visit to Snells Beach
We enjoyed our stay but special circumstances meant it is difficult to write a review. The owners were very conscientious and helpful
Pleased you enjoyed your stay despite the inconvenience due to unforeseen circumstances beyond any-ones control.
Perfect getaway destination
The view is breathtaking and unit provided a sense of calm and tranquility. We were impressed by how spacious the living area was and having a full kitchen was a bonus. Close to so many activities.
We unfortunately had to cut our trip short and leave urgently due to a medical event (luckily not too serious) and were not able to clean to the standard required. Shirley was so understanding and kind. We will definitely book again.
Thank you, a very responsible guest who was able to relax and enjoy the many activities in the area on a shortened stay. My pleasure to welcome your return in the future.

About shirin290
I am retired and together with my husband we love being close to the seaside. We have travelled the worlds oceans in our own yacht for many years and finding this unique holiday unit right on the waters edge was a delightful find indeed. Our seaside unit has given us much pleasure for short stays to take a break and relax away from our residential home. The sea vista outlook is a wonderful reminder of our ocean sailing years. We now like to share our holiday get-away accommodation so that others can also enjoy and have the pleasure of a total beach-side relaxing break away.
Why shirin290 chose Snells Beach

The surrounding areas of Snells Beach are all within a small radius where spectacular scenery will be revealed from this very centralized unit.
