TL;DR
Plaza hotel is praised for in-room kettle, sturdy wooden sunbeds and fresh mattresses on the beach; alternatively, private houses with a greenhouse, garden, sauna and pool offer a more secluded stay.
What the community said
Private house option for rent: comes with a greenhouse, small garden, sauna and pool on request — good for travelers who prefer quiet and privacy over a busy hotel.

At Plaza hotel rooms come with a kettle, while cups/spoons are taken from the restaurant; beach sunbeds are wooden, intact, with fresh mattresses. The reviewer is booking the same hotel again for 3 nights in October.

A common downside of rental apartments/houses is no laundry dryer: after the beach you end up hand-washing every evening and hanging clothes on chairs or the balcony, which is inconvenient for a large family. This is usually sorted out on-site with the owner.
