Perfect place

This property is super clean, comfortable and in a great position. It was sun-soaked during the day and warm at night with an extremely efficient gas heater. The main living is a big social space connected to outdoor living. What a perfect holiday spot with everything you need. We are private people and appreciate not being disturbed during our stay.

Excellent, Relaxing, 3N Stay @‘Ocean Blue’

Excellent three night stay at “ocean blue“. Property was well appointed, super clean, had just about everything we needed. We really liked the design of the property, the abundance of windows and the fact that you can open up to the outside. it was wonderful. The property is within walking distance to the beach and just around the corner from the surf shack restaurant. I would highly recommend.

Relaxing beach break

We really enjoyed a few days away from hectic, stressful lives and we couldn't have picked a better place! The beach is close, a dairy even closer. There were books, table tennis and lovely outdoor spaces for chilling. The beds were comfortable and the house was perfectly presented. We'll be back.
