Absolutely disgusting
Paid for 2 nights but had to leave after 1 night due to a variety of issues at this property. Hosts were very unhelpful as were Stayz/Vrbo, each palmed us off to each other and after 4 months the issue remains unresolved. We do not recommend anyone stay at this property or use Stayz/Vrbo to book their holiday. Terrible service! Do not waste your money here.

This house and property is very clean, neat and tidy without being precious. It is comfortable and the layout is good. The back garden is delightful and there is space for everyone to find a comfy corner, including the dog.

Paradise beach house
We had a lovely time staying at Sammy’s retreat. The garden was a lovely surprise like a lost forest and it seemed like we were somewhere else. Our pooch Tilly loved exploring the garden. Wish we stayed longer but had to come back to reality. Will book again soon.

Beautiful holiday at Sammy’s Retreat
Me and my family spent a week at Sammy’s Retreat and it was a beautiful, relaxing, peaceful getaway. We needed a break from the world for a bit and got that in the oasis of Sammy’s Retreat. My beautiful dog Ginger loved holidaying with us too❤️

So Clean, all amenities catered, great outdoor spaces and the wood fire in the outdoor room with the fridge and TV was well used. Dogs beds with blanket, toys and welcome biscuits were a lovely addition. Beach was extremely close and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The photos of the gardens don't do it justice, beautifully cared for, tidy and clean. The hosts were great to communicate with and of course our fur baby enjoyed his stay, especially the short walk to the beach and then snoozing in front of the fire.

Anyone can provide clean accommodation but Sammy's Retreat has character and personality as well. The garden was magnificent, the dogs and humans loved it and everything required was there. Overall a fantastic experience. Would recommend highly to any family with dogs. Thanks Anthony and Sammy.

A little getaway with my pup.
Great little holiday house with everything you could want. Lovely back garden and outdoor room. Plenty of places to explore for my dog. Beach very close, which my dog Henry had a ball, free to splash in the water and race along the sand. Recommend bringing most of your food unless you want to pay double for everything at the local IGA.
