“Thank you for your review, I’m so glad you enjoyed the house! Yes, the road can be a little windy as we are right on the waterfront, but the good thing is the access to the house itself is quite easy — it’s only about 15 steps from the garage to the main door, which is very convenient for a waterfront property. Suitable for most of the age group. Hope to welcome you back again sometime!” 😊

Magical Oasis with Water views

This home is incredibly comfortable and functional. Bedrooms and ensuites are like a 5 star hotel, and the open kitchen & living areas are spacious while cozy, with a killer view of your personal beach on Pittwater.

Tranquil Paradise

My family and I had the pleasure of staying five nights at this lovely waterfront escape in July. This well-appointed home is even more beautiful than the online pictures, and it has everything you need to make you feel at home for a perfect stay. The views from the master bedroom, deck, and living area are breathtaking, and we enjoyed waking up to the birds serenading us each morning.Shelly is a fantastic host who is extremely responsive, and her detailed guide book provides great suggestions for what to see and do in the area. We would definitely stay here again when we get back to the Northern Beaches, and we’ll recommend this home to our friends and family!

Wonderful secluded house with all the bells and whistles

My family and I stayed at this house over my wedding and it was wonderful. Enough space for everyone to sprawl and incredible views over the water. Only thing I will mention is driveway and pedestrian access is via quite a steep drive and staircase so just need to be aware for anyone with mobility issues. Beautiful house and everyone was very happy! Thank you hosts

Congratulations for your wedding! We are glad everyone was happy! It is truly a beautiful part of Sydney with magnificent Pittwater views, a place you can create unforgettable memories. In water front position this part of Sydney, most of the properties are not flat, need to have drive way take you down the waterside. Fortunately our beach house already have easier access compare to any other surrounding properties. You are right, definitely if you have mobility issues, with any waterfront properties should ask the host first to make sure before booking. Hopefully we can host you again in the future.

Perfect house for a family reunion

Our family based in SW WA are used to wonderful houses with wonderful vistas. This house and its location accommodated all our requirements. The access was a novelty and even those in their 70s and 80s with hip issues enjoyed the steepness without complaint. And as a result everybody behaved well towards one another! Our one tip would be to include beach towels.

Long Weekend at Waterfront in Clareville

Booking and check in service was easy and courteous and both Shelley and Annie responded to tour queries very quickly. House is beautiful with quality fittings and furnishings, more like an up market home than a rental. The property was immaculately clean and was provided with all incidentals we needed. There is lots of outside decking that we were unable to take full advantage of due to the weather but a great amenity We would definitely recommend and hope to return another time.
