Smještaj je imao sve što smo tražili, veliki bračni krevet, klimu, tuš, frižider u sobi, balkon sa lijepim pogledom na zelenilo i more, kuhinja je bila zajednička, ali rijetko kada smo vidjeli nekoga u njoj.

Plaže Mala stiniva, Jagodna, Lučišća, Dubovica, Grebišće obavezno posjetiti 🙂..Još jednom želim pohvaliti domaćine i mjesto u kojem smo proveli svoje ljetovanje. 🏝🙂”
