About this property

Follonica House Coastal Retreat

The perfect getaway for family and friends, Follonica House Coastal Retreat is a freshly-renovated, luxurious, double-story home, sleeping 11 guests across 4-5 bedrooms (4 bedrooms & study), and 3 bathrooms.

This delightful escape situated in Dromana is spacious, clean, and flooded with natural light. Highlights include a 6 min walk to the beach, a gourmet kitchen, luxury appliances, and multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to gather. Relax in this coastal gem away from the hustle and bustle.

THE SPACE
This quintessential Peninsula retreat is an expansive contemporary home offering family living on a large scale. With two lounge areas, a dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen, there is plenty of space for guests to spread out and relax.

This home is very inviting with its open-plan living, high-speed WIFI, ample space and heating and cooling. Enjoy the entertainer's kitchen, generously proportioned with plenty of storage, stone benchtops with luxury appliances, and a covered patio ideal for alfresco dining. Outdoors also provides an expansive deck surrounding a fire pit, a shaded area with lounge chairs, a beautifully manicured garden and a lawn area for the kids to play.

It is an easy 6-minute walk (600 meters) to the beach, and not far from the several cafes and eateries of Dromana, or get in the car and travel a little to see all that the Peninsula has to offer, from award-winning wineries and restaurants to kids activities and bush walks.

The house is in a residential street with surrounding permanent tenants so we only rent to mature guests that will remain respectful to our neighbours. The house is to be used for relaxation-style holidaying, loud parties are prohibited.

disappointed
the cleanliness of the property was unsatisfactory. dust everywhere, bathroom mould, soup scum in the showers. outdoors was unacceptable also. it appears as though the yard had never been maintained. weeds everywhere and cobwebs all over the place. the backyard was unhabital it was actually disgusting and i was scared for the children to play out the back as i had no idea how many spiders were floating ar i und. overall very disappointing and not the worth the 4k
