Perfect place to stay for a girl’s getaway
The location was perfect, close to the beach and shops. The house had everything you could need, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, coffee, tea, laundry soap, dish soap. There was even a welcome gift of a bottle of wine! The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. We loved eating at Sharky’s and looking for sharks teeth on Caspersen Beach. Would definitely recommend this property!
