“Gorgeous, quiet, safe and secure dog-friendly retreat with views to die for!”
Beautiful location with a gorgeous, quiet beach. Birdwatching was fantastic! The staff are friendly, and available to assist with any queries. The property is dog friendly and very securely walled, fenced and gated. The beds were firm and comfortable with great pillows. The host was quick to respond. Will definitely return.

“Our stay was satisfactory and met our needs.”
We chose the property for its proximity to a wedding we were attending at the end of the road in Villa Isabella. The property was spacious and the beds were clean and comfortable. Constance was very helpful. It was lovely to go to sleep to the sound of the ocean. The showers were good. The property felt very secure. We did see dolphins and whales from the beach. The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with.
