Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar, 2025
Thanks Tarik. Yes many beds and yes it does resemble a cottage in the woods. The house is a Canadian kit home which was imported to Australia many years ago. It used to have a shale roof which unfortuately did not like our hot summer weather and really is the only thing we have changed. Hope to see you again. Julie
Great beach house very close to Carrakalinga Nth, 5min walk. Plenty of room, comfy couch and beds and nice deck area. Looking forward to our next stay.

The property was very comfortable and we very much enjoyed the open fire with great views. We also took advantage of the great strolls to be had to the beach and local area. The property also suited us as it was very secure for our small dog.

A very relaxing stay. Julie is a wonderful host, very accommodating and so easy to communicate with. We took our 10yo Blue Heeler, she loved the fully fenced large yard. Close to beach and very relaxing. We had some hot weather, so effective air-conditioning and fans were very much appreciated. Will stay again. which she loved.

About the host
Hosted by Julie Carter
Why they chose this property
We used to rent ths property in Winter for my husbands birthday and school holidays and loved the beautiful open fire place and views of the wild and woolly sea from the living area. We then started renting it for December school holidays and loved it so much that when it came up for buying we could not resist. So close to the beach, very short walk and just my home away from home. We have tried to include everything you will need for your stay including herbs and spices, pots and pans, glasses and staples ie cling wrap, garbage bags, alfoil etc. In the busy periods these may run out and I apologise in advance as when we have back to back rentals it is very hard to get down and replace, so please do bring some just incase.
What makes this property unique
2 minute walk to the beautiful beach.
