Staying at Stella's place offers a rare opportunity. You are in a large, luxe, generously sized house with superb views and a balcony overlooking the beach (there is a busy street between.) Nothing feels impersonal -- all in the spirit of luxe beach living! That said, visitors should know certain things: there is no central heating. Most houses in the area do have central heating for the cool nights -- we had bad luck in coming during recent rain storms with low temperatures. The space heaters were just adequate for the bedrooms and all other rooms were unpleasantly cold. Electric fireplaces on both floors were not functional. Instructions would have been helpful for use of jets in bath & shower. The main bedroom overlooks the street - there is some noise. Curtains are sheer. Stella provides eye masks, which were fine for me. She dashed over when we got locked out, saving us from missing our flight. She may be a new host and will work out the kinks.
