A little oasis

We loved our stay in the Jungle…it was a little oasis of calm. And as long as you’re all good with a few steps, the short walk to the beach & dog park was so handy. Definitely recommend for a winter escape!

Tranquility Plus

Throughly enjoyed my 5 day stay with my 11 year old fur baby at the Sea Spray @ Lazy Days on Shaws Bay . The unit is tucked away in a tranquil and relaxing setting and is fitted out with everything you need. It is only a short drive to the off leash dog beach , and all the local attractions. Host Katya was lovely and accomodating nothing was any trouble .

Everything you needed and more. Spotlessly clean. Lovely outlook. Would have liked to have known there are 3 flights of stairs before we paid in full upfront. Not the best for two 79 year olds and a dog carrying all our gear. But lovely owner.

Mid Week Stay

The property was very clean & well maintained. Very comfortable for 2 people. As I have arthritis in my back I found the stairs quite difficult to negotiate. Also whilst a rain shower is lovely it is not always convenient to wet your hair every day just to shower maybe a dual purpose shower head would be more appropriate for everyday use. All in all the property was adequate for our 2 night stay. Our host Katya was vey pleaseant & helpful

The Jungle Unit

The property is beautifully presented, comfortable bed with quality bed linen, the kitchen is well provisioned & includes a Nespresso machine with pods provided. Very comfortable for 2 adults & our small dog.On the negative the 3 flights of steep stairs were an issue for us but maybe wouldn't bother younger guests, a car space is provided for each unit, however parking is quite difficult & presents some danger entering & leaving on a very busy road. Katya is an excellent host.
