BEST vacation home on the coast!!
My family loved staying at this home! We had plenty of room for my family of 5. Being able to walk into the fishing village or drive 15 minutes into town, this house was the perfect location for seeing Scotland sites on the east coast. The kitchen had everything, the house was super clean....it was beautiful!!

Lovely house, lovely village, just lovely
We had a fantastic week at Sea Shore House. The location is perfect - next to the sea but away from huddle and bussle. Easy travelling distance to Dundee, Aberdeen, Cairngorms etc. Rocky beach but great for exploring. Very definitely recommended

Seashore house
We all had a wonderful holiday the house itself was spotless with a picturesque view also very homely feeling with everything you need for your stay The hosts Gwen and Steve were lovely and left you to your own devices but there if needed. The village’s shop had everything you need e.g from sun cream to dog food there’s also a tearoom and the Anchor hotel for food with friendly staff and St Cyrus beach is stunning and only a ten minute drive away. Will definitely be going back I highly recommend it Thanks Gwen and Steve for our lovely peaceful holiday just what we needed

Great break by the sea
Just returned from a great break at Sea Shore House. Easy booking and check in process . House was very clean and had been sanitised and cleaned in line with Covid guidance. Very well equipped house and the views to the sea were fabulous both on the sunny and stormy days . Johnshaven is a lovely little place and I recommend a meal in The Anchor Inn . Thank you for having us Steve and Gwen and I would certainly love to stay again at some point .

Lovely village and home
Stephan and Gwen were delightful hosts and the house was large, comfortable, clean and a beautiful view. The hotel in town had really great food. Make sure you have reservations though. They did help us by letting us do take away when we didn’t. The area had so many great things to see. Really close to Stonehaven (our host told us about it) and you must see Dunnottar Castle located just a short drive from here. Had some gifts and fresh milk in the fridge on our arrival. The host lives next door so if we had an issue they were readily available. Definitely would stay here again.

Excellent location
Well equipped home, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Ideal for what we wanted (2 couples and elderly lady). Excellent location. The home was comfortable and in the most part clean (a previous guest clearly had dogs and the windows were full of nose marks), bits of mould in the bathrooms. Could have done with a grab rail in the downstairs bathroom just to make it a bit more disabled friendly. Lovely and warm, excellent views out to sea and the village of Johnshaven, just a short walk along the coast was very friendly, with a well equipped village shop, seafood shop, cafe and pub selling excellent food. Overall we were very pleased with the house and location. Would recommend to friends.

JOHNSHAVEN
We had a lovely week at seashore house It's yards from the sea and everyone in the village is so friendly. The house has everything you need and 3 bathrooms are a bonus espcially if you have family. If you like seafood the lobster shack is a must. Watching the dolphins was an unexpectd surprise. Stephen and Gwen are next door so are on hand if any problems occur. We can definitely recomment this property.

Really very very good
Comfy, handy, well equipped. Thoroughly enjoyable stay. (Even saw orcas bobbing by). Dogs also give a full 5 stars for the location and "walkies" just a few steps away from outside the front door. We look forward to our next visit.
