Bay Side Reviews

Alison
This home is the ideal location, quiet secluded beautiful sea views but a little walk in either direction and you are in one of the towns surrounding you. Lots of supermarkets close by and cafes, although it was a struggle to leave this amazing home. With working on my pool and learning table tennis it didnt leave much time to soak away in the hot Read moretub under the stars. I booked the property I thought it had every thing we would need but it had so much more that you know you have had a holiday! Hide
