About this property

Saltwater Escape—Live the Sand and Surf Lifestyle

In the trendy neighbourhood of Thirroul, this cute and central bungalow has everything on its doorstep. It’s an easy two-minute walk to the village, known for its café culture and stylish boutiques, and just five minutes from the sand and surf. Travel along the stunning Grand Pacific Drive, bush walk through the Illawarra Escarpment and cool off with a dip in Thirroul Pool. Come home to enjoy BBQs on your private patio or unwind within the living room, embracing the region’s relaxed lifestyle.
This classic bungalow exudes laidback coastal living. From the moment you arrive you will feel a sense of calm, enveloped by the fresh sea air. Stepping inside, open plan interiors flow to a private patio, creating a seamless transition between indoors and out and flooding the home in beautiful natural light.

The kitchen comes fully equipped for meals at home, with a BBQ out on the deck encouraging guests to whip up a feast. Dine alfresco or come together at the table indoors. This doubles as a dedicated workspace should you need to set up a laptop. There is a large TV catering to your evening entertainment and comfortable sofa seating under air conditioning to keep you cool.

Each of the two bedrooms has been immaculately presented for your stay with ceiling fans for a comfortable night’s sleep. The master comes with a king-sized bed along with a dedicated workspace and built-in mirrored wardrobes for storing your belongings. The second bedroom is set with a double bed, ideal for those travelling with kids or in a group. A main bathroom makes it easy to refresh with a spacious shower and complimentary toiletries for your stay. Guests will also have access to an internal laundry with a washing machine and second toilet, adding to your everyday convenience.

Parking is provided for one car off the driveway entrance.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
