About this property

SUNBATHERBYTHESEA beautiful private beach front villa. Perfect place for wedding

  • Accommodate up to 23 guests . Relax with the whole family at this peaceful beach front villa with magnificent unobstructed view of the ocean, amazing sunrise, fall sleep with the sound of the waves rushing to the house. Catch as much sun on the lower decks that step down into the sand. Great place for wedding on the lower deck .

I had a great experience staying at this beach house. The location was perfect, just off the beach, making it easy to enjoy the ocean and beautiful views. The house was comfortable, clean, and provided everything needed for a relaxing getaway. The peaceful atmosphere and convenient access to the beach made the stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this beach house to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable vacation experience.

Outstanding location! You walk off the balcony stairs onto the beach. No berms or barriers to go around. The kitchen is excellently stocked with all necessary utensils and dishes. Communication with the host was outstanding. She replied every time within a few minutes. We loved staying here and are already talking about coming back.

Beautiful in every way

My husband and I chose to have our wedding at Sunbather by the Sea and it is the BEST decision we made. The views are absolutely stunning. The house has everything you need to accommodate a large group of family and friends and is just gorgeous. Nancy was extremely communicative, friendly, and thorough.

Family Time

We loved the location, right on the beach. The house had huge bedrooms with plenty of room for children. The air conditioners worked well. The house was very clean and I was able to speak with the host easily. The big room downstairs worked well for family games. The only thing that could be improved would be a larger dining table. We had a good time!

Wedding and Easter

We planned a small wedding and Easter weekend on this property and it was amazing! The owner was very responsive at every text message or email. Property was clean and up to date. No need to bring tables, table cloths or chairs as we were able to rent them there. The view was amazing! Easy access to shops in the area. I would recommend this place to anyone!

We really enjoyed staying at this location. Being right on the beach was very convenient and the weekend we went, it felt like a completely private beach. There weren’t many people around us at all. We also thought that the sleeping arrangements were great for our large group of 20. All the beds and pillows were nice. We enjoyed having 2 fridges also. And I really appreciated that the house was well stocked with toilet paper, dish soap, etc. It made the stay more comfortable and convenient. The host was great to work with. Easy and fast communication. We would happily stay here again!

Best stay ever we’ll be coming back

This was a last-minute mini vacation, and we couldn’t have picked a better spot! The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. We especially loved how easy it was to walk to the beach—the access was super convenient. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, which made for relaxing day and restful night. We slept great and really appreciated the ice-cold air conditioning and the available cleaning tools during our stay. Highly recommend!
