Apartment was light and airy and the beds were extremely comfortable. Sofa bed in the lounge was sizeable and all bed linen and towel provided. Nice quiet location away from the main beachfront.

    Lovely apartment would highly recommend staying here. Loads of nice homely touches, i.e., tea, coffee, shower gel, and a bonus was no noise from upstairs flat. Great communication from the owner/ holiday rental firm and stress free check-in.

    Me and my partner had missed the last train home, searched for accommodation very last minute and found marine villa suites which was extremely cheap compared to the rest of available accommodations nearby. Excellent location very close to seafront, very comfortable inside, bedroom and bathroom very lovely. Would definitely recommend
