    Exactly as described, full size home with water glimpses and a bbq to use on the upper deck. A moderate walk along the beach and through suburbs to a fantastic restaurant, cafe, and craftwork precinct. A fair price for a fair home.

    May 23 Glenda

    This was a lovely place to stay, very comfortable and clean. When we arrived the cleaning hadn't been done from the previous guests due to a simple mix up. The speed and wonderfully efficient way in which they rectified this is the mark of an excellent host and a well run Airbnb. I would definitely recommend this house. Lovely for a getaway close to the beach. Beautiful

    Stones Throw Sept 23

    Location is tops. Being on 1st floor you get full sun and it really is just a few houses back from the beach. Had the fire going at night when the weather wasn't playing ball. And most of all - dog friendly

    Sian's house on Ruby Bay was exactly what my mom and I were looking for on this trip. We loved the location of the home and the views of the beach, it was the perfect beach house. We especially loved the big doors that opened the whole house up. Everyone was extremely friendly in town and we thoroughly enjoyed beach combing and watching all the lovely dogs walking with their owners on the stretch of beach. 10/10

    Great a beautiful spot to stay in Ruby Bay. We had an about 30 second walk from the door to the beach to watch the sunrises over the mountains across the water. A short drive to Mapua Wharf for restaurants. Great space and would love to stay again.
