Jul 21, 2023 #### Good location and amazing view Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was good spacious place for us, very good views and convenient location. The only issue might be that one toilet and bathroom if you are staying with max pax capacity which is 11 or 12 I believe. There also could have been an internal access to the ground bedrooms from the first floor. Overall we all had fun in the bach with games and amazing beach view.
