Despite the nice looking interior pics in the listing, I was still a little worried as we pulled into the driveway of this place. While the front garden is neat, the house does not look like much from the street with its older style brick appearance and weathered looking garage door.
However once we stepped inside, any concerns were instantly washed away by a clean, modern, open space. Pulling up the blinds and taking in the bay view from the living room just takes it up a notch.
If anything, the pictures undersell how spacious this house is. The lounge suite with its two big three seater couches, two big single lounge seats and two foot stools still left heaps of room for the kids to play on the floor with the large selection of games and puzzles in the “hidden” cupboard.
The two main bedrooms are huge, with loads of space even after having king beds in them.
Plenty of dining space, with the nice touch of a kids table & chairs for those who need it and plenty of kids plates, bowls, cups etc in the kitchen.
The kitchen is clean and has everything you’ll need, including a big empty shelf in the large pantry for your supplies.
The sandy beach across the road, advertised in the listing, is quite small but is perfect for those with young kids or anyone just interested in lazing about. The only drawback with this one is there’s not a lot of beach left there at high tide. There is also another bigger but still fairly quiet beach a few hundred metres down the street with more sand available when the tide is in.
With large north facing windows and other facing west, the place does get quite warm but the central cooling system is absolutely excellent.
Oh, it also has probably the best shower head I’ve found outside of a luxury hotel.
