    Our family had a wonderful weekend at Thalasa. The cottage was great ..very clean , well equipped, super comfortable and in the perfect location with stunning ocean views. Despite the wet weather we managed to have fantastic time and hope to return in warmer weather to take advantage of the fabulous deck. Thanks so much Steve for sharing your beautiful beachfront getaway!

    We had a very comfortable stay at Thalasa. The house was very clean, check-in/out was easy, the house was well appointed & set out and the views are amazing. The fire was well stocked and used nightly during our winter stay. Steve was really easy to communicate with and provided all the details for a super easy holiday. Would recommend staying at Thalasa for a relaxed holiday and we hope to return one day.
