Visiting tips & what to bring

Located in the hilltop Sarahama area, travel by car is convenient to the beach. Being a whole-house rental, there is basically no meal service, and self-catering using nearby supermarkets and diners or eating out is central. A hire car widens your range of activity. As check-in is from 15:00 to the latest 21:00, contacting by phone in advance is reassuring if your arrival time will be late.

For families with small children

Being a fully private whole-house space where you can spend time without minding other guests, it suits families with small children too. The point that a supermarket and diner are nearby, easy for shopping and self-catering, is convenient with children. On the other hand, the stocking of baby goods and co-sleeping arrangements need confirmation, and as travel to the beach is by car, inquiring directly about facility details before booking is reassuring.
