About this property
Syd’s Place—Retro Seaside Haven Upstairs
Light, warmth, and a nostalgic 70s charm define this coastal retreat. Perched on the upper level of a classic beach house, it offers elevated outlooks, ocean breezes, and a sense of quiet seclusion.
The living area is bright and inviting, with retro-inspired furniture and large windows framing leafy views toward the coast. Curl up with a book after a day by the water, stream a movie, or simply watch the light shift across the dunes. In the adjoining kitchen, crisp white cabinetry and cheerful accents keep the atmosphere relaxed and coastal. It’s fully equipped for easy holiday cooking, whether you’re preparing breakfast before a beach walk or dinner with fresh produce from the local markets. Meals flow naturally to the dining area—a simple, social space that captures the home’s nostalgic charm.
Step outside to the balcony for glimpses of the ocean and the Murray River, or head down to the private deck and garden below for an afternoon barbecue or a quiet evening drink under the trees.
Two comfortable bedrooms continue the easy coastal mood: the first with a queen bed and the second with a double bed. Fresh linen and bath towels are provided, with an optional fold-out bed available on request.
The bathroom is minimalist and functional, featuring a shower and all essentials for a short stay. A washing machine and off-street parking add practical touches.
All linen and bath towels included. Please bring your own beach towels.
