Pam and Dinko rent Dinko's former parents' house - which is very close to the city centre as well as the beach - to guests who appreciate this particular feeling of "home". The house has everything you need: it is big enough so that every one can have his own space if needed, but at the same time it offers space indoors and outdoors to spend time together. Since the garden is rather huge, kids will love it here! I rented this house for friends of mine who were guests at my husband's and my wedding during their stay. Dinko was extremely thoughtful and made sure they had everything they needed and asked several times if everything was okay. Even though he was in the USA at the time, it seemed as if he was close and that if there really had been something wrong, he would have probably given it all to help us. All of us had a great time, my friends really enjoyed their stay and left the house happier than when they had come. And the owner had definitely something to do with that! So, there's nothing left to say, except that we can really whole-heartedly recommend this house for your next holiday! ##### Mirjam W. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2019 ---
