"Overall, it was a good stay. The house is right by the seaside, which is fantastic. However, there is a lot of foot traffic in front of the house, which reduces privacy a little. There is only one air conditioner in the living room and none in the bedrooms, so you may need to leave the bedroom doors open to cool or heat them. The bed was also too soft for my liking."
