Wake to the sound of waves and step straight from the deck onto the sand at this absolute beachfront retreat in Opossum Bay. Designed for comfort and connection, the home features open-plan living, polished concrete floors, a fully equipped kitchen, and space for families or groups. Spend your days swimming, beachcombing or relaxing in the hot tub, then enjoy sunset BBQs by the sea. This is a place to slow down, breathe deeply and truly unwind by the ocean.

This beautifully positioned beachfront home has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its extraordinary location. Inside, the layout is open and welcoming, with polished concrete floors flowing throughout the living and bathroom spaces, creating a relaxed coastal feel that’s both stylish and practical. Large sliding doors frame uninterrupted ocean views and open directly onto the deck, where a few steps lead you straight onto the sand.

The sleeping configuration is ideal for families or groups, offering a king bed, a queen bed, and three single beds set up in a fun and functional triple-bunk arrangement. The bathroom is modern and spacious, designed to handle sandy feet and salty swims with ease.

At the heart of the home is a fully equipped kitchen featuring induction and gas cooktops, an oven, generous bench space and all the essentials needed to prepare anything from quick breakfasts to long, shared dinners. The open-plan living and dining area is light-filled and comfortable, perfect for gathering after a day by the water.

Outside is where the magic continues. A private hot tub overlooks the beach, offering the perfect place to relax after a swim or coastal walk. There’s also a barbecue area for easy outdoor meals and an outdoor shower, ideal for rinsing off salt and sand before heading back inside. A separate beach shed provides handy storage for beach gear, keeping the main house clutter-free. With ducted heating and cooling throughout, the home remains comfortable year-round, no matter the season.

Guests have full access to the property. There are no shared spaces or areas that are off-limits during your stay.

Your privacy is paramount, but our dedicated management team is always just a message away for any questions or recommendations. We want your stay to be as seamless and enjoyable as possible, and our team is here to assist with anything you may need.
