Fred’s bucks party
Brian and sue were the easiest people to deal with. Nothing was a drama and Brian was waiting for us at the place to greet us when we arrived. Unfortunately we had a little bit of damage and I spoke to him about it and he was very understanding and pleasant. The venue was perfect for a bucks party and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend them very highly.

Great family house!!
We enjoyed this property very much. It was exceptionally clean, perfect for larger/shared families, and had all the finer details that are usually missing from holiday houses, such as high chairs, baby safety gates, a juke box, TV's in almost every room, bar fridges in some bedrooms and several games to keep the kids entertained. The pool exceeded our expectations! It was heated to a great temperature so the kids always enjoyed their swim and never wanted to get out- it even made night swims that extra bit better. The pool house was also great! Adults could watch the kids swim comfortably and unwind there at night while kids were in bed. The owners Brian and Sue were lovely to deal with and made the process and experience so easy. Overall our experience was fantastic and we would definitely recommend this property.

The experience of Beach and Bay starts when you first speak to Brian and Sue - they're friendly and very accommodating (pun intended). They go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your stay. And if you don't enjoy your stay at this place, then I'm afraid you won't like anything in this world, as the place is perfect.
