Barefoot To The Beach – Just 150m From St Francis Bay’s Main Beach

Exclusive Mandate - There are certain properties that simply feel like St Francis. Relaxed, a little different and made for long summers by the sea.

Just 150m from Main Beach, this character filled property has been run as an established guesthouse for more than 25 years, but there is so much more to it than that. With generous accommodation, wonderful entertaining spaces and a beautiful established garden, it has all the ingredients of an incredible family beach house where there is room for everyone.

The property is made up of two dwellings, with eight en suite bedrooms in the main section and a further three en suite bedrooms set across the garden. Each bedroom has its own private outdoor space, with several also enjoying outdoor showers. The layout works beautifully for extended families and visiting friends, while still giving everyone their own space and privacy.

At the heart of the property is a wonderfully relaxed Caribbean style living and entertainment area. The lounge and dining spaces open onto a large covered deck overlooking the swimming pool and lush gardens. A pool bar and braai area add to the easy holiday atmosphere, while the central log fireplace brings warmth and character during the cooler months.

The established gardens are a real feature of the property. Green, private and sheltered, they connect the different areas of the property and create a lovely sense of escape. And then there is the location. Main Beach is quite literally a few minutes away on foot, while the village, restaurants and everyday conveniences of St Francis Bay are all close by. Leave the car at home, grab a towel and walk to the beach.

For those drawn to its hospitality history, the property is sold fully furnished and equipped and has an established operating history, existing staff and tour operator relationships, together with a renewable annual liquor licence.

For others, it may simply be the opportunity to own a wonderfully different St Francis beach house. Somewhere with enough space for children, grandparents, friends and all the people who inevitably arrive when you have a home this close to the beach.

A property with history, character and plenty of possibilities, in a position that is very hard to beat.
