Simple Beach Living

We stayed for a week after Easter 2024 having previously stayed in 2023. Weather was not kind but we still managed some beach time. Property is well located - under15 min walk to beach or 10 min to city centre. Two bathrooms and toilets along with two lounge areas made for easy family living. Crockery and cookware is fine for simple meals but not for serious cooking. A modest home, secure yard, makes for a relaxing holiday.
