Reviewed Mar 5, 2025Spacious room and very clean unit. Loved the view and the host was great to deal with. On a warm day the room definitely holds in the heat. The room is very well equipped and had everything I needed for my trip. I was able to work comfortably on the desk which was a great size for all my laptop accessories and books.
I naturally like air conditioned rooms but there was only a fan in the room. It wasn't an issue for my trip as I was able to open the ranch slider to allow some cool air in.

Unfortunately we were double booked…after getting in touch with Robert, he offered us the top apartment, which was lovely but for the steps to get up there. Tricky with luggage and also for my partner who has some mobility issues.

Reviewed Feb 14, 2025This unit was modern,clean, comfortable and across the street from the beach which was lovely for a sunset walk. There was a restaurant next door that is apparently good but we did not visit it. Just be aware it is a bit far from other amenities but we had done our research so that was absolutely fine. Enjoyed our stay.
Nothing really. It was my mistake that I thought we were getting a beach view when I looked at pictures and booked the room. We were on the lower floor in Unit 9 which has a little courtyard but no view.
