We take great pleasure in having others enjoy this incredible beachfront property. Guests like sitting on our lookout benches to admire the ocean views. They often remark on how much they love having our dogs, Rastus and Maggie, join them, as the dogs also seem captivated by the view. Everyone values the direct access to the beach from the garden.
We enjoy meeting new people and aim to make guests feel welcome and relaxed. We're always available to assist while respecting your privacy. We also have a good time taking our dogs to the beach daily for a walk or to play fetch. They're great fun and a treat to watch galloping along at full speed.
Our location is ideal, with the beach at your doorstep, shops nearby, and plenty of places to explore. We have compiled a list of top beach walks, restaurants, and other excursions, which we will WhatsApp to you on the day you arrive.
