When we all look for holiday accommodation that involves a beach holiday, we want one that has direct beach access (if possible), spacious, with stunning views where we can look and hear the sounds of the waves pounding on the shore.
A cosy home where we can come back to in the evening, or just a place to stay during the day, relax with a book and cup of coffee, or have an afternoon nap.
Did I mention a glass of wine and cheese in the evening on the balcony!

Denham's Beach Retreat, a contemporary spacious 3-bedroom holiday villa which overlooks charming Denham’s Beach, which is regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches on the South Coast, An added and special feature of Denhams Beach is that pods of dolphins can frequently be seen.
See below for a list of activities that you can do- if you want to venture further and come back to your home in the evening.
You get to experience ever changing vistas of the ocean from your balcony, living areas and kitchen.
You look out across the ocean to the Tollgate Islands, with an added bonus of having a beautiful nature reserve in front of you with large spotted gum trees- and if you are a family, you are able to watch the children play cricket, football or ride their bike, as you relax on your balcony, and not to have to worry what they are doing.
There are 2 pathways that lead you down to Denhams Beach - less than a 2-minute walk, with no roads to cross.
You not only have Denham’s Beach to enjoy and frolic in the water, but you are able to walk around to Surf Beach, which is patrolled in summer and has a play area for the small ones, whilst you enjoy a coffee. Wimbe Beach adjoins Surf Beach, with this beach having no waves, so suitable for the tiny tots. Just a beautiful beach walk around the three beaches, and all on your doorstep.
Enjoy an early morning walk along the beaches or have a swim before having breakfast on your balcony. Pods of dolphins are often seen swimming across the water and is a treat to see, not only for children, but adults alike.
We have the little extras that may make it easier if traveling with an infant: Port-a-cot (need to bring your own linen) and a highchair.
