Summary:
Birdsong Beach Cottage is a beautifully renovated weatherboard beach house that oozes coastal charm and retains many original design features. Sun-filled, fun-filled, salty holidays happen here, only 200 metres to the beach. Be serenaded by the sound of crashing waves and birdsong drifting in from nearby Begola Wetlands. The modernised kitchen and beach-luxe living/dining areas flow to the delightful decks and garden setting. Everyone has room to relax, complete with outdoor shower.

The Space:
Set in a beachside court in Ocean Grove, this lovely, heartfelt home evokes the joy of seaside holidays from the moment you arrive. The tranquility felt this close to the beach is a complete sensory experience... Smell the salty sea air and listen to the sound of waves crashing onto the beach, so close you can walk barefoot with your surfboard to the shore.

This gorgeous 1940s weatherboard delight is perfectly positioned less than 200m from Ocean Grove’s Collendina Beach. Pack the boogie boards and beach towels and embrace the coastal lifestyle, with so much to explore from this home base. Located in a great area away from the busy heart of Ocean Grove, this home is in a fabulous location central to both shopping centres (3mins drive to either The Terrace or Marketplace Shops), a short walk to the Begola Wetlands and close to the Cheeky Cow café for your morning coffee.

The kitchen and family bathroom have been sympathetically modernised, in keeping with its heritage. Beyond a delightful servery is the kitchen which boasts all the modern amenities including dish drawer, breakfast bar and a coffee machine. A round breakfast table overlooks a lovely undercover north-facing deck and alfresco dining area. Enjoy the sunshine and fresh sea breeze while you cook a BBQ and relax outside. Inside, the large dining area has split system heating-cooling and evokes a tropical setting. It leads through to a sun-filled living area with a Smart TV (Netflix connectivity), ducted gas heating, ceiling fan, and fabulous views over the garden and deciduous vine-covered pergola.

Four bedrooms are beautifully appointed with hotel quality sheets and bath towels, making your stay as comfortable as possible. BYO beach towels. The parents retreat has a Queen bed, ceiling fan and Smart TV (Netflix connectivity). Two more comfortable bedrooms on the ground floor (Queen and Double) are serviced by an eclectic family bathroom with shower, bath and separate toilet. A wonderful addition is the loft/attic space above the bedrooms, complete with a Double Bed, floor cushions and board games that kids will love after long days at the beach.
