Superior Cabin with Private Beach

A beachfront cabin with its own stretch of shore, four bedrooms and a fireplace, and round-the-clock self check-in that the property confirms suits late arrivals.

A family, or two, who want a house on the water with room to spread out and who may be arriving at an awkward hour. Anyone younger than 18 needs a parent or an official guardian present to check in; no cots or extra beds are kept and pets are not accepted.

The listing does not agree with itself on the bedroom count: the room type is sold as a three-bedroom house while the description and the bedroom list both say four. Booking.com publishes a maximum of five guests for the cabin. The kitchen appears on the facilities list with kitchenware, a washing machine and tumble dryer, but no oven, hob or dishwasher — check what is actually fitted. Check-in runs from 17:00 to 23:30 and check-out from 05:00 to 12:00, with self check-in by key box. No cots or extra beds are kept, pets are not accepted, smoking and parties are not allowed, guests younger than 18 need a parent or an official guardian with them, and hen or stag groups are turned away.

One detached cabin of 100 m². The bedroom list gives four rooms — an extra-large double bed, two doubles and two single beds, five beds in all — while the room type is named as a three-bedroom house. Seating area, fireplace, sofa bed and a balcony. A bidet appears on the bathroom facilities. Four stars on Booking.com, with part of the unit on the ground floor and upper floors reached by stairs.
