Salty Hair | Sandy Feet | Happy Kids | Tired Dogs – That’s How We Holiday
Looking for a beach break where the kids roam free, the dog’s living its best life, and you actually get to relax for once? You’ve just found it.
Our home is made for families who play hard, laugh loud, and crash early (with full bellies and sun-kissed cheeks). Whether you’re chasing waves, cruising on bikes, or just chasing your toddler around a giant backyard, we’ve got the space, comfort, and coastal charm to make it easy.
- 🏄♂️ Close to the beach – bring your board or borrow the boogie
- 🧒 Kid-friendly layouts – no stairs of doom or breakables on shelves
- 🐾 Pets welcome – big fenced yards and zero judgment
- 🍳 BBQs, backyards & breezy verandahs – made for barefoot dinners
- 👨👩👧👦 Run by real people (us) – and our local legend Kerri
This is the kind of holiday that ends with messy hair, full hearts, and a car full of wet towels and great memories.
Book your spot, pack the thongs, and get ready to drift into beach mode.
