About this property

Lil Blue Surf Shack—A Playful Coastal Hideaway

Your stay begins behind a classic white picket fence, leading you onto an inviting front porch where chairs and a gently swaying hammock immediately set the pace. It’s a welcoming spot for morning coffee before the beach or a quiet pause in the afternoon as the coastal breeze drifts through, easing you into the relaxed rhythm of the shack.

The shack opens into a relaxed living area designed for downtime after sandy days. Comfortable seating, natural light, and split-system cooling create an easy, welcoming space—ideal for movie nights, board games, or unwinding after sunset beach walks.

Just beyond, the dining area is warmed by a fireplace that becomes a natural gathering point on cooler evenings. The vintage kitchen retains its original character while remaining practical and easy to use, flowing seamlessly into the dining space where shared meals and unhurried conversation set the rhythm of the day, from casual breakfasts to relaxed dinners after time spent by the coa

Outdoors, the large, fully fenced yard offers plenty of room to spread out and relax. Kids can play freely, dogs can roam safely, and the BBQ sets the scene for laid-back outdoor dinners. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off salt and sand simple before winding down for the evening.

Three bedrooms are each styled as a comfortable retreat with calming blue tones that tie seamlessly into the shack’s playful coastal theme. Two bedrooms offer queen beds, while the third includes a tri-bunk with a double bed below and a single above—ideal for children or flexible group stays. Fresh linen and bath towels are provided for added comfort and convenience.

A recently renovated bathroom delivers clean, modern comfort, paired with a separate toilet for added practicality. Laundry facilities are also available, making longer stays feel easy and relaxed. Off-street parking is provided on the driveway.

One well-behaved dog welcome with prior approval. $75 pet fee applies.

All bed linen and bathroom towels are provided (please bring your own beach towels).

A portacot is available to hire for a fee—please let us know at the time of booking if you require this.
