We had a lovely 4 week stay at SSSS. The location was great; a quick, traffic free walk to the beach. The cottage was updated, super clean and comfortable. Tanya was a great communicator. She responded promptly to any queries that we had. Everything was labeled, had video instructions, and was easy to access and understand. Highly recommend.

The house was wonderful fit for my family. We had seven in our crew. It was walking distance to the beach, a fishing area in the back and a pool right in front of our area.. We did have some questions throughout our stay but Tanya was quickly responsive to those questions. Overall it was a great experience.
