A Relaxing Beach Stay

A well looked after and clean accommodation for a relaxing beach break in Stansbury, a short walk to the beach and town. We like all the little different areas to be able to sit and relax and we appreciate being able to have our pooch stay as well.

Beautiful holiday at Sammy’s Retreat

Me and my family spent a week at Sammy’s Retreat and it was a beautiful, relaxing, peaceful getaway. We needed a break from the world for a bit and got that in the oasis of Sammy’s Retreat. My beautiful dog Ginger loved holidaying with us too❤️
