We did ask for some shade on the balcony - but were told a sun umbrella for the table wasn't possible due to to the wind. Understandable at that height. Some kind of canopy would be a great benefit to the comfort of guests. A replacement hummingbird feeder was also requested but never materialised. We still managed to feed the other birds - a beautiful array of local birds came and fed. There is really nothing not to like...although maybe a toaster would be good. Make sure you take good earplugs as the sounds of the village travel - all part of the experience.

The location was extraordinary. Yes, there were steps, of course there were, the house is high, with amazing views of the beach and ocean. The motion sensor lights on the steep outdoor steps were a great help in navigating them safely. The housekeeper was brilliant - despite feeling unwell - she went above and beyond to clean and change bedding and towels three times during our week stay. Rolling, the house manager, did his best to make contact and sort out initial access issues - we did expect to be met by him on arrival but he did stop by later during our stay to check we were ok. The house had almost everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Just perfect!

Balcony could be wider to take a table. No soap provided We were let down for transport from the airport. Rolling didn’t turn up … cost us twice as much as expected to take another taxi

Location and view. Rolling fixed up a hummingbird station for us Wonderful kitchen pans!

I don’t like to write negative things.

The position was fabulous. Right on beautiful beach and 10 mins walk to the village, easier when you found the shortcuts. Quite hilly so not great for people with walking difficulties, we were fine.

All good

Fabulous place overlooking small bay. Be hard to beat the view. Locals very friendly and ideal lace if you want to just kick your shoes off and enjoy the sea and sun

Unfortuneately i was thinking to get the flat with bigger Balcony. It was not so clear by making Reservation. The entry of the strand was very dirty . They leave all garbage after Party on the Street and the entry of the beautiful beach. This is not owners Problem and Has nothing to Do with the flat.

It was extraordinary. We Like it. View was fantastic

Would have been great to have more basic cooking ingredients e.g. sugar, oil - and a smaller pot. Kitchen is really well set up for cooking with a superb gas oven, but it meant I had to go out and buy those basics.

Superb views - it would have been impossible to get better views to be honest! Comfortable and relaxing - great to be on the quieter little beach than the nearby Castara Beach

We liked everything. If any issues or needs came up the managers are very helpful.

This is an absolute dream of a place right above the beach. It’s comfortable, clean and with a view you cannot compete with, especially if you’re in the Sunset apartment. The feeling of being totally in nature, sleeping with windows open and hearing the sea as well as occasional rain shower was so relaxing. Castara is a lovely little town with super friendly people. It’s good to rent a car to explore the island, although we also had many days of just enjoying the beach as well as lazy mornings with the view from the apartment.

too many hills and stairs to walk up

so dreamy

The building itself is not fit for the purpose due to all kind of insects come inside the place even you close all the windows. The mosquito nets do not do the job as it is very tiny ones either. Beddings are very poor quality too.

Someone to meet and greet

The fact the guest in the other apartment was able to get us in. First off stunning views undeniably, reasonable cleanliness with room for improvement as some areas are just not cleaned, however it was comfortable rental and well equipped although some lights and light fittings did not work. Steep steps to access the rental although not a problem for us may be a game changer for others. The sunsets and even watching the moon set one morning was just memorising. In addition, watching the Stingrays from above was great, one evening even Dolphins came into view. Awkwardly and not the fault of the property, we certainly expected some music and entertainment noise, however you could hardly hear anything from that source. However, whilst we appreciate it’s a rural village, with tourist, fishing, working etc, even the Cockerel repeatedly from around 1am can be forgiven. However, neighbours playing music for 5.30am/5.45am repeatedly using petrol strimmer’s and other power tools and spoilt our break as did constant evening burning as smoke filtered through the apartment, add the dogs barking at all hours. The result was not a single night’s sleep to the point we nearly left earlier than planned. To be fair outside the control of the owners but honest reporting and perhaps we were unlucky but it is enough to not consider a further booking.
