We enjoyed the quiet seclusion of the beach and surrounds. Unfortunately the fly screens on double glass doors to the deck were torn in spots which let lots of small insects in if you were trying to enjoy the sea breeze. The kitchenette could use some updating and modernizing. ##### Mark L.

However, the restaurant in town was a waste of time/money. Our suggestion would be to buy your own food and eat it sat on the balcony whilst watching a sunset to make the most of this beautiful place to stay. The early morning run/walk on the beach on Christmas day was fantastic!
