This property is on a sandy beach. The 2 bedroom cottage was clean with a well equipped kitchen. Weather makes all the difference for our 3 day stay. Rain was torrential driving there, but cleared just before we arrived. It was sunny and warm for the 3 days, with only another rain storm at night.

Stay on the beach

Access to a spectacular beach is a highlight of this property. These are nice self-catering cottages that include a BBQ. The working mini-lighthouse that marks the driveway is a nice touch, it helps find the way back at night.

This place is actually even better than it looks online! We booked a two-night stay here right in the middle of a very busy vacation, and it turned out to be the perfect spot to completely unwind. The little cabin was immaculate, incredibly comfortable for our family, and fully stocked with every amenity we could have possibly needed. But the absolute highlight was the beach access—it is just a quick walk away. The beach itself is massive, spacious, never felt overcrowded, and the water was surprisingly warm. Our family’s absolute favorite memory was heading down to the shore at night to watch the sunset and just enjoy the calm, peaceful evening. Location-wise, it gives you that perfect, quiet, "off-the-beaten-path" feel while still being incredibly convenient. There are great local restaurants and a grocery store just a 2- to 3-minute drive from the cabin, making it easy to grab whatever you need. The only thing I would change about our trip is the duration—two nights wasn't enough! Next time, we will definitely book a longer stay so we can truly explore more of this beautiful community. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway!
