The house was deceptively spacious with high ceilings and my husband loved the layout. Loved being able to hear the waves and see the beach from the living room and also see the hills and a lemon tree in the back garden from the kitchen. Also it was nice to be able to bike along the esplanade. My only quibble would be the kitchen wasn't as clean as it should have been, with crumbs on the counter and a sticky spill in the fridge, and dirty plates. Also there were child sized dirty handprints all over the glass doors front and back which made the place look a little grimy. But otherwise it is a great place to stay.
