A really great location with easy parking for a rental car. The property was not right on the beach, but the access was super-short, and the beach was AMAZING! The Villa was well-stocked in the kitchen, and we had all we needed after collecting our breakfast supplies from the shop close by. The living, bedroom, and patio areas also offered everything we needed. Loved the washer and little extras like water shoes, life jackets, snorkles and fins, beach loungers, and kayaks for guest's use.
