Life’s A Beach

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Perfect little studio for a quiet or romantic get away. Although there are no sea views from the studio, you are only steps from the sea itself and the place is so clean and well organised that it feels like home. Our host (Ilana) was super responsive and kind. We will definitely be back again to enjoy the sunset in Scarbs.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. It has a nice interior, is well equipped and in a very good condition. It is close to the beach and there are also a lot of beach toys for children. Catherine and Michelle have always been helpful, friendly and generous and gave us good tips about the surroundings. Thanks for the pleasant stay!

Beach apartment on top.

SophiaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Lieze is a lovely human being. The flat is private, has a great view and peaceful surroundings. You do climb a lot of stairs for that view, but she says so in the discription, just keep that in mind. For the first time in years I saw the Milkyway from the deck, magic!! It is 20 minutes drive from George if you need specifics in the grocery department. O would love to visit again!!

Right on the beach in Palm Beach

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Absolutely beautiful location, perfect for a quiet relaxing break. The flat was clean, spacious & private. You can sit inside & look over the ocean or outside on the patio with palm trees and a tropical garden around you, always listening to the sea and the birds. I loved the outside shower to wash the sand off or just cool down. Lesley was lovely and very welcoming and accommodating and can give great recommendations for a day out. There is a quiet beach across the road with a tidal pool and a small convenience shop with friendly staff & a laundromat a 2 minute walk away. I would definitely stay again! Highly recommended.

The Beach House- Jacobs Bay - on the beach

HughanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had an amazing stay at The Beach House! The views were absolutely breathtaking, with the beach visible from almost every corner of the house. Falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up to the fresh sea breeze made it such a relaxing getaway. The house itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. It was also a big bonus that it’s pet-friendly—our dog loved having the space to roam, which isn’t always easy to find. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. We’ll definitely be back!

Damara Tern self catering.

Keisha-AnnRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Corna was extremely hospitable and responsive. It was a delight for us to stay by the ocean and hear the ocean, which is one of the best things in the world for me. The children enjoyed playing in the sea, and I enjoyed being able to wake early and sit by the water, while my sister enjoyed sitting by the seaside and watching the sun set. We regret not staying longer. The housekeeper was also very pleasant and wellmannered.

Sea Renity

LindaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Firstly, no words could ever describe this home & how beautiful it is! Linda definitely deserves more than 5 stars. What a superb home! Literally has everything you could eeever imagine you need. Literally. The pool table, indoor braai, the pool & it's changing colours were our top highlights. We swam till 2am on some nights! The water feels warmer once you dip in. Every single day was perfect. The ocean view is beyond spectacular!! The house is squeaky clean and spacious and has all the entertainment one could need. Board games, Apple TV..etc. What a truly beautiful week we had! What a warm and lovely person Linda and her husband are. They offered us a tour of the home just a few days before check in and made us feel right at home the moment we stepped into the house!! They even allowed us an early check in on the day which helped us maximise on settling in and enjoying Searenity. By far the best home out there. What an inspiration & a true display of passionate & professional hosting

Oceans End - a home on the beach

BenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Simply lovely stay, right on the beach. Peaceful and quiet surroundings, so we were really able to relax. We felt safe and secure. Lovely to sit on the deck, seeing the sun go down over the sea. It is a pity we could only stay 2 nights, we are planning to come back for a longer stay. Highly recommended!

I booked Glen's place for the weekend, for me & my family who were visiting from Joburg. The place was very clean. The view of the beach is extremely beautiful, we probably spent 90% of the time there just looking outside while people were surfing, fishing & cycling. The building is very quiet making it the perfect place to find relaxation, the street is filled with nearby stores and restaurants to enjoy.

Beach Front Bliss

KimRating, 5 stars3 months ago
It’s my second time staying at Lara’s place and as before, I was very pleased. The apartment is right on the promenade. This is perfect for a quick swim or walk on the beach and right behind Sea point Main Road, which has many of the finest restaurants in Cape Town. The apartment itself, compared to many other CPT apartments is much bigger, which is why I love it so much! Lara was away with work and her dad Roy, which my husband and I had met previously, hosted for the time of our stay. Roy was absolutely amazing and made us feel so welcome! He truly made sure we felt secure and checked in to see if we needed anything. His family also has many businesses which include quad biking (which we did with some friends), horse riding and paint ball. The day out at the quad biking at the wine farm was definitely the most fun day I had in CPT. Overall, I could not recommend Lara’s place enough! I cannot wait to return.
