Stay in one of Sydneys best kept secret locations, right on Paradise Beach. Overlooking Beautiful Pittwater, with a soft white sandy beach at your doorstep, The Paradise Beach House is your perfect Pittwater holiday destination.
The Paradise Beach House
The house itself is an original, single storey, early 1900s fishing cottage at the foot of the hills right on beautiful Paradise Beach. Uninterrupted views of stunning Pittwater and the National Park beyond feature from every room in the house.
The house is suited to a family with up to 4 kids or 4 adults and 2 kids. It has two large bedrooms, WIR, big family bathroom, combined Lounge and Dining room, a well serviced kitchen and separate laundry.
With Apple TV, a large DVD collection, unlimited quality WiFi, a well stocked library and a very comfortable sofa even your rainy days are catered for. There is a fenced, grassy yard and a sunny patio area that have supreme views. With a gas BBQ and outdoor dining facilities.
Please note that The Paradise Beach House does not offer onsite parking. There is parking available in the adjacent beach parking lot and we have a casual arrangement with our neighbours to assist on busy beach days if required.
Paradise Beach
The beach has tidal flat water, soft, clean, fine sand and plenty of morning shade. There is a jetty and a fenced off tidal swimming pool. Swimming conditions are fantastic - no nasty currents, waves or undertows. Just crystal clear, flat and calm, sandy bottomed salt water. Paradise Beach is quiet and secluded. Only the true locals know it exists, so it is never busy. The perfect beach for families with small children. Relax knowing your kids can swim and play in safety without rough water or overcrowded pools.
Fishing from one of the many jettys is highly rewarding. Flathead and Bream are the two most common fish to be caught. Walk around the rocks and explore the little rock pools. Look for crabs and star fish. Continue further around the rocks at low tide and you can walk to beautiful Clareville Beach. Lunch at the Clareville Beach Kiosk or simply use the public BBQs. .

Our stay at Paradise Beach house was just perfect. The views are stunning and the property was super clean and comfortable. Communication with the host was easy and we were made to feel extremely welcome by the neighbour properties. Looking forward to coming again soon!
Many thanks
We had the most wonderful stay here! The house is a perfect beach place right on the water. Not so fancy that it felt uncomfortable - it was perfection and I’m so sad I had to leave- views are absolutely gorgeous and the garden is delightful - in a word - superb!

Okish with issues
We experienced the worst communication we ever had during one of our stays. It was almost non existent. Check in details weren’t given out until the day of arrival. Keep in mind check in is after 4 pm on top of this.
On the day of arrival we experienced a problem and tried to contact Naomi. Phone number given on platform is wrong, we wrote a message to her email address and in stayz messages to pls contact us asap. Nothing! The whole time we were there no call or message.
We paid a premium cleaning fee but found a letter inside the house that we will get charged an additional 250 dollar if we are not complying with the cleaning outlined before we leave. Which included cleaning the outside area from leaves, vacuum inside the house, cleaning the bathroom thoroughly including toilet inside and outside and area around with the provided cleaning products plus the shower/bath, cleaning the fridge/freezer. Stripping up the sheets and putting in laundry was crossed out.
Further they wrote the normal things a guest dies anyway, leaving the house tidy and undamaged, taking rubbish out, cleaning the dishes.
This was a shocker and a first time experience to be hit with such demands and given our reviews we always leave properties in great conditions. So we were wondering the whole time what will be good enough to get the bind back. We reported this to stayz and bc the contract is outside stayz in a private email they aren’t aware of this and will look into this as cleaning fee is already included in the booking and why the guest needs to do a whole detailed clean.
Given the reviews the property got it looks like this is a new thing as no one mentioned it before. So be aware that you have to spend a great amount cleaning at your stay to match the expectations.
The dishes in the cupboard were dirty from the guest before us and the bins too, we cleaned it so no issue.
The master bed is great, the rest are very uncomfy, without aircon it can get very hot very fast on warm days.
The location is great! The house well fitted with what you need to feel comfortable. But this cleaning contract issue downgraded our joy staying there.

My apologies for the obvious misunderstanding regarding the cleaning requirements. The language barrier obviously created a small problem. We do not request guests to clean the house prior to check out, we only ask that you look after the property during your stay and provide the equipment and some guidelines to facilitate this. Our continuous 5 star rating from every other guest suggests that your experience was a one off situation, perhaps exacerbated by the fact that you only booked 24 hours prior to check in, making prior communication impossible.
We enjoyed a beautiful long weekend in "paradise", the location was just perfect for a young family and we loved swimming, playing in the sand and enjoying lunch & dinner alfresco watching the ever changing amazing view. Just perfect!
We had a lovely stay at Paradise Beach and the location and setting was fabulous for our family. The area felt safe and the children had fun swimming and fishing of the jetty. The cafe at the top of the hill was excellent. The accommodation was exactly as described, perhaps a little bigger than the photos suggested and the deck was amazing for watching the sun set.
We loved the experience and will long to go back ! A special little getaway that is so relaxed and quintessentially the Australian holiday experience I have been yearning for.
Thanks to the team for presenting a wonderful home to enjoy filled with history and charm.
We will most definitely be back in Paradise soon!

