Reviewed Nov 5, 2025The "Little Sweetie" house is located near the wharf and restaurants, just a walking distance away. The house looks new, and the interior is also well-designed and modern. It consists of two bedrooms, a sizable kitchen, and a dining area. We like the balcony, which has a big table and four chairs; you can enjoy a good view of part of the sea. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials. Both beds are soft and comfortable to sleep on, and there's a separate living room that looks great and is spacious. There are also two common toilets available, so we didn't need to queue and wait.
No shampoo provide.

Reviewed Oct 27, 2025We loved everything about this property. There were three of us, so to have an extra toilet was a bonus. I personally loved the Ashley + Co reed diffuser in the bathroom (sometimes the little things are the things we remember). The property had everything we needed, even ice in the freezer. The view from the decking was fabulous overlooking the ocean. The property was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. It was really quiet overnight so sleeping was a breeze. It was lovely to have windows that opened to get in fresh air. Honestly there was nothing not to love. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone, you will not be disappointed.
The lack of hand towel and hand wash/soap in the laundry, where the second toilet is, but I believe this will be addressed.
