A great place to stay!
We really enjoyed our short break in Mapua. The apartment was extremely comfortable and the view was wonderful. Highly recommend this apartment - it was handy to the cafes yet private and quiet.

Bright, clean, best location
My family of 3 had a short, 1 night stay here, but it was wonderful. The booking process and communication was 100% and the location could not be beat. The property was clean and just as described. You are on the water and we enjoyed walking over the the wharf for meals. A real treat was swimming and watching the children (and some adults) jump off the wharf at low tide and have the current carry them to the shore. We do hope to return for a longer stay. You can rent bicycles and take the pedestrian ferry to Rabbit Island, which was something we just didn't have time to do. Next time! Thanks for sharing this wonderful property!

Great location, all you need including ample space but would benefit from a bit more touching up to make it feel more complete/homy. For me it served the purpose.

Great location but needs blinds in living room as you have no privacy from people on the beach also with the sun coming in the large front window it get's very hot it would be unbearable in summer I believe you can get blinds which you can see out of but no one can see in they also cut back on the sun coming in, also a more thorougher check before new people are coming in i.e dishwasher not emptied,sheets still in washing machine,no washing pwd.It's details that make's all the difference.
