Beautiful Stay

Honestly beautiful place, we will definitely stay again. The location is amazing, and the space is great for children and the dog 🐶 Only thing is the cleanliness. I would recommend suggesting cleaners do under the furniture and wipe down the drawers inside :-) just to get that extra star ⭐️ Otherwise amazing 🤩 Thank you for an awesome stay .

Weekend getaway with mates

We have stayed here before and enjoy it every time. Close to the beach for a surf or swim. Close to the bowling club for a meal. Close to the shops if you need anything. Comfortable for 4 people with good appliances, bathrooms, laundry and living spaces. Love the decks in the sun.

The perfect beach stay

So happy with our stay at Shelly Beach. The ease of being able to walk out the door with your beach bag and be on the sand in mere minutes is so relaxing. Shelly Beach is so beautiful,tranquil and has the added safety of being a Surf Lifesaving patrolled beach. Shelly Beach House was neat and tidy and well equipped for a comfortable stay. Shops and takeaways are very close and convenient, and if you can't tear yourself away there are plenty of restaurants that deliver. The only negative was that we eventually had to leave hahaha. Thank you to our host for sharing this beautiful seaside house with us. We will definitely be back!

Mini family break

The property was well situated and great for the family of 5. There were a few hurdles gaining access and confusion about our booking which caused a delay in checking in. This was however rectified relatively quickly by the property manager. The house is well appointed and comfortable. A bit of TLC and the place could be a cracker. This has already been covered in other reviews regarding lights, doors and cleanliness. However, would stay again as these were only minor inconveniences, the positives well outweighed the hurdles.

5 stars- highly recommend

Thank you so much Michael. 5 min walk from great coffee shop (dog friendly), 1min walk to regular beach, less than 10min walk to off-leash dog beach. Great little enclosed backyard for our dog. It was just me, my partner and my dog. However this house is so well equipped for a family to stay. Big fridge, great sized kitchen. Big family table out the front, out the back and inside. Big comfy couch. It has beach shack vibes. Board games. Big tv. We enjoyed our little getaway.

A lovely place in a good location, a short walk from Shelley Beach (and easy access to dog friendly North Shelley Beach). Nice cafe's and takeaways nearby. The only blemish was the floor under the furniture where are puppy was determined to store all her balls, old snacks and wrappers and dust, not too much, but enough to be icky. Also, you need to use the parking bay in front of the house, not the driveway, that wasn't clear to us, but no dramas.

Good location and good communication with property manager. Older accommodation. Creaky floorboards which usually wouldn’t be an issue but can be if you have a baby. Needed to manually close the blinds because the turning rod was broken. The light in the room also turned on randomly at night in the front room. Bed in front room, not fixed to the wall and moves. The fans are great as there is no air con. Needs several updates. Dated accom, but location is good.

Shelley Beach House old boys weekend.

We stay here a couple of times a year to catch up with old mates, have a surf and generally chill out. It really suits our needs. Close to beach, cafes, club and has a laid back beach house vibe with everything you need for a few days away. We enjoy it.

Perfect location, updated bathroom and kitchen, however property needs repairs screen doors don't lock/close so felt unsafe and no a/c and couldn't keep doors open at night, very hot and affected everyones sleep. The fans and lights in the bedrooms have a strange remote control so when one is turned on the lights or fans come on in other bedrooms - disrupted everyone's sleep. The couch is falling apart as is the outdoor furniture, which is unusable. The outside bin was missing its lid creating a haven for flies and other issues which seem easily repairable.
