About this property

Rye Beach Retreat - Pet Friendly

* All guests must by over 25 unless accompanied by parents
* BYO Linen (available on request for additional charge)
Set just a short walk from the spectacular Number 16 ocean beach but in a world all of its own, Rye Beach House is truly a coastal retreat. Relax on the back deck and listen to the waves or take an easy 7 minute stroll down to the No 16 Beach Café for a truly great coffee and head across the road to the stunning No 16 beach.

The new kitchen has stainless steel appliances, stone benchtops and even a wine fridge! The open plan lounge, flooded with natural light, features a stunning open fire to cosy up to on those cooler nights and opens out to both the front and rear decks for the best of summer living. Also upstairs are three bedrooms with queen beds, a central bathroom, separate toilet, and laundry.

Underneath the house, down external stairs there is another queen bed and further living area, the perfect retreat for the kids.

Set well back from the street, you can relax on the lounge on the north facing front veranda, secluded amongst the ti tree or have a barbie on the back decking and soak in the ocean sounds.

Pets are welcome and will love the large fenced block with plenty of room to spare for your boats and cars.

Oh so close to Peninsular Hot Springs and just a few minutes' drive to Blairgowrie shops and cafes.

Linen & towels are not included. (We supply doona's and pillows, but not sheets, pillow cases and towels). Linen & towels can be supplied for $40 per bed + fees which contributes (but doesn't fully cover) laundering and cleaner's time to make and strip beds.

Our host Karen was really lovely and gave us some great information. We all absolutely enjoyed our stay. The place was just perfect with all the amenities. Beds were so comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with everything. We particularly enjoyed relaxing on the decking and watching our furry friends enjoying themselves running around the spacious grounds. We would all love to return to this very beautiful place. It was a lovely relaxing weekend.

Loved everything about it!

We stayed here and had a delightful break. It was a joy to be in the light bright kitchen / dining/living space and spill out onto the wide deck. We had fun throwing a frisbee on the green grass in the front yard!Also loved location near 16 Beach, and off-leash dog beach at Blairgowrie.Thanks xxx

Very, very nice!

The place was ideal for our needs. Close to exquisite golf courses, front and back outdoor sitting areas for post game discussions, Rye shops are not far away for supplies, and very good kitchen for cooking up masterpieces. Bedrooms are airy and spacious, as is the living areas. Very, very good place to stay on the Mornington Peninsula.
