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 .

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!

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.

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 booked this house for my Gender Reveal with my family. IT WAS AN UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE! House is beautiful, starting from the area of the beach, the house structure & the large porch outside with lots of table space. The rooms are spacious, very comfortable & home is equiped with many things! My whole family enjoyed this stay. The host was fabulous, very flexible & very communicative. I would definitely come back in a heartbeat here.

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!

Amazing home with the best ocean view! The host was very nice and quickly to respond. We had no issues at all staying here for our son’s graduation get-together. The home was very spacious and we loved how almost every room had their own restroom. The downstairs was perfect to host events and it already had tables and chairs to use. We also loved that it had 2 refrigerators. & It was super clean! Our family left wanting to come back to this house on our next gathering. The views were just breath-taking! Nancy was such a great host!
