We stayed at Sarah and Laurence's apartment for 2 nights in August with our two boys aged 12 and 16. We loved it.
Location - 5 mins walk from the beach. Maybe 10 to the end of the boardwalk. To be honest, you wouldn't want to be any closer. It's a perfect position as it means you can easily walk to the beach with chairs, towels, bodyboards, surf boards (all kindly provided with the apartment!)
Facilities - the apartment had everything you would need or expect. We ate out one night and ate in the other. Of particular note is Sarah and Laurence's generosity in supplying goodies and staples in the cupboard and fridge to make life easier when you're on the move. Much appreciated!
Host - Sarah was really helpful when we arrived and provided handy information about the local area. She made sure we had what we needed and we knew that if we had a problem or a question we could just ask (the apartment is completely separate to the family house so you have privacy but the host is right there if you need them - perfect).
We'd jump at the chance to stay again and would highly recommend the apartment.
