Emerald Beach House is truly the perfect beach house - with simple but stunning beach inspired décor - tasteful art and great comfort together with stunning ocean views - a few minutes walk to the sand and a charming beach village vibe at Emerald, this place was everything we hoped it would be. It exceeded our expectations - style and comfort and beautiful location. We dined at 2 restaurants and both were wonderful - one with a sophisticated menu and décor and the other simple Italian - great food - great atmosphere and the former with beautiful views. It rained quite a bit and we didn't care - the house is lovely to spend time in. We were greeted by Chris' very helpful and friendly caretaker who told us everything we needed to know about walks and places to eat. We shared the rain with some highly entertaining and beautiful Lorikeets sheltering on the verandah from the rain. We would go back tomorrow - 3 days not long enough. Thanks Chris for providing such a perfect relaxing beach retreat.
