We really enjoyed our stay, the house is in a great location 5 min walking distance from the beach. It was very well equipped, and had everything you need.
The only downside was that the fridge has no ice maker so you have to make your own overnight or buy it, and it has no blackouts so be ready for a lot of light from really early in the morning.
