Wonderful house, perfect for a family. Beautifully decorated and a lovely big deck to watch the world go by. And great access to the beach and lighthouse. The host was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful, could not have asked for better.

Thank you so much Brett for your lovely review.
So glad you enjoyed your stay. We love hosting and have always had the most delightful guests over the last 20 years. Hope you can return again soon. Thank you and all the very best to you and your family
A lovely house in a perfect location. Everything was spotlessly clean and so thoughtfully prepared for guests. Thank you Dee for another lovely holiday in your beautiful home.
Very comfortable and charming with every little thing supplied, feels like home, great location for the beach as well as the shops, very pretty setting, great outdoor living areas, small but perfect, easily accommodated our whole family, and with a generous and very helpful host/manager.
By the Sea is fantastically located, near all amenities and the beaches and the lagoon - a short walk to the lighthouse.
The property has everything that you need to have a restful break, with a number of inside and outside convivial spaces.
Would definitely book again

Thank you Rob. We loved having you. Hope to welcome you again!
We had a lovely break at ‘By the Sea’. Great house, great location, fantastic deck!
Dee takes much pride in her property and genuinely wants you to enjoy your stay and fall in love with the place. Walking distance to beach, shops and lighthouse. A great place to relax and unwind with plenty to do near by (if you want)!
Highly recommended!
We absolutely loved our stay here. It is in such an incredible location.
The house was great! It had everything we needed. We had such a relaxing few nights away just exploring the area, our two year old loved the seeing the Rabbits in the front yard.
We would definitely like to come back sometime in the future.
Our family has stayed here a couple of times now. This is a very comfortable well set up house with a lovely fenced yard for our dog. The house is in a great location, close to the beach, Lighthouse and lots of walking paths nearby. Thanks Dee!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely house. It is in a great location and so clean - with all the home comforts plus some extra thoughtful touches. Great communication with the owners. Thanks Dee and Kevin for another wonderful stay!
Fantastic property for spending some time at the sea. A short stroll to the beach, the lighthouse, or some nice local restaurants incl the fantastic A La Grecque. Property was comfortable and had everything we needed. Would have liked a coffee machine but no major issue as we generally bring a moka pot with us. The front of the property doesn't have a fence so if bringing a dog with selective hearing (like mine) you may need to tie them up when sat on the decking for your morning coffee. No internet connection but good mobile coverage and nice to disconnect anyway. Overall had a very enjoyable stay and would def come again
We had a wonderful time at Dee’s beautiful house. It’s walking distance to Airey’s dog beach, something our pooch loved and the house is cosy with a lovely yard and quick access to shops. Loved it!
The house is welcoming and warm , little touches of art and creativity around the house along a warm gas fireplace gives you that feeling of a loved and cared house.
Dee is very welcoming and very helpful.
I wish I booked it for longer
Thanks Dee for being such a great host. Our getaway was just what was needed. Your property was fabulous, loved all the boats. Hopefully we will be back! Thanks again.

Perfect holiday home that’s large enough to take the whole family or quiet enough for a couples getaway. Food and walking trails all within walking distance. We were allowed to take a little Cavoodle with us which made our holiday that much more amazing. Would highly recommend staying here as Aireys inlet is a beautiful town and worth checking out.
We had a lovely time. The property is very beautiful and welcoming.
It was nice and clean just one towel was dirty and I only saw it after using it so that felt disappointing but other then that one thing, we had a lovely time. I would be coming back!
The communication with the owner is easy and the location is perfect.
It is a place that was designed to give a good feeling and that is truly felt.
A lovely property with everything we needed and lots of extra touches for a very enjoyable stay. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach and shops. The owners were very friendly with easy communication.
