What our other guests had to say
This large and relaxing house was a sheer pleasure to stay in for 2 nights, and all 10 of us wished we could stay longer. It has been thoughtfully, tastefully and generously furnished with everything you could possibly hope for in a home away from home, and right on the beach. Wonderful views...
Carol
What an amazing place to stay. The seaviews are to picture perfect. Kelly is a wonderful Host. The communication, excellent. Everywhere sparkling clean. All in all just a wonderful place to relax. (One could almost be on an island on the front deck.)
Vena
The Big Bach was everything we hoped for. Right on the beach with fabulous views. There is so much space, the house is sunny and warm with a well equipped kitchen. A perfect place for a comfortable stay for a large group. Kelly was a great organisor. Hope we visit again.
