This 100 year old house offers a rustic & retro beach house experience. Kept simple, comfortable, it offers classic fun including jigsaws, games, TV, DVDs & wifi. It is only a 5 minute bush walk to stunning Blackhead Beach or 10 minutes through a sub-tropical rainforest to the shops. Once you've arrived there's no need to get in your car til you're ready to go home.
The space This is a much loved beach house & a great place to unwind, get active & reconnect with yourself & your family. There are ocean baths, beach walking & exploring to do with a patrolled swimming beach (school holidays). We are dog friendly on request, please let us know how many & what breeds so we can confirm if this will work, we ask dogs be kept off inside furniture & ask guests to pick up any dog poop in the yard. There is a one-off pet fee of $25. It's a dog friendly beach but have your leads with you for certain area's. , The fencing is about 1.2 metres high so best for small dogs and the neighbours have dogs too, so one's that don't get too barky would be welcome.
Frida's is close to the beach and catches a great ocean breeze, there are ceiling fans in the bedrooms and living area, and we've got ducted air-conditioning. There is good mobile coverage from Telstra & Optus, other providers are variable.
The bathroom has a shower over its clawfoot bath, it’s a little curvy on the bottom and maybe unstable for some, we have a great ensuite shower as well & an outdoor shower with hot and cold.
We are LGBTIQ friendly and this is the perfect honeymoon venue!
Frida's has a wrap around verandah on two sides, it's like a room outside and you can move with the sun or hide in the shade. On one side the veranda is about 1 metre in height without railings and that's why we've recommended not suitable for children under 3 years, you can use your own judgement.
Guest access You have access to the entire property Other things to note Off street parking under a carport for two vehicles and plenty of street parking
We provide linen, sheets & towels, please bring your own beach towels.

Thanks for your lovely review, we love it when guests enjoy Frida's and everything it offers including the beautiful location and the region, we look forward to hosting you again.
An absolutely beautiful cottage. Very homely and situated in a nice quiet neighbourhood. Stunning front veranda to relax and enjoy the quiet.. very dog friendly.We hope to be able to come back again at some stage.
This was the holiday we absolutely needed, and the place was everything we could ask for and more. Amazing house, amazing beach and amazing community. Will be coming again for sure!
This is our second stay at Frieda. It is a beautiful " home away from home" that has absolutely everything you require for a serene stay. We would love to come back in winter to enjoy the fire.
What a beautiful house to stay in for a relaxing weekend away with my sister! The garden was beautiful, the location was perfect and every room in the house was welcoming! Can’t wait to go back!

Thanks for the lovely review Krystal, we look forward to having you back and glad you enjoyed Frida's By The Sea and our beautiful mid north coast region.
Was a charming property only thing that let it down was the cleanliness.

Hi Peter, thanks for your review. Could you offer some specific feedback about cleanliness so we can address that? As we’re not able to visit our home very often we rely on guests letting us know what needs doing. We’ve also just come through a significant flood event on the mid north coast & are waiting for things to dry out a little before getting the house washed. Being a dog friendly beachside cottage comes with its challenges & we’re trying to maintain that rustic vibe while adhering to the needs of tourism accommodation. We appreciate any feedback, having already replaced missing window locks that you mentioned in your earlier message to us, your grateful Frida’s by the Sea hosts.
I recommend this stay as in good location not far from anything you may want. Our Host was exceptional, and we never wanted for a thing. Very pretty beaches and dog friendly as well and not overcrowded.
Would stay again.
Frida's is a lovely beach house, well set up and equipped. Listing is very accurate. The verandah and wood fire are stand outs. Excellent communications with owners.
Personally, Fridas by the Sea ticked all the right boxes for a weekend getaway for us. Close to the beach, well stocked pantry with anything you could need, comfortable sofas inside and out to relax the days away, books and puzzles galore. Then there is the beautiful garden and quirky Frida inspired interiors. Dog friendly too!

Thanks for such generous feedback and being such great guests and enjoying Frida's and our beautiful region.
We had a wonderful stay at this comfortable, spacious house. Every room was a joy & furnished with a homage to Frida. We especially loved the verandah and ensuite! Everything we could possibly need was supplied. With nearby beaches to explore and great communication from the owners we wished we could have stayed longer.
