User reviews

"Sails beach house exceeded all of my expectations and more. The moment I walked in, I was amazed by how stunning the place was - the photos online really didn't do it justice! The house is spacious with three rooms and three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, cozy hammocks, and a BBQ area outside. There was even a bottle of champagne waiting for us in the fridge! Nellie, ..."
