Oscar's by the Sea, Bangor, County Down

With breath-taking views directly over the sea, we are proud to introduce Oscar's by the Sea. Completely renovated over the last few years, this Victorian townhouse offers ample space throughout. 6 bedrooms, one family bathroom, 3 shower cubicles (one of which is ensuite) and a downstairs toilet. Large kitchen/diner and utility room with washer/dryer and lounge/diner. Retaining much of its original Victorian charm, this property is beautifully furnished to offer complete comfort for all your needs. Step out of the door and directly onto the coastal path or simply try one of the many coffee shops or restaurants, all within walking distance. You will be spoilt for choice ...

So much for the children to enjoy, including Pickie Fun Park, Bangor Aurora Leisure Centre, Bangor Cinema or the local beaches at Skippingstone or Ballyholme ALL within a short walk.

Belfast City airport is approximately 20 minutes away by car or train, and Belfast International is 40 minutes away by car. Rail links from Bangor to Belfast are accessible so why not explore the Titanic Quarter, Cathedral Quarter or Victoria Square, Belfast for some shopping? Trains also operate from Belfast to Dublin. We look forward to welcoming you.

Perfect Location/Gorgeous view

We were looking for a place to stay and host extended family. Oscar by the Sea was perfect! Conveniently located, well appointed, with comfy beds and a great view. We enjoyed walks on the seawall, visiting Ward park and hosting family. Good restaurants and coffee shops near by. Hosts were easy to work with and very accommodating.

Great property close to the marina

We were sailing in the Bangor Regatta so the location was perfect being close to the marina. We were a group of eight singles and in the VRBO listing it stated eight beds (six double and two single) but found there to be one double short. On speaking with Chris & Sara they were not aware of the error in the VRBO site (now amended)as it had not been an issue in the past. Chris sorted it out and delivered a bed round so it was not a problem. The property has great views and was very roomy and comfortable. We had a wonderful stay and Chris and Sara could not have been more helpful.

The property had plenty of space for our 2 families with a total of 8 adults. The coastal walking path was beautiful. There are plenty of lovely cafes nearby.
