"Our rental was just a brief 7-minute stroll away from this serene beach. The tranquility of the place was striking, with hardly any crowds in sight. The water was exceptionally refreshing and inviting, perfect for a dip or a leisurely swim. The beach provided a perfect setting to unwind and soak in the breathtaking sunset views."
