About this property

Onshore Retreat, Middleton (sleeps 12)

We'd love to welcome you to our luxury 5 bedroom beach house in Middleton. It has everything you need for a well-deserved family holiday.

Sleeping 12 (up to 8 adults & 4 children) with all the comforts of home. Bring your friends, grab your board and hit the surf then rinse off under the solar-heated, outdoor shower when you return.

It's a short stroll to the beach where you might like to book a surf lesson or just soak up the sun. Although, we think you'll find it hard to drag yourself away from the view from the balcony!

You'll have full use of the 5 bedroom house and fully-enclosed, large back yard.

The beds will be made prior to your arrival and bath towels are provided.

Other items available for your use: BBQ, slow cooker, rice cooker & electric frying pan.

Perfect Xmas Getaway

High expecations on this one & it totally delivered! Ages ranging from 9yo to 70+ & we all loved it. Booking was easy, communication friendly, cleanliness of property was great, location PERFECTION!!! This is the kind of property you can be happy to hang out in and feels like a holiday, rather than treating it as 'just somewhere to sleep'. We really hope to return for another holiday soon! Thank you!
