Two families with children under 5\. The house is great and the location was perfect, on the beach and away from town. The layout of the house was great for 2 families. The house is not really suited to really young kids (stairs and no gate to the road) but we managed. It was very hot. There was no aircon but the house is well ventilated and was always pleasant even when 30 degrees outside. The host was lovely and very responsive. We had a great stay, highly recommended. ##### estelle d. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reeta Anjali P. 31 May 2025 ##### Reeta Anjali P. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ---
