Guest comments
Absolutely wonderful home! Incredibly clean and well stocked. Very much enjoyed the local beaches and convenience of the shops.
Could not speak highly enough of the graciousness of the owners. They went well beyond the call of duty in ensuring our comfort. Thank you for such a great holiday.
The house was beyond what we expected. The beds were super comfortable, kitchen was lacking nothing and information on local sights very helpful.
House swap
We would be interested in considering a house swap from September through May.
