About this property

Cute retro-themed beach shack - 5 mins from the sea

Laid-back 1970s beach shack with the original retro mid-century vibe lovingly retained, but updated to include all the comforts of home.
Go fishing or crabbing in the pristine Gulf St Vincent waters (5 mins walk away), relax on sandy Rogues Point Beach (just down the road) or simply enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch and soak up the ocean view. In winter, gather round the shack's cosy wood-burning heater, or build a bonfire on the beach and gaze at the wheeling stars in the clear dark skies. Please bring your own sheets and towels

Great location, minutes from Ardrossan, close to the sea. House is comfortable and has everything you need. We had a great family Christmas here. Very comfortable beds. Sparrows were a nuisance fighting and destroying each others nests on the verandah at sunup.

The shack was lovely, reminded me of my childhood holidays. It was so quiet and just a stones throw away from the water and Ardrossan for shopping and fishing.

Great little spot.

Great place to stay, easy to talk to the owners. Clean and tidy. The only issues is that the phone service is terrible and the internet service is very limited.
