What our other guests had to say
Our group of 5 families had another wonderful stay at the Big Bach - our fourth annual holiday group trip here. Always loads of space for all the adults and kids, wonderful beach access and extra large kitchen. We loved the new decor, games room and spa. Will definitely be back next summer!
Paula
What an amazing place to stay. The seaviews are to picture perfect. Kelly is a wonderful Host. The communication, excellent. Everywhere sparkling clean. All in all just a wonderful place to relax. (One could almost be on an island on the front deck.)

“Thanks Big Bach for the upgrades you’ve done. We’ve stayed here several times and were blown away by the work you’ve done on each room. We loved using the new spa and the kids spent the whole weekend playing in the new games room.”
