It was a fantastic stay. The property catered for everything a family needs on a holiday. The kids loved the pool and games. The adults loved the pool table. It was close to shops. Thank you for a wonderful stay
House was great and perfect for 3 families. The pool was initially a little dirty as pool filter was not running long enough. I spoke to Jon who responded quickly and all was resolved quite quickly. We enjoyed out stay and would come back again
Property was very clean and had great amenities and facilities for whole family - swimming pool, billiards table, swings, BBQ and plenty of TVs. Recommended if you have young kids. Location was fantastic with supermarket and pharmacy just across the road.
Our extended family group of 11 had a wonderful four day stay at Blue Tide. Jon and Belinda were terrific to deal with and have a beautiful home. They have thought of everything you need for a fabulous stay. Very well appointed kitchen, spacious and comfortable living and dining areas, 4 queen bed rooms and a bunk room for the kids, 3 bathrooms. And so much in-house fun - pool table, loads of games, books, DVDs, X box, Wii and a wonderful outdoor area. Everyone loved the pool, the kids especially spent hours playing in there. The house is in close proximity to shops, supermarket and indoor aquatic centre. The beach is a short drive away. We loved our stay and would do it again in a heart beat. Highly recommend!
We had everything we needed at our fingertips...
The house has endless entertainment if you want to stay in.
Everything you need food and drink wise across the road
Or a short drive or a bit of a walk (if you're keen,) to the beach and main Ocean Grove
We all enjoyed our stay immensely, the house was just perfect!
This house had everything we needed for a family getaway. The kids were never bored and neither were the adults. We will be back!

Wonderful few days spent at the house for family celebration
Thanks for a wonderful few days spent in ocean grove house to celebrate my parents anniversary. With 5 kids under 10 the house had sufficient room for everyone and enough space to be alone if you wanted to. The pool was amazing as it heated to 29 degrees so kids still swam when it wasn’t hot.
What a great property just perfect for a wonderful family holiday ,all family members catered for from 2 to 64 and all ages inbetween will definitely be back thank you jon and Belinda . Jeanette /London
This house was ideal for our family with a large rumpus room complete with toys, a cubby house and a heated pool. There were 2 other spaces where the parents and grandparents could escape when needed! The supermarket and shops across the road were so convenient. The house was lovely and clean and the hosts lovely to deal with
Plenty of room for a large group, we were two families a total of 11 people with older teenagers. Teenagers loved the pool. It is great that it is heated. Big dinner table to accomodate us all is also great.
