The Castle is special place - built in the 70's and retaining restored original features, this beach house features retro inspired furnishings, a perfect location, modern comforts, amazing views, a pizza oven + BBQ and games room for the kids (or adults!). The uniqueness of this beach house is obvious - but it is the attention to detail that brings this beach house to life! Overlooking the sea is a generous upper deck, outdoor furniture and gas BBQ, with direct access to the enormous lawn and firepit area.

Or you can go 'straight to the games room' where you'll find a table tennis table, foosball soccer game and darts! Feeling like a homemade pizza? Relax in the garden area which features a custom built BBQ and pizza oven bench. How's the serenity? So much serenity!
