Spacious living area and Kitchenette equipped with the essentials, comfortable king size bed, newly renovated shower/toilet, ceiling fans to keep you cool and insect screens on security doors. Beach not suitable for swimming as too shallow/ rocky, but great for relaxing or shelling. Bed linens, towels and basic toiletries provided. Yard and beach access shared with two neighbours.
