Wish we could have stayed longer! Such a great view. Excellent house for a family with adult kids. Gorgeous beach a stones throw from the house. Nice neighborhood. We’ll equipped house. Absolutely loved it! Will go back!
Great house, large, clean and comfortable. We loved the space provided by this generous size family home. With the living and kitchen upstairs there are great views to the horizon and airfield. Really well appointed: the kitchen has everything you need to cook at home, there are board games and books, an outdoor shower provides a great place to rinse off after a visit to the beach and the couches are large and comfortable. May be worth noting for some visitors that the master bedroom upstairs has no door and is adjacent to the living area. Easy walking distance to the beach (unpatrolled and a bit wild) where we discovered the most amazing swimming hole nestled in the rocks!
Staying at Riptide was amazing, the house has beautiful views, great amenities and close proximity to local restaurants and shops. We have stayed here twice and will definitely book it again next year. The communication with the owner is effortless. We would recommend it to our family and friends
Riptide is an extremely clean, comfortable and quiet place to stay within an easy couple of minutes walk to the beach. The large living room windows have a 180 degree view and provide a spectacular view of the sunsets. It was relaxing and fun watching the locals walk and play with their dogs along the airfield runway. We were hoping to see a couple of light planes land or take off, but it wasn’t to be! The house was stocked with everything we needed and we loved the sea theme decor. Highly recommended.
