This is a little slice of heaven on the Mornington Peninsula, perched on the highest point in Rye. From the sweeping bay views to the fabulous interior, and little touches like chilled Prosecco in the fridge and nibbles in the pantry, Sea For Miles is the perfect get-away.
Its elevated position adds to a sense of privacy even though the apartment is attached to the family holiday home (they weren't around so we had the place to ourselves). We loved the fact we were far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the front beach, but still only five minutes drive from all the amenities the area has to offer, including good takeaway coffee!
Of course, you can strike out a little further, as we did, to enjoy a cold one overlooking the bay at the Portsea Pub, walk the wild ocean beaches or explore the nearby wineries. While we did all this and more, there was nothing we liked better than coming 'home' and throwing open those huge windows, letting the sea breeze cool us down while we snoozed in the luxuriously dressed and very comfortable bed, read our books and listened to music. There's good wireless connection but we only used it to access Spotify because our laptops stayed shut and phones were turned off!
Nicole was the perfect host: very friendly, quick to respond to our smallest questions, meeting us on arrival and going the extra yard to make sure our pet Labrador settled in (yes, Nicole is a dog lover and with special permission your pampered pet can come on holiday too - just check the Mornington Peninsula council website for summer time dog friendly beaches and parks!). We have raved about this spot to all our friends and plan to go back. There's absolutely nothing about it we'd change. In fact, we want to move in permanently! Thank you, JM
