Too much to give details but the highlights were the views, the size of the large apartment, cooking on the bbq, eating and relaxing on the balcony, going across the road to the rocky shore to watch the sunset, walking the sandy beach the next morning, chatting with the owner, meeting the dog. The hi-way to the east into the mountains was closed from 7pm-7am nightly which made it very quiet for our stay - nearly nothing but ocean waves was heard. Wish we had time to stay longer. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil S. 3 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home away from home Great stay, slept really well .
