This property has marvelous views across the dunes and St Andrews Beach. It's quiet, comfortable, private and just down the road from several attractions.

Stunning Property!
Dunes Retreat was more beautiful in real life than in the photos! comfortable beds, clean, tidy and a view to die for!
ONLY thing is, the driveway is incredibly steep and warning should be provided.
Had a beautiful weekend and would recommend it a thousand times over!

Wonderful place!
The house was in immaculately maintained and well equipped, especially the kitchen.
The view from the house was amazing and just standing in the living room, you can just take it all in.
I would say the only down side is there is only one toilet and bathroom and when you have 6 adults staying it is not an ideal situation :)
Otherwise I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be away from the hustle and bustle of city living.

The house was amazing and perfect for a large group! We had such a great time here celebrating my birthday. The house is decorated beautifully and there are plenty of places to sit and relax. We loved sitting at the big dining table too! The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Massive windows everywhere so we could take in the views! Beautiful! All my friends were raving about it. The beach was stunning as well and felt nice to be a little bit isolated (but not too far) from the rest of the Peninsula.
