Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With shopping, eateries and a selection of beaches on your doorstep, this apartment is an ideal choice for a family or group of friends keen to be in the heart of the action. With such a convenient location, there are buildings surrounding the apartment so privacy is slightly limited in places – and there's no air con, so it could get a little warm in summer. That said, the Atlantic Ocean views from the private balcony more than make up for it, and with a choice of free and paid beaches nearby, choosing which stretch of sea to dip your toes in is a breeze.

Home truths
We recommend a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking available here.
There's no air conditioning available here. It could get a little hot during the summer.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair and baby bath for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
Due to this home's location on the busy seafront, expect to hear some level of street noise throughout your stay.
This apartment is overlooked by neighbouring homes. If you prefer absolute privacy, you may wish to look elsewhere.
