We absolutely loved staying at this beach house — it’s our second year in a row here and it didn’t disappoint! The home is beautiful, comfortable, and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The location is perfect and makes it so easy to unwind and enjoy the beach. It truly feels like a home away from home for our family. We’re already hoping to be back again next year!

Peaceful, stunning views and comfortable!

We had a tremendously relaxing time enjoying the long beautiful walks, kayaking around the islands and swimming. The home had everything you could want. We loved sitting out on the patio in the early morning watching the new sunrise as it's rays splashed out across the bay. This was a memorable weekend, Thank you!

It was well set up & safe for kids, the view was amazing and literally a 2 minute walk to the beach. Communication with the owner was kutstanding, if we had a question it was answer super quick. We will definitely be back! Spa was an added bonus! Thanks so much!

Stay

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful beach house for a weekend getaway. The beach house was stunning, with breathtaking views of the ocean right from the living room. The interior was tastefully decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The spacious bedrooms provided a comfortable and relaxing stay, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore was the perfect lullaby at night. The beach access was convenient, allowing us to take long walks on the sandy shores and enjoy the sunsets. Overall, my experience at the house was truly unforgettable, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing beach retreat."

Excellent location and a wonderful house to rent for a relaxing holiday by the sea

Seacape is a well appointed house with everything you require for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen has all the mod cons including a dishwasher and thermowave oven and contains everything you need. The beds are comfortable and the lounge and dinning room areas are roomy with lots of space to move around. The spa pool had lots of use and it is only a minute or so to walk to the fabulous Opito Bay beach. The outside deck has a panoramic view of the Opito By area and beyond. An excellent dining table with plenty of chairs. The bbq was easy to use and clean up. Thank you for letting us use your lovely house, we all had a wonderful time and will return for another holiday I am sure.

Amazing Opito bay!!

Great location and nice house with a hot spa, which came in handy in rainy weather. The house is equipped with everything you need and even more :)) Lots of sleeping places but some of them are so old that it is impossible to sleep on them plus not a single good pillow. Upon arrival, the house turned out to be very dusty and dirty inside (I had to work for about an hour with cleaning inside the house) In general, 4 stars, I’m happy to spend the next holidays in this house BUT with the condition that there are new pillows and at least one new mattress :))Thanks
