10/10 Exceptional

It’s probably not the fanciest in town but it’s so warm, directly across from non-built up beach (so you get beautiful dark skies). It’s clean and comfy as. Really lovely front of house. I’ll come back!
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Tidy & clean. Looked to be recently redecorated? Comfortable bed. Fabulous shower & well appointed kitchen. Right across the street from the beach. Reasonable price.
Jen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed at the Blue Seas before. Clean and tidy and nice and quiet. Unit I had had a modern bathroom and kitchen. Friendly owners. About only downside was that the wifi access was a bit poor.
Murry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location across the road from the beachside walk. Easy check in. Would be really helpful to have a mirror beside a power point in the living room for hair drying. The hair dryer can't be used in the bathroom, where the only mirror is, as the power point there is only for razors.