Beautiful and relaxing
The spot where the house is located is so beautiful that pictures do not reflect all the magic. The house has all the eqjipment you need. The main bedroom bed is very good, the rest of beds are very normal. House beautiful. Neighbours were very friendly and even envited us to the beach party. Nobody of the owners greeted us all was made online.

Perfect old school hideaway for young family
Amazing location. House has a lovely ambience - not fancy (original mid century beach house vibe) but perfect for our family of four. Hard to leave at the end of our stay. Owner very nice to deal with. Only potential negative is that onsite parking would be an issue if you have anything larger than a small/ medium size car. Overall, we loved it.

We’re so glad you loved The Paradise Beach House as much as we do. Christmas is the absolute best time to enjoy the beach. With king tides and wonderful weather at great temperatures, it can be absolutely spectacular!
You were wonderful guests and will be welcome back anytime.
Sadly, parking is a huge issue in all of Sydney and The Northern Beaches is no exception. We agree that more parking would be advantageous. However At a cost of over a million dollars to excavate the land, we choose to battle the public car park instead (which for 99% of the year sits mostly vacant). Hopefully you can look past this small inconvenience and return to Paradise again soon.

My husband and I and two young kids had a fabulous week at PBH. The house was very well maintained, had everything we needed and is in the most perfect location. Hopefully we can return one day.

Beatiful place to holiday
The house is practically right on top of Paradise Beach in Avalon. The road down to the house finishes in a cul-de-sac right in front of it. In order to access the delightful little netted swimming pool on the beach you cross the road and there it is. The house is tastefully furnished with a lovely big bedroom which has a view over the beach. The bedroom also has a walk-through wardrobe which leads into the bathroom which has a fitted bath shower module and a generous sized vanity unit plus a toilet. It a has a well appointed little kitchen with a pantry full of things including lots of books and DVD's for you to make use of. It has a second bedroom with a queen size bed with bunk over the top, as well as a single bed on the other side. There is a long entrance room which has a 6 seat dining setting up one end and a lounge area at the other with a good size TV connected to Foxtel with a DVD player attached to it as well. There is a large white tiled patio overlooking the beach which sits on top of the one car garage which you will badly need because parking at Paradise Beach is at a premium, and the only thing even vaguely annoying about this location is the cars that crawl up and down the road searching for a park. The patio has a huge table in the middle of it surrounded on three sides by white benches fitted to the walls. Off to the side is a little strip of lush green lawn. Kookaburras come each morning to be hand-fed and there is colourful birdlife all around. I don't know why I'm telling you all this because I really want to keep it as my secret hideaway when I need a break.

great place
we stayed 8 nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The place has a really nice seaside cottage feel and the lawn outside gives kids plenty of room to play. Having the beach right there was superb and the view from the outdoor dining table is pretty special.
The master bedroom was very generous in size and there was a large game and dvd collection which we didn't really use but a nice touch.
Mobile reception a bit patchy in places and as others mentioned wifi only really works in the kitchen but given part of the reason for our trip was to get away from the computer we weren't bothered.
All in all a superb place and we also loved Avalon generally. Definitely hope to return.

What a magical place.
We loved our stay at Paradise Beach, kids and adults alike. The house is simple, lovely and beachy and the location is magical. It was so lovely to sleep in and wake up to nothing but the sounds of birds, boats clinking and waves. We'll definitely be back.

Our young family all loved this house and it's location right across the road from Paradise Beach. We ate almost all our meals at the outdoor dining table overlooking Pittwater.The house was well equipped, spotless and very comfortable. Wifi only worked in kitchen and pantry so would be good if it was available in whole house - but that was only a minor drawback.And it's just a short drive from Avalon's cute cafes and shops - so we had the best of both worlds.We'll definitely return soon.

This is a beautiful property, very seaside chic. It's right on the water with the most gorgeous views.While we had a great time with the kids here, I'd love to come back again with my husband, it would be a really romantic place to stay & enjoy a quiet glass of wine on the balcony while having a bbq. A great place to go to get away from it all, without actually having to travel far out of Sydney.
