Almost on the beachfront - 4 houses away - you can hear the waves.
Some holiday houses are great for dogs but horrible for their owners or the other way around. Life's A Beach is truly dog and human friendly and is only a short and quiet walk to the beach. It is scrupulously clean with a well-equipped kitchen, good linen and a great big back yard, that can be enjoyed by humans and dogs alike. It's securely fenced so there's no danger your doggy pal will escape. The best bit is that it's located only 4 doors from Culburra's main beach, facing a bush reserve in a quiet cul-de-sac.
It's the small details that make staying at Life's A Beach a treat. Although a traditional fibro weekender, it is fully insulated - floors, walls and ceiling! We also provide a good collection of useful kitchen essentials as well as dog beds and toys for your hound. And of course, nothing beats the wood stove in the colder months!
Sleeps 8 people: two double beds, one triple bunk bed and one trundle bed. The double beds are in a room each and the bunk beds and trundle are in the third bedroom.
The cottage has 3 showers, 3 toilets, 2 baths.

Perfect little spot for a quick weekend away. Such a fun house, and a great location! Minutes to the beach and you can hear the waves crashing from the lovely deck out the back.
Everything was fabulous! The location, the house, the yard, we all had a great time, including the dogs! Really thoughtful touches like holiday collar tags we great! The mid century vibe was just lovely! We will definitely be back!!!

Thank you so much Lynne. Love to have you come and stay again.
Kitchen really does have all mod cons. Beds are comfy. Very quiet neighbourhood. The undercover verandahs are well set up for meals and snoozy reads when not out and about. Backyard is private and protected from high winds. Wonderful old tree. Beaut beachy gardens - and did I mention the decor?

A fabulous retro-style cottage with all the comforts of home, and colourful fun deco.
Perfect location. Walking distance to the beach, and close to the boat ramp. Short drive to the shops, Bowling Club and skate park.
We had a very enjoyable, relaxing family holiday that we didn't want to end, and would highly recommend this property for a relaxing getaway!

Thank you Nycole for your great review. Would love to have you stay with us again.
We have had an absolutely amazing time here. The family don’t want to leave - wish we could stay forever. It is about 60 seconds to the beach, the outdoor shower is perfect in return for all including the furry family member. The house is so welcoming and toasty warm. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Thank you Jo for your great review. We are so glad that you had a fabulous time away and hope it was a welcome break from the craziness of the corona virus. Love to have you return.
2 days in extremely wet weather we’re just fine. Plenty of room and space to entertain two young kids with 4 adults. Seem to have thought of everything!

So sorry peter that you had such terrible weather but pleased that you and your family found things to do. Please come again, hopefully experience the house in the sunshine.
We had the most amazing and relaxing time in this cute beach house. Puppies loved the amazing yard and playing on the beach. We hope to be back one day.
Excellent location to the beach and a short drive to all shops etc.
We had a fantastic stay here and wished we could stayed longer. Easy access to the beach and our little dog had the best time in the huge backyard also. It was clean and we loved the 50’s retro feel. Would definitely recommend this property.
A terrific and fun retro place, so clean and neat, everything provided, perfect big yard for both children and animals and so close to the beach, plenty of room for our family of 4 and bub, a wonderful weekend getaway
A 50s inspired home in a great location. House is wonderful, owners great to deal with and the most pet friendly place I’ve stayed. We will be back. Loved it.

Thank you so much Suzanne. Pleased that you had a great getaway.
What a wonderful find for the long weekend. A retro treat of a property that thought about many aspects to help make our stay more comfortable. The house and surrounds were very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and some really thoughtful pantry additions which helped make meal prep easy. Great access to beach. Loved the atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

We loved staying here. It really felt like an Australian beach holiday. We loved the retro vibe, the property was clean and had everything you could need in a home away from home. We really enjoyed our relaxed time and hope to visit again.

So very pleased you enjoyed yourselves. Love to have you stay again. Cheers Nicky
A wonderfully charming retro house. Felt like we were ‘coming home’. Large home but kept cosy with the wood burning fire. Wonderful outdoor secure space for the dogs.
Moments to the beach, it was a truly relaxing short winter escape.
Can’t wait to visit when it is warmer to take advantage of all the outdoor facilities at the property.

Great retro, house near the beach
We had a great stay at the house. It's retro, but not old, clean and has a great backyard for dogs. It's really close to the beach too which is very convenient. Overall, a great place!

Perfect, comfortable and pet friendly
We really enjoyed our stay - as did the pups. The bed and linen are super comfortable. The kitchen is easy to cook in, with the bbq for salad and steak nights. Proximity to the beach is spot on. Fences are secure, and the dogs loved watching the street through the gate. We’ve stayed before and will stay again.
