Beachfront Luxury
Situated on the water, this stunning villa opens through glass sliding doors to an expansive entertainment deck with corner lounger and large fireplace. Down onto the lawn and then through a gate directly onto the beach. On arrival, soak in the peace and quiet while enjoying homemade treats with a hot beverage.

Wake up and prepare your continental breakfast before setting off to explore the various local attractions. The bottom floor of this tranquil beachfront home is exclusively for your use and has a private entrance.

Absolutely stunning with spectacular views
We had an amazing four night stay at this stunning and very spacious apartment which is just metres away from the beach. The host was very friendly and obliging and the apartment was spotless and had every amenity we needed. Great communication from host and I would highly recommend if you wanting a peaceful getaway by the sea.

Amazing view and so clean!
We throughly enjoyed our stay at ‘Once Upon A Tide ‘. It was such a peaceful retreat and the views from
All the rooms are stunning. The house if probably the cleanest I have stayed in and the decor and extra bits like Homemade cookies were a lovely welcome. We were only there for less than 24hrs, but it felt a lot longer and we will definitely be back!
