Whitesands Beach House

Summary:

Modern with beautiful decor, this spacious beach house is perfect for families and group getaways. Stroll to the beach across the road or enjoy the stunning views of the ocean from the large deck where you can relax on the outdoor furniture. Downstairs offers another lounge for the kids to have their own space where there is also a sofa bed for an extra 2 guests. Super comfortable beds and all of the comforts this home provides means your holiday will be just that.



The Space:

Upstairs offers open plan living with doors opening onto a lovely large deck to soak in the views. The spacious en-suited master bedroom is upstairs off the lounge. The kitchen has a butlers pantry for that extra space. The two downstairs bedrooms are located off the downstairs lounge area which can be used as an extra bedroom for 2 extra guests - this flows onto a outdoor patio. Fully fenced means this home is child friendly. And for those rainy days there are three smart TVs, with Ultra HD TVs in both lounges - even the master bedroom has its own 49 inch TV. All TVs are connected to the internet and all have SKY TV, Netflix and Freeview. In the large double garage you can also enjoy table tennis and darts.

Great place for family and friends

Perfect space for our family of 4 plus a friend each for the teenagers - downstairs has a separate TV room with 2 bedrooms, bathroom and separate toilet. Upstairs has a guest toilet and a full ensuite (with walk-in shower, lovely). A short walk through the dunes to the beach. Kitchen has everything you can ever need (including a butler's pantry!). We enjoyed our stay even though we didn't get to see much sun - the house is easy to live in.

Family gathering

A great place to stay for a family gathering/reunion. We found it very clean and comfortable, and the property manager was excellent and very responsive to the minor issues we had. The cooking arrangements were challenging, but a combination of a demonstration and detailed instructions got us there. It proved very easy to extend our stay at the last minute too. Mid-winter meant we were not able to take full advantage of all the activities provided for but in better weather that would have been different. The views from the lounge were lovely and we saw some spectacular sunset skies.

Beach Get Away

Loved the sea views from the living area. Quick and easy access to view the sun sets in the afternoons or a walk down for a surf. The table tennis kept the kids occupied, which was a great feature. All round a lovely property, would definitely recommend. Thanks for letting us stay.

Beautiful immaculate house with ocean views.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful house. We had 4 children too and it was perfect as walking distance to the beach (across the road) and biking distance to the cafes. The games room was of great use. The kitchen and butlers pantry was amazing! Large selection of glasses,platters,cocktail and wine glasses. A real entertaining set up. Thanks so much
