About this property

Frankies Beach House, family and pet friendly

This stunning 1970’s beachfront home is arguably one of Encounter Bay’s finest esplanade positions with unbeatable panoramic ocean views taking in The Bluff, Wright Island, Seal Rock and Granite Island.
Located steps to the iconic Yilki Store, the Beach House Cafe and a short walk to Whalers Inn. For boat and fishing lovers, the boat ramp is a short 1 min drive.
Victor Harbor shopping district is a mere 7 min drive or take the bike track along the coast.

Featuring three bedrooms, Master with King bed and smart tv, bedroom 2 with Queen bed and the third bedroom with 2 single beds as well as two trundle beds.
All bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms; the main bathroom with bath and walk in shower as well as separate toilet, and the second bathroom located off the laundry and offers a walk in shower and second toilet.

A spacious living room features a huge smart tv which connects directly to the complimentary wifi and gives you a chance to relax in front of the electric fire place and watch your favourite Netflix or Stan show. The ocean view out of those expansive windows is also very captivating.
The kitchen is well equipped with all you’ll need to prepare meals and a Nespresso coffee pod machine for that morning cuppa on the front deck while you watch the sunrise.
There is a fully secure rear yard with fire pit, dining table for entertaining and BBQ. Plenty of space for the kids to play and the family fur baby to be securely contained.
One well behaved non shedding dog is welcome on holiday with you. Please let us know if you’re bringing a pet. There is a $75 pet fee payable. Sorry dogs who drop a lot of hair may be allowed but cannot be inside the house at all.

Wonderful holiday

Thank you for an excellent holiday rental with full luxury facilities thoughtfully provided. We felt rested and peaceful in a well located lovely side of town, with the most wonderful seafront views. We very much look forward to returning again soon.

Wonderful getaway

A very comfy stay at the beach/bay. The practical provision supplied in the kitchen exceeded our expectation and just added to our experience at Frankie’s Beach House. Loved the view and easy access to beach, Yilki store and Pizza Bar.

Perfect location

Loved our stay , house was well equipped with quality appliances, crockery , large tvs and comfy beds/ linen. A great base for beach walks and spots to grab lunch or dinner. I also liked the art. Some wood for out door fire pit would have been nice as it’s featured in pics, but that’s was a minor issue.

Beautiful sea views from the house -- beach across from the house great for the grandies -- found trundle bed a bit awkward -- not cleaned under the single beds -- we did enjoy our stay -- Thankyou

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Nice location, however ongoing construction works along the esplanade meant the nice outlook was obscured by fencing and signage with restricted and limited access to the beach and esplanade footpath. We would have booked somewhere else if this was known as this was the main reason for going there. No guide or instructions on how to use TV, heating (cold house) appliances etc, was a bit frustrating. Pet friendly but no sheltered/dry area outside to stay out of the rain. House was neat and tidy but some areas not well cleaned since last guests. No towels in one of the bedrooms. Was advertised with having kids books and toys but nothing there other than a couple of games. Were asked to strip the beds before we left, not sure if this is standard with these house rentals as it was the first time we have done this but seemed a bit odd given the price paid to stay there. Beach House Cafe and Whalers Dining close by, both very good.
