Fantastic location, excellent amenities, great value.

Everything to do with our stay at this beautiful house was a pleasure, from the initial communication after we made the booking, to questions being answered promptly. Then, when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at how huge and spacious the home is. The furnishings are great, it has a very beachy feel. Very nice pool and yard area, and literally less than two minutes walk to the beach. We will definitely come again.

Wonderful view and location, with great facilities. Noisy floorboards.

The recommendation would be a yes, and a no. There is so much that is good and wonderful about this house. The one thing that truly was not good is the noise levels and creaking floor between the top and the bottom floor. I wish it weren't so, as I'd be back in a heartbeat were it not for this. Half of us slept in the bottom rooms and had very interrupted sleep. The creaking of the floors with any movement upstairs is so amplified that you cannot sleep through it. It's sadly not restful for those sleeping at the bottom, and stressful for those sleeping on the top floor because half of the household is not getting a good night's rest, something you certainly hope for when going on holiday. I ended up sleeping on the couch, and my husband almost went to sleep in the car. Our recommendation would be insulation between the top and bottom floors to negate this. I would like to add that the service was excellent when the gas ran out, and we were helped almost immediately. Thank you.

Dear Charlene

Thank you for coming to stay and I am sorry the floorboards were noisy for you.

Atlantic Dream is a Cape Cod-styled wooden house with beautiful wooden floorboards and so it is recommended that people upstairs are considerate and remove their shoes and move about in socks, slippers or barefoot. This is a common practice in wooden houses wherever they may be. As the house is only rented to one party at a time, a simple request to other members of the party to be considerate while moving about at night should suffice.

Location is amazing, facilities perfect. Had the most amazing weekend.

It is like being in a small town away from everything, we walked up the road and bought freshly baked croissants for breakfast and swam in the sea at sunset - bliss.

Rustige verblyf naby die see. Ruim huis met groot swembad.

Die huis is gerieflik en naby die swemstrand. Goed toegerus maar onderhoud kort bietjie aandag. Goeie kommunikasie vanaf die eienaar tydens ons verblyf. Dankie John.

Quiet accommodation near the sea. Spacious house with large pool.

The house is comfortable and close to the swimming beach. Well equipped but maintenance needs some attention. Good communication from the owner during our stay. Thanks John.

Ek dink nie een van my vriende gaan weer saam met my op vakansie wil gaan nie.

Al lekkerte van die huis was dat dit naby die see was, maar beddens was baie ongemaklik. Ons en ons vriende het nie lekker geslaap nie en die huis lyk of dit bietjie meer maintenance nodig het. Vriende onder kon nie slaap nie agv die mense wat bo kuier en heeltyd loop want die vloer raas. Ek stel voor mense wat laat gaan slaap moet maar onder slaap en onder kuier. Gordyn in een kamer was stukkend toe ons daar aankom so die bure se ligte het heeltyd in kamer in geskyn. Die badkamer bo se water het in die onderste kamer in gelek en van die ligte in die huis het nie gewerk nie. Die krag het getrip en ons kon nie die DB bord op spoor nie, eers na lang soek in die donker het ons dit agter 'n skildery gevind. Die bure langs aan se seuns het heeltyd bal geskop in die straat en het die bal op ons karre geskop. Die een seun was later binne in ons tuin om sy bal te kry sonder dat ons weet. Het my byna lam geskrik toe ek die seun in die bos sien. Moes hulle later streng aanspreek om op te hou speel in die straat, nie een van hulle het eens omverskoning gevra nie. Ongelukkig sien Atlantic Dream ons nie weer in die toekoms nie.

I don't think any of my friends are going to want to go on vacation with me again.

All the beauty of the house was that it was close to the sea, but the beds were very uncomfortable. We and our friends did not sleep well and the house looks like it needs a little more maintenance. Friends downstairs could not sleep because of the people who hang out upstairs and walk all the time because the floor is noisy. I suggest people who go to bed late should just sleep downstairs and socialize downstairs. Curtain in one room was broken when we got there so the neighbours' lights were constantly shining into the room. The upstairs bathroom was leaking into the downstairs room and some of the lights in the house were not working. The power tripped and we couldn't locate the DB board, only after a long search in the dark we found it behind a painting. The neighbors next door's sons kept kicking the ball in the street and kicked the ball at our cars. The one boy was later inside our garden to get his ball without us knowing. Almost scared me when I saw the boy in the woods. Later had to sternly address them to stop playing in the street, none of them even apologised. Unfortunately, Atlantic Dream does not see us again in the future.

Dear Ansuli,

I am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay.

The house has wonderful atmospheric wooden and laminated floors. As you had the entire house to yourselves, perhaps you could have arranged the sleeping quarters with more regard to noise.

All our beds are equipped with Sealy Posturepedic mattresses, 200 thread count linen, standard anti allergenic pillows and duvets, so am at a loss to explain why the beds were uncomfortable.

All details to contact our staff in Scarborough or myself were provided to you in various communications including email, Whatsapp and the info booklet in the house. It would have been simple to contact us to inquire as to the location of the electricity board, also detailed in the house info booklet on the kitchen counter, to have the curtain fixed and the light bulbs that were broken replaced. We would have had someone on site within minutes.

We pay attention to the maintenance and cleanliness of the house on a daily basis.

I am sorry that water leaked from the upstairs bathroom. We will have it attended to immediately.

