The place looks exactly the same as in the pictures. It has absolutely everything you need. You could just come with your clothes and you would be fine. Beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella are provided. We did not cook but if we did, it would have been perfect since everything was also provided. If you have young children, especially toddlers, you just move sharp things out of your children's reach since the apartment is not children proof. That is what we did and we were fine. The place is also central to many places. It is only 20 to 50 minutes drive from the main attractions. Rixie will also give you suggestions on places to go and not to go. She will check on you (and the house) on a daily basis. She was almost like a mom to us. If you need a lot of attention, Rixie will give you that for sure. If you don't, she will adjust and still care for you. We enjoyed our stay with Rixie and Rui. We really loved it. We do recommend them and their place.
