The South Bay Getaway
Relaxing and comfortable holiday home in South Bay with beautiful views of the sea. Welcoming, helpful and friendly host. Loved watching boats loading off and on the ramp opposite and walks around the bay.

Amazing Location!
We loved our stay in South Bay! Gorgeous scenery and so much to do. The hosts were warm & welcoming & we appreciate being allowed to have our fur babies come for the holiday. Recommend this 100%
We were very impressed with the location of the property very special place with ocean views and ringside seat for watching boats being pulled up ramp by sturdy little tractors. The fittings were very comfortable and clean and warm. So relaxing, would definitely go again any time.

House with a view
Awesome watching all the boats going in and out. Not so good at 4am tho. The single beds were great the double was as hard as rock. That bed is the only downfall.

Seaside Bach
Clean and tidy seaside bach, has been modernized, the online description said there was wifi but that was incorrect. The floor is uneven which is what you could expect from a bach of this age, loved the location. Would stay again
