Neighborhood info

The property is directly in front of the golden sands and the ocean. Please note that if the apartment description does not say that it has Direct Ocean Views, then it is not located at the front of the building and does not contain a direct Ocean view from inside the apartment. There are 8 Apartments in total in our building of which 4 face the ocean directly and therefore have direct ocean views. The other 4 apartments have restricted ocean views from their balconies or Terraces only and do not have an ocean view from inside the apartment. A patrolled beach area where lifeguards are watching is 50m to the right of our property infront of the surf club. More than 15 Cafe's and restaurants are located within a short 2 minutes walk. 2 Supermarkets and bottle shop is located also within a 2-3 minute walk. Children can play safely out the front. The area relaxing and blissful. It makes a perfect holiday get away. Whatever your pleasure, sandbox has something for everyone. Sandbox is a perfect vacation retreat for friends, families, and couples.
