Fantastic little beach house.
Great location with stunning views.
The property has all you need for a lovely stay in Seal Rocks.
Huge deck with plenty of chairs and tables to enjoy a meal or relax. Spectacular views.
The kitchen is well equipped, washing machine and plenty of room to relax.
Enjoyable stay! Definitely be back!
Property had everything you need but the view from, and size of, the front deck is spectacular. Only downside was parking which was available but awkward especially for two vehicles. Property managers were excellent to deal with.
We loved our stay at Briesta! The location is the best; quiet, amazing ocean views, north-facing sunshine and private and quiet.The kitchen while old is perfectly supplied with all the cooking items we needed including modern oven and cook top.Comfy beds and lots of blankets.My tip for the owners/managers would be to supply an outside umbrella for the deck (my guess is guests have damaged them in the past, but I’ll bring my own next time!).We hope Seal Rocks stays quiet forever and escape the developers gaze. Thank you for keeping the house quaint and original!!
