A contemporary home with a pool a minute from Camps Bay Beach
The Best holiday home! We have owned it for 17 years now and whilst our lives have changed with the addition of young children to our family, our holidays have just got better every year. The house is very large with about 250 M2 of space internally and a different balcony or patio for each day of the week! Its perfect for entertaining or just chilling out! Downstairs there are two lounges, one with the TV and DVD set up, the other based around a fireplace with the dining room leading off behind. The kitchen is fully fitted and has a breakfast bar area as well. The master bedroom is huge with a sumptuous en suite bathroom, there is another two en-suite bedrooms and then two shared bathrooms for the third double and twin bedded room. Outside, the ten metre pool has has a grass surround at the lower lever with the larger larger upper level laid as patio for barbecues, eating outdoors or just enjoying the beautiful sunsets! Plus an auto-double garage and full security ADT throughout. The new water restrictions for Camps Bay and the whole city mean that we ask all guests to adhere to the rules in place at the time of your holiday. Everyone is having to do their bit at this difficult time until a long term solution can be found but we have found so far that guests have been able to enjoy their holidays and understand the problem and enjoy trying to help.
Bedroom no 5: We are now able to offer the house as a five bedroom house which can sleep 12 adults or children plus the additional use of a travel cot. The great thing about it is that the house is big enough to accommodate this number thanks to its huge living areas both inside and outside the house. The prices we advertise however do not include the use of the 5th bedroom because we know that the average number of guests is between 4-8 people and so to assume parties of 12 would make it too expensive for for smaller groups to consider. So if you require a big house for family or friends this is definitely for you! To explain fully, the 'new' 5th bedroom used to be the maids room, accessed only from the rear patio but it now has direct access from the breakfast room. So while it has its own ensuite shower room (the 5th bathroom in the house) it would be the only room without direct views of either the sea or the mountain. But it remains a decent double bedroom so please don't be put off using it.
Lastly - security. It is a question we are often asked but we are lucky to benefit from these features at the house:
1. Alarm system with armed response ADT 2. Neighborhood watch response 3. CCTV – exterior only 4. Electric fence on front wall 5. LCD intercom system 6. High security door locks on main entrance and exit doors

A great stay in Camps Bay
We had a great stay at this property in camps bay. The location is great and only a short walk from the bars and restaurants. The house itself is large and we used it to capacity (9 adults, 3 children and an infant!). The rooms vary in size with the downstairs rooms being quite snug and more suitable to single sleepers or children. Some of the furniture was a little worn or broken (fridge drawers) but the house was functional and kitchen well equipped. The communication in the run up and during the stay was fantastic. We asked for a Christmas tree to be put up and an additional cot and these requests were fulfilled without quibble. Philly is lovely, knowledgeable and was always on hand to assist once we checked in. The pool is great and refreshing on a hot SA day. One thing i would say is that there is no air con at this property which can be challenging overnight when the temperatures soar. Fans are provided in some rooms.All in all a great stay and decent value. Thank you.

A lovely stay in Camps Bay
It’s a really lovely house, pool is great, lovely and warm. Philly is fabulous. The road is located so close to Camps Bay beach but because it’s not on the main drag you wouldn’t know it, it’s really quiet - so super location. The house has all most modern conveniences, and is very secure. A few things that would make a dramatic improvement, is aircon in the bedrooms, it’s just too hot upstairs. Blackout blinds as you do find yourself waking up very early even with eye patches, and the patio doors to the master bedroom when it’s windy and it’s frequently windy, making it hard to sleep, even with ear plugs. Finally the TV sofa probably needs new cushions to sit on! But these are all relative because we had a wonderful time!

Central location
We travelled as a group of 7. The location was very central and the Uber rides were cheap to get anywhere. The property manager was friendly and knowledgeable. We had no power for one day. But when we discussed it with Philly, the issue was remedied. Overall a nice spacious property.

Amazing!
This place has everything you'd want from a Camps Bay house- lovely (very big!) house with great rooms, excellent views from multiple balconies and terraces, a lovely pool and it's only about 5 minutes walk away from the main strip in Camps Bay. We had a group of 11 with little kids and teenagers and everyone loved the house, with ample space for us all to spread out without getting into each other's hair. They also have a solution for the issue of load-shedding, which means that apart from not being able to use the electric cooker, the house (and wifi) were able to keep going through the electricity cuts.
All in all this was an excellent place to stay and I'll definitely be back!

spacious comfortable home with stunning view in a convenient, safe area
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this clean, comfortable house with the bonus of a pool to cool down in at the end of a day of touring lovely Cape Town. Housekeeper Philomina kept everything in order, which made our holiday even more relaxing. Thank you to all!

Outstanding!
Just finished our week’s holiday at Ocean Sweep. It is a fabulous family home with everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing multi-generational family trip. The house is really spacious and well appointed with wonderful views over the bay.
There are lots of lovely sitting areas and a great pool so everyone can find the space to relax or be together as the mood takes them.
If you want to eat in, it has everything you need but if you prefer to dine out it’s only a short walk down to the buzzing strip of Camps Bay which is full of lively and delicious restaurants.
Camps Bay makes an excellent base for visiting Cape Town and the surrounding areas.
We were really well looked after by the delightful Philomena who couldn’t have been nicer. Charl was also brilliant and sorted any problems out immediately (of which there were only a couple of small ones like a temperamental safe!).
I would recommend this house to anyone and would definitely come again.

