Description

Quiet beach side location, ideal family holiday house with 4 good size bedrooms, BYO linen, or we can organise supply for $16 per person. House includes two kitchens, perfect for two families. Take the private track to the beach, or enjoy the view from the huge deck - it's a perfect holiday for families. (NOT AVAILABLE TO "SCHOOLIES")

The house itself has floorboards throughout so any sand that you bring back from the beach can easily be taken care of. Upstairs we have a spacious kitchen with brand new fridge, convection microwave, stove, oven and dishwasher. There is also a dining area and lounge with three cosy couches for snuggling around the Coonara heater should you come in winter.

Actually, you'll probably rarely use the dining area inside as you'll spend all your time at the outside dining setting, cooking on the BBQ and admiring the view. It's nice and sheltered unlike many places on the Island, just beautiful and peaceful in any season.

Bedding configuration:
Bedroom 1 - 1 queen bed and ensuite
Bedroom 2 - 1 double bed and one set of bunks (2x single)
Bedroom 3 - Two sets of bunks (4 x single)
SC unit (within the house) - Bedroom - Queen bed and ensuite
- Lounge area - fold out double

Bedroom 1 is a large room with a lovely ensuite and plenty of room to put one of the spare mattresses on the floor if needed.

Bedroom 2 is ingeniously divided with a bank of cupboards - one side has a double bed, and the other a set of bunks. Perfect for Mum and Dad to have some privacy yet still have the children near by.

Bedroom 3 is a child's paradise with two sets of bunks so you can throw all the kids in together, shut the door and head for the balcony!

Then you go through the connecting door to another great space - a self contained unit complete with another kitchen, living, lounge, the fourth QS bedroom and ensuite. The lounge is also a fold down double bed if you need it. This is the perfect space for another family, or for young children who get up earlier than everyone else, or when you just need a bit more privacy. A self contained area with a split system heater and airconditioner and a lovely view of the back yard.

All of downstairs is serviced by three bathrooms (one in the unit, one ensuite and a further central toilet and bathroom). A spacious laundry is also on the ground floor. Another toilet upstairs means you don't have to go down and up stairs.

There is a garage and carport, and huge back yard with heaps of room to kick the footy under the shade of the trees should you tire of the beach.

And speaking of the beach - well, that's really why we bought this property. The beach is literally at the end of the back yard. Just a short walk down a private track , over the sand dune and you're there! The start of the track is like an enchanted forest, with hanging vines for maximum privacy - not to mention beauty! So less than two minutes and you're on the beach. Kids had enough? Head back home and come back later. Decide you want to fish once you get there? An easy walk back to grab the rod. Forgot the wine to complement a magnificent sunset? Zip home and grab a chilled bottle out of the fridge.

And thank goodness, Ventnor Beach remains a well kept secret so we have rarely seen more than a hundred people on this kilometre long beach. It is that close, and that fantastic!

Phillip Island - a great place for a family holiday or just a weekend break!

Phillip Island is an easy hour and a half drive from Melbourne. The Island is full of fantastic natural attractions including the world famous Penguin Parade, the Nobbies (seals and ocean life) and a terrific Koala Park to name a few. Both the surf beaches and the bay beaches are outstandingly beautiful, as is the unique Churchill Island. And there are plenty of other attractions such as the race track, a bowling alley, great old style cinema, terrific restaurants, a maze and adventure park - just loads of things for families of all ages.

Ventnor is the next beach along from the main town of Cowes. Ventnor is a bit of a well kept secret, with the kilometre long beach generally having not more than 100 people on it, even in the middle of summer. It's a short drive into Cowes, but is well serviced by a local licensed shop so if you don't ever want to go into town you don't have to.

Charlie's Place is a lovely two storey house nestled in a tranquil setting in the trees right on the beach, protected by dunes. A lovely bush feel yet close to all amenities.

Local attractions - lots for the whole family to do!

  • "As I was booking on behalf of not just myself but two other families, I was really hoping that the house would be ideal. It did not let me down, the house was a great size, plenty of room for the kids to run around. My parents were very happy to have their own 'wing' haha. If there was any complaint it was that the downstairs bedroom on the left as you come threw the door had an unpleasant smell. Opened some windows this helped. Would definetely book here again, the 2 min access to the beach was awesome!"

  • "What a great place for a relaxing break! The location is fantastic, just metres from the beach. We were looking for a holiday place we could share with our beat mate Buddy (our dog)and this turned out to be perfect. We went with another couple and their dog and there was plenty of room for all. we will certainly be back!!"

  • "Charlie's place is a beautifully situated house backing onto a lovely sheltered beach. The house is very spacious with a wonderful verandah. We greatly appreciated being able to bring our dog. We plan to return soon."

  • "What a fantastic house! My friends and i headed down to celebrate my birthday at charlie's place and it was perfect! The house is huge!! There was so much room for everyone, and we especially loved the top floor and deck, was so nice to sit outside and enjoy drinks with a lovley view of the HUGE back yard and beach. We also enjoyed walking to the beach, which took no more than 2 minutes! The house was clean and everything you needed was provided. I have stayed in other houses down in phillip island, and this one is definetly the best by far, i cannot wait to come back down soon :) highly reccomended!!"

  • "Fantastic position, right near the beach. This property was perfect for our extended family get away. Enough room for 11 of us to be comfortable together. The deck and dining table was drenched in sun, warming us in chilly May. Loads to do in Phillip Island and the perfect place to enjoy it. "

  • "My family and I absolutely loved our stay at Charlie's Place. The house was well equipped and the location is amazing, with the beach just a one minute stroll through the backyard. It was also a real treat for us poms to see a wallaby in the garden :) Highly recommended"

  • "A property with much to recommend it. Our team of 12 certainly enjoyed what it had to offer - when we were not at the Phillip Island race circuit watching the Superbike World Championship. What a great track. There should be a statue of Bob Barnard in Cowes - as his vision certainly has made a huge impact on business for two weeks of the year (not forgetting about the pre-season testing). Back to Charlie's Place: three bathrooms, three toilets and a second kitchen provide terrific flexibility. Pretty hard to beat I'd say."

  • "Charlie's Place was a great place to stay for our family of 5 (even though the house could hold a lot more). The best feature of this property is its proximity to the beach - the kids loved the hidden forest trail to the beach and didn't once complain that it was too far, too hard etc...The house was great - plenty of room for the kids to explore, hide away, with a toy box as well and mum and dad had space for themselves as well. All equipment is there (not just the bare minimum as you often find in rentals) so we just had to provide food and linen. The verandah is a beautiful spot to begin and end each day. Thankyou for sharing your place with us. I'd recommend it to all."

  • "Wonderful place to relax and take a break. Very spacious and well kept house. Great rooms. Lots of fun toys for the kids. The grandparents loved the views, the kids loved watching out for the resident wallaby and rabbits. We loved sitting out on the deck, playing boules in the garden. The short walk to the beach is just brilliant, and yes not many people on the beach. Just brilliant! Thanks so much!! Also a bonus that some beach toys were also provided."
