About this property

3/4 acre Beach House, Walk to beach on boardwalk, Family groups & pets welcome

My name is Tim and it is my pleasure to offer you a stay at my families beachside holiday house - it is our family's oasis.

Bring the family as well as your friends to stay overnight at our charming, well appointed beach house. Set on 3/4 of an acre and abutting 65 acre Citation Reserve, you will relax as soon as you walk in and survey the views out over the reserve from the kitchen. The gorgeous balcony, shaded slightly by mottled leaves of the James Stirling and Silver Birch, has been the setting for many a summer's evening dinner party.

Walk to the beach down the Balcombe Creek estuary boardwalk.

A 20 minute stroll to Mt Martha shops and beach along the Balcombe Creek boardwalk is the best way to start anybody's day! If you need some exercise, or just some peace and solitude, the boardwalk is a wonderful place to walk and catchup with your thoughts, or just walk the dog away from the hustle and bustle!

You can listen to the birds on the deck at breakfast, or watch the kookaburra's on the balcony which wraps around the whole house.

Pets welcome, with prior permission.

The property has 3 Queen beds, all new or near new, 2 bunks for the kids, a spare single mattress for the kids friends, and a very large master bedroom. We have had many guests over 12+ years, and they have all commented on how peaceful our retreat is.

Feel free to ask me to visit to inspect prior to booking. (Minimum 3-night stay & 7 nights post-Christmas/January). Registration no is STRA0172/18.

Private Oasis

A cosy home surrounded by an amazing treed vista. Walking tracks literally at your finger tips for both family and furry friends to enjoy. A very spacious home for everyone to find a place to relax and chill out. The kitchen was very well equipped for any dish that we wanted to cook up. The kids loved the boogie boards provided. It certainly made our days at the beach full of fun, so a big thanks.

Family Reunion

Very relaxing and comfortable home. Plenty of room for a family of 4-6 with a great yard to spend time in. Close proximity to great shops for food, wine and gifts. Mount Martha has always been a great destination to visit with much to see and do.

Everything you need for a relaxing break

Our intergenerational family group of 8 loved this large home with 4 bedrooms. Everything was clean and comfortable and the house was in a private, leafy setting within a few minutes drive of Mt Martha village. Our favourite activity was enjoying leisurely meals outside on the veranda, and exploring the area. Everything we needed for a relaxing break including board games and BBQs were included.
