About the owners

Fiona & Simon

Listed since December 2017

As a child, Simon spent many holidays happily enjoying Guernsey’s sandy beaches. We moved to Guernsey together with our children and we are thoroughly enjoying living in such a beautiful, safe and friendly place.  We feel sure you will love it too. 

Owner recommendations

  • Book at table at Crabby Jacks, a family-friendly restaurant opposite the beach, with a great playground, fun atmosphere and wide-ranging menu.

  • Sausmerez Park with a large duck pond, pergola, playground, café and wide pathways perfect for scootering is a great afternoon out.

  • Take in the Fairy Ring – a scenic walk that will take you to where fairies dancing through the night have created a circular ditch, lined with upright stones.

  • Try your hand at coasteering – an activity for the more adventurous. A guide will take you swimming through caverns and jumping off cliffs.

  • Spend the day at Portelet Bay. A fantastic beach with rock pools for crabbing, a sea wall for jumping off, an enclosed area for children to swim, charming fishing boats and a kiosk.

  • Take a trip to Herm. A beautiful island only 20 minutes away by boat, but totally otherworldly.

  • Guernsey Surf School. Located at Vazon Bay, Guernsey Surf School offers a great range of lessons, courses, and programmes to suit all ages and abilities. Learn and have fun at this International Surf Association approved school. Family lessons, 1:1 lessons, teen camp, day and half-day courses are available.