The trespass by the neighbour's son is completely unacceptable and I will contact them to ensure this does not happen again.

Regards,
John

Atlantic Dream Beachfront Villa was really a dream in many ways.

We want to thank the owner John of Atlantic Dream Beachfront Villa for his kindness. Nothing was ever too much to make us feel comfortable and right at home. My family and I had an absolute amazing time, the villa is beautiful, it's spacious and caters to all your holiday needs! It is clean and very well decorated. The beds were so comfortable, we slept like babies. We could hear the ocean clearly, especially at night time. It is well located and we felt safe at all times. We loved the entertainment area where we spent hours playing pool, table tennis and darts! We definitely recommend this stay to other people and we will go back in the summer time.

Alles verskaf was skoon, netjies, en die gemak van so naby die mooi see was net perfek.

Ons kon ook ons twee honde saamvat, met geen plek vir hulle om die erf te verlaat nie wat my gemaklik heel naweek laat voel het. Hulle nes ons het die groot spasie voluit geniet.

Everything provided was clean, tidy, and the comfort of being so close to the beautiful sea was just perfect.

We were also able to take our two dogs with us, with no place for them to leave the yard which made me feel comfortable all weekend. They, like us, enjoyed the big space to the fullest.

Ons het die ruskans in hierdie heerlike huis baie geniet.

Die huis is baie goed toegerus en daar is baie dinge om te doen by die huis as die weer buite of op die strand onplesierig is. My kinders was gaande oor die tafeltennis, pooltafel en veerpyltjies. Dit was baie koud, maar al die kamers het verwarmers en die ingeboude kaggel maak die hoofleefareas baie lekker warm. Die blitsvinnige WiFi was ook 'n wenner, want ek moes tussendeur werk en die kinders kon flieks op hulle fone en tablette kyk.

We really enjoyed the break in this lovely house.

The house is very well equipped and there are many things to do at the house if the weather outside or on the beach is unpleasant. My children raved about the table tennis, pool table and darts. It was very cold, but all the rooms have heaters and the built-in fireplace makes the main living areas very nice and warm. The lightning fast WiFi was also a winner, because I had to work in between and the kids could watch movies on their phones and tablets.

We really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely consider booking again.

The only issue I had was that 10:00 in the morning is a bit early to book out.

Atlantic Dream Beachfront Villa 's response

Dear Tina,
Thank you for your review and stay.
Our checkout time is 10:30 if there are other people arriving to stay on the day you checkout. This is to give us time to prepare the house for the new guests who are allowed to check in from 1400. This was the case when you stayed. If there are no guests checking in, late checkout (by 1400) is always allowed at no extra charge.

Regards
John

Familie-vakantie

Wij waren met onze familie, 8 personen, in de villa. Zeer ruim, de kamers (iedere kamer had een eigen badkamer), de lounge, het terras boven. Makkelijke stoelen en ligbedden. Ook veel ruimte beneden, nog een terras met eet-set, een tuin naast het zwembad, waar je op het gras kon liggen, met ook wat schaduw. Leuke spel-kamer met dart-spel en pool-tafel enz. Heel geschikt voor een groep/familie. Wel wat verouderd, zeker de keuken. Ligging vlakbij strand, niet echt geschikt om te zwemmen en zonnen, maar wel om even heen te lopen. Ook paar restaurantjes en winkeltje vlakbij. Rustige buurt. Wel wat ver van Kaapstad. Wij waren erg blij met Salie, de manager. Hij zorgde ervoor dat alles weer netjes was als we terugkwamen. Hij zorgde voor het zwembad, hij loste een probleempje met de douche diezelfde dag nog op. Top!

Family vacation

We were with our family, 8 people, in the villa. Very spacious, the rooms (each room had its own bathroom), the lounge, has a terrace upstairs. Easy chairs and sunbeds. Also a lot of space downstairs, another terrace with dining set, a garden next to the swimming pool, where you could lie on the grass, with some shade as well. Nice games room with darts game and pool table etc. Very suitable for one group/family. Well how outdated, certainly the kitchen. Location close to the beach, not really suitable for swimming and sunbathing, but for walking around. Also a few restaurants and a shop nearby. Quiet neighborhood. Well, how far from Cape Town. We were very happy with Salie, the manager. He made sure that everything was tidy again when we came back. He took care of the pool, he solved a problem with the shower the same day. Top!

Fantastic getaway. Everything you need in a beautiful setting. No sea view, although the house is located in Strand street.

Fantastic stay with everything needed. There are a few things that need attention, eg the braai place on the ground floor is out of order, so no braai facilities if it rains. There is also no sea view, as the bushes on the dunes in front of the house completely block the view. If I had known this, I might have booked another house with a sea view. Still had a great time. Scarborough and the house are beautiful!

Atlantic Dream is a beautiful house, well equipped, with everything in good working order, ideally positioned and pet friendly, which was a huge bonus.

We had a wonderful winter stay at Atlantic Dream. Everything was in good working order and the house was tastefully decorated. The kids were kept busy in the games room, our dog enjoyed long walks on the beach and we explored the hiking trails in the vicinity and relaxed in the winter sun on the lovely wooden deck. It was amazing to see the stars so bright at night, possibly because there were no streetlamps. I think it is a lovely seaside village, unpretentious and down to earth. An extra bonus was the availability of daily service, which will be especially helpful with a bigger group and in summer. We would like to visit Atlantic Dream in summer time as well.
