The steps were too steep yo even consider staying at the property and they were overgroen and not safe. We didn't even get to check in and booked elsewhere

Everything you needed and more. Spotlessly clean. Lovely outlook. Would have liked to have known there are 3 flights of stairs before we paid in full upfront. Not the best for two 79 year olds and a dog carrying all our gear. But lovely owner.

Tranquility Plus

Throughly enjoyed my 5 day stay with my 11 year old fur baby at the Sea Spray @ Lazy Days on Shaws Bay . The unit is tucked away in a tranquil and relaxing setting and is fitted out with everything you need. It is only a short drive to the off leash dog beach , and all the local attractions. Host Katya was lovely and accomodating nothing was any trouble .

The Jungle Unit

The property is beautifully presented, comfortable bed with quality bed linen, the kitchen is well provisioned & includes a Nespresso machine with pods provided. Very comfortable for 2 adults & our small dog.On the negative the 3 flights of steep stairs were an issue for us but maybe wouldn't bother younger guests, a car space is provided for each unit, however parking is quite difficult & presents some danger entering & leaving on a very busy road. Katya is an excellent host.

Mid Week Stay

The property was very clean & well maintained. Very comfortable for 2 people. As I have arthritis in my back I found the stairs quite difficult to negotiate. Also whilst a rain shower is lovely it is not always convenient to wet your hair every day just to shower maybe a dual purpose shower head would be more appropriate for everyday use. All in all the property was adequate for our 2 night stay. Our host Katya was vey pleaseant & helpful

A little oasis

We loved our stay in the Jungle…it was a little oasis of calm. And as long as you’re all good with a few steps, the short walk to the beach & dog park was so handy. Definitely recommend for a winter escape!
