Gaze Across the Atlantic from a Glass-Walled Haven

The whole apartment is available. Open plan lounge dining kitchen and two en-suite bathrooms, entry area and deck. I am an artist, so my studio (opposite to apartment entry) will be locked as I will use it as a storeroom.

Head to Saunders’ Rock Tidal Pool on hot days for a refreshing dip.

If you prefer a personalized tour guide or shuttle service, we can organize that as well. Please note there will be extra outdoor furniture added to deck before your stay. There is air conditioning in all rooms
