This beautiful, affordable cabin is perfect for a quick weekend getaway. The house is close to the beach, where you’re bound to spot some wildlife – including dolphins and whales!

With the heat in the area, you’re not going to want to be cooking big meals. Be warned though that there’s no hot water available at the property, and the hosts have pre-warned you to bring plenty of sun cream and bug repellent. There are also bikes available for rent.
