To lie in bed and watch the tide and the birds and listen to the music of the water lapping the shore is a real holiday. Our only problem was that we were unable to access the online code for entry. However we knew in such a small community we would be sure to find someone who knew the property manager and within a short time we discovered the wonderful Sharon.
