  • "Breaking waves has obviously been a much loved home and continues to have that vibe."

    Literally on the beach, this lovely property has views and sunsets to die for, no matter what the weather. Our dogs left exhausted from the multiple walks along the beach and fun in the sea and my daughter and I left wishing to return. Sykes need to amend the description to state the parking is at one of the associated garages, not in front of the house itself as the picture suggests, apart from that - perfection!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback following your stay at Breaking Waves. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the property, especially its fantastic beachfront location and those stunning sunsets—it sounds like you made some truly special memories. It’s also lovely to know your dogs had such a great time on the beach, and that you and your daughter left wishing to return. We do apologise for any confusion regarding the parking arrangements, as this appears to have been overlooked. To clarify, I have spoken with Sykes and can confirm there is an allocated parking space in front of the garages, along with free roadside parking nearby. From there, it is just a short walk through the alleyway which brings you directly to our front door. I will also ensure Sykes make the necessary amendments to the listing so this is clearer for future guests. Thank you again for your kind words—we very much hope to welcome you back again in the future! Kind regards, Geoff and Shirley Property Owner

  • "Not only was the property stunning and in an amazing location the hosts Geoff and Shirley could not have made us feel more welcome!"

    The personal touch of meeting them to show us around was very much appreciated and I can not recommend this booking enough, we will be looking to return one day! Can’t thank them enough!

    Thank you so much Carly for your very kind words. It was really nice to meet you and your family and thank you so much for leaving the house so lovely and clean. I really appreciate it. My one regret is that I couldn't fix the weather for you, you certainly had the worst week weather-wise possible. You deserved better. kind regards Geoff and Shirley Property Owner

  • "It was a nice stay."

    The accommodation, a house, was in an excellent location, private and without noise from neighbours, yet a short walk to the pier and town centre. The back patio led down right onto the beautiful clean golden beach, which was fantastic for playing in and lovely beach walks during the week of hot sunshine we had there. The accommodation was as pictured in the photos, with sun umbrellas and chairs and beach towels usefully provided. The house was cheerily bright, comfortable, good wi-fi, largely clean although there were dog hairs on furniture and dog smell lingered, spacious rooms, with enough built-in bedroom wardrobe space. There was neither a cafetiere nor any glass or ceramic serving dishes provided, which would have been helpful. The local area was generally quiet. We parked on-street close by, which was simple. Nice welcome from the owners who showed us around and provided instructions. We did encounter one issue, a curtain rail detached from the wall, about which we communicated to handyman, Phil. He provided clear communication and promptly attended to the job in a friendly manner. Amazing sunsets. A real gem of a place.

    Peaceful, comfortable and spacious accommodation. Close to amenities and to the sandy beach. Good communication and warm welcome from the hosts (and their dog).

    Thank you for your kind words Richard. So glad you enjoyed your stay at Breaking Waves. Property Owner
