One of the best AirBnb we ever had. The appartment was very clean and included every detail to make our stay as comfortable as possible. And what an incredible view to enjoy our Nespresso coffee every morning. Very close to beautiful villages and great restaurants. The host was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Beautiful and thoughtfully renovated home with lots of light, space and privacy. Two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, kitchen with everything available to cook well at home. Great beds, quiet area. Also lots of addresses, info and tips via leaflet on the Internet. Self check in via a code and special lock, very easy. Personal contact via email, quick answer to questions. We especially enjoyed the view and the large balcony!

Excellent views and very friendly hosts. It's a little far from the big urban centers of the island, which gives you peace and quiet.

Beautiful view through the window, well planned spaces, calming sound of the ocean, easy to find a parking, good restaurants around, small town and authentical Canary island experience. Enjoyed staying here and felt a different, more authentical experience.

We had an incredibly nice time in the apartment. Since we also worked from there, it was important to us that there is a good and stable internet connection. This was impeccable. The view of the sea was also outstanding directly from the bed. Always happy to come back!

Created with love by Sarah & Aike

We're an Amsterdam couple who fell in love with Tenerife's raw coastline during the pandemic. Oceanview 5 is our cozy second home — a place of peace, beauty, and slow mornings.

When we're not there, we love to share it with guests who value the same things.

We've carefully renovated this space to reflect what we personally value in a home away from home: comfort without excess, beauty without pretension, and thoughtful touches that make daily life a pleasure.

Our hope is that you'll find the same rejuvenation and joy here that we do—whether working remotely with a view of the Atlantic, sharing meals on the balcony, or exploring the natural wonders of Tenerife's north coast.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly is Oceanview 5?

Oceanview 5 is at Playa San Marcos 5, 38430 San Marcos, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, on the peaceful north coast of Tenerife. San Marcos beach is a 5-minute walk away (500 m), Icod is a 5-minute drive and Garachico about 10 minutes.

How many people does it sleep?

Oceanview 5 sleeps up to 6 guests. There are 3 bedrooms, 3 double beds and 2 full bathrooms — one of the sleeping areas is the living room, where the sofa bed converts to a double.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is after 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Check-in is self-service via a code and smart lock.

Is there a minimum stay?

Yes — the minimum stay is 2 nights. Longer stays and direct bookings get the best rates.

Is there parking?

Yes. Free parking is available behind the nearby church, a short walk from the apartment.

Is the property secure?

Yes. The exterior is covered by security cameras, and when we're not on the island ourselves, neighbours who know the building check in on it regularly.

Is it suitable for remote work?

Yes. There is high-speed fiber Wi-Fi throughout, a dedicated desk with an external monitor, and a quiet setting with ocean views. Several guests have used it for full working weeks.

How fast is the internet?

500 Mbps over mesh Wi-Fi, reaching every room including the balcony — guests working full weeks from here have specifically called it out as reliable. It has no connection to the weather: cloud on the coast affects the view, not the line.

Can two people work here at the same time?

Yes. The main desk is in the living space; the second bedroom has its own kitchenette and balcony, which works as a genuinely separate second workspace rather than a shared one.

Are pets allowed?

No, pets are not allowed at Oceanview 5. Smoking is also not permitted.

How do I book, and can I book directly?
