A great option in Castlepoint

A great spot to recharge. We normally stay 10 mins out of Castlepoint, and really appreciated being able to walk to the beach and shops. Could have spent hours on the decks... In summary a great location in a great town. Also a quick plug for the pub. Worth the drive for lunch or dinner. Or both.

Extensive views

We absolutely loved this property. It has extensive views with a choice of 2 decks, both sheltered and we were very pleased to be able to holiday with our dog. She was very pleased too. The house is well appointed and comfortable and it felt like a home away from home. Thank you for sharing your holiday home with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
