time travel into an visual artist’s imaginary world
a most wondrous experience of vintage charm! Monica’s apartment is peppered with drop dead gorgeous time pieces from the 50ies to the 70ies that altogether make this place a real gem. If you like colour, charm, charisma and a hint of kitsch, if you love eclectic furniture and value comfort, cosiness and a superb beachside location, Monica’s place is for you. If you prefer sleek minimalist white new apartment uniformity, not so much. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, cooked up a storm in the kitchen, had many a vinos by the pool, borrowed a bicycle and even received fresh flowers and lemons off the tree. Loved every minute. Thank you Monica - a place to make memories. Can’t wait to come back.

GREAT HOSTESS, lovely atmosphere
Just 2 streets from the beach, quiet street, peaceful atmosphere. Walking distance to food & other shops. Just PERFECT for our Easter break. Highly recommend our hostess who made sure nothing was amiss... including the bath lotion! We'll be back!

Bliss in Semaphore
Staying in Semaphore is always such a pleasant trip back in time; so much evidence of its glorious past remains on show. This house is an ideal base for a nostalgic seaside Semaphore experience in terms of both location and decor. Only around the corner from both the beach and the delights of Semaphore Rd, this home is ideally situated. And the quirky retro decor throughout the property was so much fun to discover. Monica was an outstanding host. She couldn't have done more or gone out of her way more to look after and accommodate us. Nothing was too much trouble and we are very grateful. The outside/pool area was such a great space for relaxing and entertaining. Highly recommended. We can't wait to come back!

Perfect getaway - brilliant location
We loved our time at the "Sea Retro Getaway" It was exactly what we needed. A place to just chill out and slow down. Everything we needed was only just a short walk away. The pool area was perfect to relax and put your feet up. Monica was only to pleased to help with what ever questions we had. I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
