The accommodation was large, clean, and part of a larger, beautiful property. We had everything we needed. Communication with the host was fantastic. The location was within easy drive to the beautiful Dudley beach and to restaurants and pubs.The only critique was that the place was a little dated and the view was slightly obscured by a fence. However, you could still see through the fence to the beautiful view.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Souris

Host profile image
I’m a retired shopkeeper and I enjoy being a Superhost because I appreciate people from all walks of life.

Why they chose this property

I built on this virgin block of land in 1982 because my wife and I were instantly attracted to the Pacific Ocean and the forest in the foreground. The seclusion by having such an expansive “backyard”, and being a significant distance from the road and footpath. Peaceful.

What makes this property unique

- Two specific car parks available for Guests.
- A spacious home.
- Privacy.
- A wonderful view of the ocean.
- Spaces for children to play ball games.
- A two meter high brick fence which helps to keep a ball within the boundary.
- Gardens and an outdoor fishpond.
