About this property

ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT - Smooth Sailing Yorke Peninsula

We offer a beautiful beachfront 3 bedroom holiday house where you can sit back and enjoy the magnificent views of Coobowie Bay to the lights of Edithburgh and Wind Farm. There is no road between you and the beach, just step off the front verandah to the lawn leading onto the sand. Internet provision is included, no big downloads please, (bring your Netflix and Stan account details ). House is tastefully decorated and includes modern and quality features. The master bedroom has an ensuite and sliding door to front deck. Bedroom 2 also has sliding door to front deck. Lay back in bed and have that first cup of tea staring at the ocean views and weather of the day. Grass lawns to the front for kids to play.
The house comes with fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher with quality crockery and a Nespresso Coffee Machine. The lounge room has a 75cm smart TV, Bluetooth music pod system.
Reverse Cycle Air-conditioner. Ceiling Fans to Bed 1, Bed 2, and Living, with electric blankets to add to the comfort, and panel heaters in winter.
Quality quilts and pillows are provided all you need to bring our your own sheets, pillowcases, towels, and bath mat.

The backyard is fully fenced making it safe for small children, and your pet is welcome (By Approval). Out of respect for guests with allergies and health issues pets are not allowed on beds or furniture, and we ask they be kept to the living area where possible. Please reach out to us about helping ensure any fur family is welcome, protected, and happy. We would prefer they sleep in their own beds in the laundry or on their bed in the living room or in warm weather on the deck outside.

There is ample car parking for cars, boats, and trailers. New carport available for 2 cars.

We provide a fish cleaning sink/area (there's plenty of fish to catch in these and nearby waters).

There is a new gas BBQ, Weber Kettle, and outdoor setting.

A light and peaceful place to stay

We loved staying here. Such a comfortable home with a wonderful view, lots of birds and a very quiet area. We spent a huge amount of time sitting on the deck, relaxing and eating oysters from Stansbury.

Relaxing stay with water views

Had a very nice relaxing holiday with our small dog watching the sunrises from our bed and sunsets from the balcony whilst overlooking the bay. Couldn’t swim in the bay, but plenty of beautiful beaches within driving distance. Nice house tastefully decorated with a coastal theme fitting of the location. House was set up with everything we needed and was very comfortable.

Beachside bliss

Smooth Sailing is a lovely house set on the beach at Coobowie. A perfect spot for an early morning walk followed by breakfast on the verandah. The rooms were all spacious and comfortable and the area is quite peaceful. A great place to unwind and relax for a few days.

Coobowie

We enjoyed our stay at Guy & Julie's Beachfront holiday house very much. The property was very clean and comfortable, in a great location, which was very quiet and peaceful. Every day we just walked off the deck and onto the sandhills for a long walk on the beach. The fishing was also good , Gaz caught crabs, whiting and squid, unfortunately he lost he's favourite fishing rod, while out fishing, it was taken by a very large fish. We will definitely come back to this lovely house and spent some more time!!Gaz & Gaynor & Ziggy
