About this property
5 minutes to the beach.Large sunny beach house. Pet friendly
We love sitting on the deck with a cold drink looking at the beautiful sea view. The house is so quiet and you can hear the native birds singing in the morning. We have lovely large spaces for everyone to enjoy including a seperate TV room and 2 outdoor hot showers- great for rinsing off after the beach.Unlimited wifi is supplied. 2 fridges and 2 freezers,dishwasher, oven,microwave and coffee machine. There are 2 bbqs outside and as well as a drinks fridge. The property is fenced and are happy to have a small dog stay.
Bed linen fee $50 per stay
Towel fee $50 per stay
Cleaning fee $300 per stay
The area is close enough to the city to explore on a day trip but also far away enough to feel like you are on a beach. The little suburb of Manly has many restuarants, cafes, convenience store and pharmacy within a five minute walk. Hop in the car for a five minute drive and you will find a large supermarket and other stores.
An easy five minute walk will take you to Manly beach where you can relax, swim and enjoy the beach.
