Very good value for the area

For a rather old property, it was fairly well maintained and was more than adequate for a family or group. It presented very good value for the area which in general is well over-priced.

Fab location, lovely house

We really enjoyed ourselves at Shimoda. It has everything you need and a location that can't be beat. We especially appreciated the extras that made it from a place to stay into a home.
