An older property that is certainly "pure 70s" in style and decor. Perfect position across from the beach and enjoyed the open fire during the cold evenings .

We Love this place!!!

We have been going to Aqua Blue for 6 years and our whole family absolutely love it! The views across the ocean from the front deck are gorgeous. We love watching the drama of storms passing buy, the rainbows, the sparkling blue ocean and the stunning starry sky at night. It has everything we need and is a lovely, casual walk along the beach into town. It's our favourite place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. My family always ask if we can go there, at least once or twice a year.

Its True.... Paradise By the Sea

This absolutely comfortable home is a hidden gem being in an outstanding location. We parked the car and never started it again as we were comfortable to walk wherever we wanted to go. The home has a uniquely comfortable charm with heaps of room and heaps of zones to share or be on your own. The highlight is the outstanding view from the front deck. We just loved it from the moment we opened the door.

Perfect getaway in a very comfortable, well loved home.

As described in the listing, quirky vintage beach house in great location, with plenty of room for us all and our dog. We appreciated the firewood supply and multiple work locations. The real estate agent handling the property was great to deal with and provided helpful hints about local attractions. Looking forward to our next break here.

Perfect Winter Stay

Had a very comfortable winter stay at Aqua Blue. The house was clean and homely and we felt very well provided for. The view was beautiful and the walk into town easy. We enjoyed the jigsaw puzzles and browsing the bookshelves. It was also great to have a secure yard and deck so we didn’t have to worry about our dog making an escape. I was concerned we would be cold but the fire and heater quickly warmed the living room and the heaters in the bedrooms kept those rooms cosy too. Thank you for a great stay ☺️.

Old school beach vibe

This is the perfect old school beach house. Well maintained with great retro vibe. Perfect location across the road to the beach and walking distance to shops. Views from the main bedroom and living area are fantastic. Almost don’t want to write this review as I want this place all to myself!

The heater in the double room was not working and it was extremely cold in there. Apart from that everything else was great.

Perfect escape

I stayed here for a night short of a week with my little old dog. It was a perfect location. We watched the sun rise & fall each day. Morning sun drench the bed & the sound of the ocean rocked us to sleep. Beach walks and sits. I planned on a do nothing holiday with her and thats what we did. The house bigger than what a we needed, perfect for a family but just quietly i would not bring mine here. This is my special spot. I will def be back. It is a marvelous old beach house. Enjoy if you get the chance. Lisa & Lila ??
