We just had our third stay at this property, and it was amazing once again! The location is perfect—close to the beach, pub, and supermarkets, making everything convenient for a relaxing holiday. The kids absolutely loved the garden and trampoline, and there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy some peace or gather together for fun. We couldn’t ask for a better spot to unwind. We’ll definitely be back!
We had a wonderful time away. Everything that would ever possibly need was at our fingertips. The trampoline was so much fin for the kids. Would book here again.
This is the 2nd time we stayed at this great place and once more had a fabulous time. Our teenagers stayed in the back house and enjoyed some privacy and the younger kids loved the trampoline. The house is very close to the beach and has everything you need and more. We will be back.
We loved our stay at this house in Ocean Grove! There is a great trampoline the kids loved, in the yard. Multiple living areas worked well with the kids. Well stocked kitchen. We had 2 families and didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Highly recommend!
My first Stayz experience, and despite an information mistake by me at the start, Andrew Lucas was personally so helpful to me in getting it sorted. He was great over the whole process. A nice experience all round for my visiting son and family for the airshow, a very homely house, loved our stay.
We had an amazing time. 2 families with 5 kids and plenty of space to have some peace when needed. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were clean and comfortable. We walked to the beach everyday and also enjoyed the closeness to the Ocean Grove Hotel and to the shopping strip. The trampoline was a big hit.
We had a amazing stay here. As a mother I was able to relax with the fully enclosed yard, knowing the kids were safe to play outside. Short walk to beach and supermarket.
Plenty of space and everything you need to have a fun and relaxing holiday for the whole family, young and old. We are already considering coming here again in the warmer months :)
My family and I loved our Ocean Groove stay. I highly recommend it to families with pets or without. The house was spotless, smelt clean and the yard is beautiful. It's got everything you could ever require for a family trip away. It's in a great spot with beach, shops and pub all close. A big thank you to Andy and Emma who made the trip away so easy and enjoyable
Great home to stay in with extended family and kids. Lots of space for everyone to sleep, lots of games, balls games and activities for adults and kids alike. Lovely homely feel in the house and great location for beach walks and visits.
Great weekend away had by all!
The property was amazing. The separated unit situation worked great with our group as it allowed a separate hideaway for more quite activities. The location was beautiful, and it was roughly a 20-30 minute walk into town depending on your determination
We had a wonderful weekend with our kids fir my birthday.
Ocean Groove is clean, spacious and has everything you need for a family!
Lovely private, sheltered yard for enjoying the sunshine. And only a short walk to the beach.
Hosts were so lovely and replied to any queries quickly.
Would definitely recommend!
This house was perfect for us. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed and is really well set up for families with children. Many thanks to the owners for the great communication too, we’d definitely love to stay again!
Good location for a 5min walk to the beach and a nice little house with plenty of sleeping options. Was a little bit dirtier than expected - mainly the couch and mattress protector which didn’t smell pleasant at all. Great heating for colder months. Thanks for having us!
Had a short getaway with two families. The house is spacious enough for 10 ppl and a dog. The front yard is very kids and dog friendly yet private, the kitchen isn't shiny new but it's very organized and tidy that provided everything we needed. The location of the house is close to the beach but unfortunately the weather wasn't quite nice for outdoor activities this weekend. But we enjoyed every seconds in the house by playing boardgames and chatting with friends, or sometimes just laying on the couch taking a nap, got an easy relaxation anywhere around the house. Will definitely try to book again for our next visit to Ocean Grove. Many thanks to the owner!
This property is very well equipped with everything you need for the family. The house is spacious and the bed is very comfortable. Communication with the owner is very clear. Look forward to going back again in the near future
Was the best stay, house was even better then expected
