Would happily stay again
My girlfriends and I enjoyed a really lovely relaxing stay at Oceanside Haven. The location is perfect and the house is very comfortable. Amazing cushions as well! Our only suggestion for a more perfect holiday house would be if an information pack was provided about the house and how to operate things such as the coffee machine, what do with the bins, tv/streaming info, etc. we did work it all out, but it may have helped. Cheers!

Quiet location
After a couple of teething problems, which were expeditiously sorted by the property manager, we had a lovely stay. The fire provided warmth and ambience, there was a nice view of the wetlands and the kitchen caught any sun on offer.
