Mandrakia doesn’t have a whole lot in it (no convenience store / one restaurant), you will definitely need a vehicle of some type. If you are here in offseason, restaurant may not be open. The house is not on the water, but you can see that water from the deck, looking past the parking area. With that said, the company who manages this property does a very good job of being thoughtful about providing everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the space is beautiful.
