It contains an open space bathroom, an outdoor shower overlooking the sea, and access to the balcony.Wifi is available, but you need to pay for it.Comes with a fully functional self-catered kitchen - including a gas stove, electric oven, a full-sized refrigerator, eat-in counter, and all the glassware/silverware you need - along with a comfortable veranda, upper balcony, private parking, and yard.

After the paved road roundabout coming from Macaneta bridge, there is a 10-15min stretch of the journey to Mandowa Beach Forest & Cottages driving on sand.
