About this property

Paws n Relax - Pet friendly, walk to off leash beach and cafes

  • There’s a blend of rainforest, Bali and Byron Bay in this relaxed, elevated 3-bedroom, pet-friendly home, less than a 10-minute walk from Lighthouse Beach.

    Across the street, you’ll find a tropical wetlands boardwalk and birdwatching area that leads towards the 4WD and off-leash dog beach, as well as camel rides. Dogs are permitted off-leash south of the beach access and north towards Watonga Rocks. The patrolled surf beach is a short walk along the sand, past Watonga Rocks.

    The path across the street also leads to Blair Reserve, featuring a playground and dirt bike track. Great little cafes and convenience shops are just a 5-minute walk away, while Coles, a pharmacy and Tacking Point Tavern are approximately 4km away.

    The home has been renovated at the front, with the original character retained at the back. The kitchen, living and dining areas, along with the deck, have been updated, while the bathroom and bedroom windows remain original.

    The home is clean and tidy, with beautiful ocean breezes when you open the windows and let the fresh air flow through. Lighthouse Beach can be seasonally humid, and the home is nestled amongst the trees. Sit back and relax on the large deck, listening to the sounds of the waves and local wildlife.

This home was great for our family and dog for the week. It had everything we needed and the location was brilliant - walking distance to local shops, coffee and dog friendly beach. The deck was a lovely place to be, especially in the mornings when it caught the autumn sun. The bedrooms and living space were a little on the small side for our family of two teenagers however the price point was really reasonable. Thanks for a great stay!

North facing deck for outdoor relaxation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was perfectly located in a quiet street close to beaches, coffee shop and super market. Its a comfortable cottage with a large north facing outdoor area. Pet friendly. Comfortable beds, equipped kitchens and clean bathroom. The only thing i could suggest is a gate above the internal and external stairwells. Property agent was very responsive and helpful

Delightful Modern Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a delightful beach themed and lovingly prepared holiday home. My dogs and I were lucky enough to have stayed 6 weeks there. Sun drenched HUGE balcony, three great size bedrooms and modern kitchen. The owners have gone to great effort to think of absolutely anything you could want in the home making it seem very much like your home away from home. Loved our stay and just adored the owners I was lucky enough to meet. Delightful!!! HIGHLY recommended!!!
