Slice of Paradise

Our family were lucky enough to wake up on Xmas day at this absolutely gem of a place. Private beach access, comfy beds, extremely warm house and eating our meals with a million dollar view from the dining/sunroom was just bliss, Thank you :)

Beautiful spot!

We booked the house for my birthday. My plan was to relax and have some quality time with family and our two dogs. The location is spectacular and the house was warm, clean and very thoughtfully appointed. The amenities were great, from stove to coffee machine. The one and only disappointment was the tv, but who needs a tv being in such a beautiful spot! A huge bonus point I want to give for friendliness, responsiveness and great communication with the owner/manager! Well done! We’ll be back!

A spectacular place to stay, I would love to come back for longer. The view from the dining area is as good as it comes, and you have your own entrance to the beautiful beach, where you can walk along and then around the fabulous Huriawa Peninsula.Every bedroom has a sea view, staying here is a real treat.

We have been renting the house for 7 days. The directions to the house were clearly and detailed. Hence, we could find the place without any problems. The interior of the house is comfortable. The view to the ocean is remarkable and allows to have breakfast with a view to it. Pauline gave us the code to the door and everything went smoothly.Almut from Germany
