  • Fantastic holiday house with unique features and amenities rarely seen in comparable properties. A modern kitchen with three fridges and all the appliances you can find in your own house. We enjoyed the well maintained heated swimming pool. The solid construction of house with concrete panels and polished concrete floor adds to its luxury feeling.

  • We had 12 adults (4 who were seniors) and 3 children stay at this property over 2 nights and we all had a great experience. If you’ve ever wondered what it’d be like to experience living in a huge modern architecture home with beach views then this is a solid pick. The property was stunning inside and out. Unfortunately, being in the winter and rainy during our stay we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor facilities like the pool, bbq and fire pit but it would have no doubt added to our stay. The only downside of the place is that there weren’t any accessible power points in some of the bedrooms for us to charge our phones because most of the house walls seem to be built out of concrete (which did feel fancy) but we made do with the many other power points in the house.