A modern comfortable house with amazing views
We stayed for 6 nights as a group of seven adults. The house is spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed using the BBQ on the evenings we were at home. The views across the bay are spectacular - particularly so when sitting with a sundowner! A maid was available to come in every day - she came to us alternate days which meant the house was beautifully clean and tidy. At the time of our visit there were strict water regulations. This meant taking two minute showers and collecting as much water as possible in the shower in a bucket for re-use. We drank bottled water which was plentiful, so no real problems. There was a very high wind one night which triggered the alarm about 6am with a prompt and reassuring attendance by the armed response team. It is a ten minute walk downhill to the front and the beach. An Uber is very cheap and easy if you prefer not to walk back up hill! We drove into Cape Town and parked easily in the car park at the V&A Waterfront. Altogether we had a great time and would thoroughly recommend both this house and Camps Bay.

Good size and amenities but needs some TLC in quite a few areas
The staff and property manager were on hand when needed which was good as the dishwasher blew up on day 1! Accommodation standard was ok but needs a lick of paint everywhere and new curtains in some of the bedrooms to actually block light out. On the whole a pleasant stay

ocean sweep, camps bay, cape town
We came from Boston to visit our daughter studying at the University this semester. We had never been to Cape Town and were blown away by its beauty. We also have never rented from VRBO, and our experience was perfect! I would highly recommend this house. It was great for the college kids to come over and hang! We barbecued one evening and had a lovely meal out on the patio. From almost every bedroom one can lie in bed and see the beautiful ocean. The breath taking mountains are above us, and we used uber for all of our transportation. The walk down to the village of Camps Bay was easy and we often went to dinner there. Recommend Cod Father for a delicious fish dinner...it is at the bottom of Camps Bay Road to the right.
The staff was five star. We welcomed back beautiful Philomena who just arrived from maternity leave. We saw photos of her new baby Chloe, and her 8 year old daughter Natalie. Her cousin, Precious took good care of us in the mean time as we had her over to freshen the house a few times. Charl, the house manager, checked in with us routinely...and was very very receptive when the hair dryer blew! We could not have been given better attention. The kindness and attention to detail from all was exemplary.
The pool was chilly but swimmable...the house is set up for a large crowd and very "kid" friendly...with a high chair and crib if needed. There are plenty of bathrooms, and lots of open space along with large tables for dining. The only advice I would give to a large group is that there is a washing machine but no dryer. So plan accordingly as it will take a day for laundry to wash if the sun is not out.
We hope to return with our elder daughter some day. We will miss this place as it is a secret jewel. Thank you to Patrick as well for being so receptive about the need for WIFI. It too was seamless...and both my husband and I were able to keep our businesses going from six hours away and two continents. Had that not worked in the manner they had promised, we would have experienced high stress.
Sadly we leave today, and again, Charl was incredibly generous about making sure we had no pressure getting out of here. I cannot say enough about how happy , delightful, and comfortable our stay was here in Paradise.

Großartige Villa , fantastische Aussicht, nicht zu toppen alles war perfekt !!
Am liebsten hätten wir den nächsten Urlaub sofort wieder gebucht. Es ist unglaublich viel Platz , der rundum Balkon mit Blick auf den Atlantik einfach fantastisch, die Terrasse und der Pool wundervoll.
Die küchenausstattung lässt keine wünsche offen.
Wie andere Gäste auch, waren wir mit der Alarmanlage etwas überfordert, aber Charl war sehr verständnisvoll !
Der Weg zum Strand beträgt 5 min.
Die Hilfe durch Phillomena haben wir sehr genossen, sie ist ein Schatz.

Perfekt !
Wir waren zu 7 Personen für 1 Woche in der Villa. Diese verfügt über ein Mega großes Schlafzimmer und 3 weitere - zwischen 15 bis 18 m2. Alles sehr sehr sehr sauber. Die Villa hat wirklich alles um einen tollen Urlaub zu genießen. Auch haben wir Philomina für die Woche gebucht. Alles wurde jeden Tag perfekt gesäubert. Die Küche ist vollausgestattet. Sogar an Backpapier und Handschuhe wurde gedacht. Wohn / Esszimmer ein Traum. Zum Zentrum in Camps Bay - 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Wir können diese Villa nur weiter empfehlen !!! Alles war perfekt und sauber

OK house for big family!
Great location and spacious house with nice seimmingpool and sitting area. Unfortunately no AC in the bedrooms. A little bit irritating with the "houselady" we hired that she did not understand during the days how to give us some privacy: she always did her ironing etc in the middle of the family/children looking at TV in the living room/kitchen. She also used the washingmachine in the kitchen for her private laundry.

Underbar semestervecka i Camps Bay
En vecka i högklassigt hus, väl utrustat, rent och fint! Allt i bästa ordning. Gott om plats för alla, sköna sängar. Grilla på den fina terassen, dopp och simning i poolen och fantastiskt utsikt över havet. Nära till fantastisk ren och fin sandstrand men kallt i Atlanten. Imponerande vågor för den gillar det. Flera bra matställen att välja på längs strandpromenaden! Fisk och skaldjur favoritmaten. Nära till Kapstaden och Taffelberget!
