" I loved this spot. Just 5 mins walk from the beach, where there are some other cabins and accommodations, but it’s nice to get a bit of both worlds.. Margaux’s cabins are located amongst the fields and countryside through a little forest walk on the road not far away. All was clean and great. Common shared kitchen space, show, bathroom all great. Very natural finish, but also elegant in its own rustic way. Lovely breeze when I was here in January. Would definitely come back some day and stay again if things line up to support that.. thank you Margaux! "
