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.

Fantastic stay for two nights as a quiet getaway for the wife and I. The place is lovely as are the views from both decks. Close to shop and reef, was perfect for a kid free escape. Be keen to return again in the future.

Great family home, beautiful and cozy in all weathers

This was our second time spending a few days in Castlepoint at this specific place again it was exactly what we wanted from it. Ample space with great views from the well-equipped property that has a very welcoming feel. Just as last time the house was clean and everything worked as desired. Highly recommended!
