy. In a good location, with only a short walk into the town area and beach/ river. The house has everything you need to make your stay easy, however they don’t supply linen which is a little bothersome, we couldn’t locate the wifi code for a few days until the office was open, and the tap water is not drinkable so you need to be prepared for those things. Otherwise, it’s cute, cosy and easy with kids. ##### Scott P.
