The house is a minute’s walk to the beach, which has gentle waves and lots of rock pools for paddling. Directly above the beach is Tatams coffee hut with hot chocolates and custard tarts. There are plenty of other child-friendly beaches in walking distance. The house is equipped with toys and books for young children, including a travel crib, high chair and a stair gate. Children will love the fun blackboard beside the kitchen and the bright colorful furnishings. This cottage is deliberately not decorated with typical beachy stripes and anchors. Instead it features a wealth of color, with bold contrasts in materials and prints. Pale Scandinavian-style wooden floors and large windows throughout give the house a light and bright feel. Design aficionados will recognize pieces throughout the house such as String shelves, Bordallo Pinheiro ceramics, Friso Kramer dining chairs, Bonton beds, Martino Gamper stools and furnishings from Le Monde Sauvage. Kitchenware is mostly Le Creuset, and porcelain imported from Portugal. Short-stays are available during low season, please enquire if you'd like to discuss.
