After a bad experience in near by homestay from the moment we arrived in Ocean breeze, we were greeted with the warmest hospitality from Janaka who runs the villa. Villa is located just a few steps from the beach. Beach is wide, safe to swim and perfect for surf. Although mornings and late afternoons were busy with surfers you have a feeling it is still an undiscovered paradise, almost private because of the wideness of the beach, secluded from big crowds and city noise.  There is a turtle hatchery right in front of the villa and a restaurant and surf school runned by a friendly family. The room was clean with comfortable bed and all the amenities you need for the perfect tranquil stay.  Overall, we couldn't be happier with our stay, we will come back next year...

We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend! It is a beautiful little beach used mostly by locals where you can go swimming (and also a little bit of snorkelling). The room is one of the best we had during our one month in sri lanka - everything nice, clean, thoughtful and the sea view is a big plus. Also the restaurant owned by the brother is super nice and chilled with various options to hang out (hammocks and so one). We would definitely come back to this little paradise

Amazing location, right on the beach. Fantastic surf all day long! Staff is super super friendly and they serve an excellent dinner and breakfast at the beach. Also the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t look any further, this was our favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka.

Perfect beach hotel! A little off the main road as the name suggests and 24 steps down to the beach from the grounds. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean and had a fridge, safe and mosquito nets. Breakfast was simple but yummy overlooking the Ocean and beach. Surf boards for hire and a pretty private beach to enjoy!

We loved staying right on the beach and being able to watch the turtles from our balcony. The restaurant was great, there was loads of choice and for a good price. The staff, especially the owner were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was good, walking distance to Madiha surf break (10 minutes) and Polhena beach and lots of restaurants.
