The house and surroundings are exactly as pictured. The view is lovely and the house is pleasant, fully stocked, and well taken care of, ideal for two couples or a small family. A beach is indeed accessible by a flight of (steep) steps, I wouldn't recommend it for the elderly, but otherwise the beach is very nice (when it is not windy) and sometimes completely empty, offering a wonderful private feeling even in Mykonos in August. The main Agios Sostis beach is also very close on foot, the only problem being it becomes crowded at this time of year with many cars parking outside the house premises. Mykonos town is not far away by car and there is a choice of other beaches nearby. All in all a nice experience, to be recommended, many thanks to our host.
