Description
Situated just off the beach as close as one can possibly be to the Illawarra's iconic Sandon Point, this exquisite home offers something for any holiday goer. Whether you want to play on the beach, relax, tour, or engage in a mixture of activities, you can do it all here without even packing the car....swim, surf, cycle, fish, picnic, play, or just lay on the beach! There is also a multitude of local sights and destinations to visit and/or experience in easy reach.
For surfers: For the more accomplished, Sandon Point Break is well known for its awesome (and frequent) world class waves. It is a classic right hand point break. Additional choices for depending on your capability and the conditions include Bombie on the opposite side; the Reef (a reef break) about a 200 meters south followed by Peggy's, another righthander. You can check all of these breaks out from the front deck. Just further south is a another whole set of options including Bulli and Woonona beaches....and the reef break at Bellambi which has become very popular among the long boarders.
For beach lovers, this beautifully appointed home sits 50 metres across from Sandon Point Beach, with McCauleys/Thirroul beaches to the north, and Bulli/Woonona beaches to the south.....all patrolled beaches except for McCauleys. Plenty of sun, sand, and surf for everyone. One of the best kept secrets of this stretch of adjoining beaches is how tranquil it can be compared to Austi/Thirroul beaches during the summer. Even in the midst of the school holidays, you may find yourself one of just a handful of people strolling along the beach at any given time of the day (except on Sunday mornings when surf school is in session!).
If you want the best of everything, accommodation, location, view, amenities, proximity to the surf...and a very custom personalised approach, then..... Casa el Punto is the go!

Enjoy bushwalking? ...there are some great trails nearby. There is a hiking trail up the escarpment to Sublime Point only minutes away.
There are three great cafes within short walking distance (less than 1k!) ...The Point Cafe (best food), Sea Salt (best views), Ruby's (best value and a local favourite).
Thirroul Village restaurants and shops are minutes away by car or a relaxing walk along the bike trail.
