Serenity Beach House Dolphin Sands
Free late checkout maybe available on request
Free late check out up to 5.00 pm may be available on request. Pet are welcome. This holiday home has generous decks on three sides accessed by sliding doors, ideal for indoor/outdoor living. Situated on 3 acres of native trees and shrubs, this creates an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of city living. Our holiday home stay has five bedrooms, three with queen beds, one with a king single and a single bed and one with three single beds. All have quilts and pillows, but we do require that guests bring their own sheets, pillow cases, towels and tea towels. Extra pillows and blankets are stored in the bedroom cupboards. There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining and living area. One bathroom has a shower over the bath, vanity unit, hand basin and toilet. The second bathroom has a shower, vanity and toilet. There is a separate laundry with a washing machine and trough, with direct access to an undercover clothes line and outside fish cleaning sink. The large outdoor setting and gas barbecue on one of the multiple decks provides the perfect spots for relaxing and enjoying an evening meal. The mozzie zapper guarantees your comfort and serenity. The wood heater can be used to warm the shack. The three acre property is fully fenced (ring lock), providing your dog with ample space to run and play. A fenced enclosure on the deck enables you to go out and leave you dog in a safe and restricted area with kennel and dog beds. We would prefer dogs to be kept outside particularly if wet and sandy. Before guests leave, we do ask that you leave the shack in a neat and tidy condition. With Nine Mile Beach being only a five minute walk and a further 25 minutes to Swansea you can spend a pleasant afternoon exploring this peaceful seaside town. Swansea also offers a golf course, exercise park and playground. Kate's Berry farm, wineries, Metus and The Lost Falls, Lake Leake (trout fishing) , Bicheno Wildlife Park, Freycinet National Park (Wineglass Bay) and Coles Bay are all within fifteen to forty five minutes drive.

We enjoyed our stay here and so did our dogs . A lovely location with only a short walk to beautiful Dolphin Sands Beach . We particularly liked sitting on the sunny deck having a morning cuppa. The house is clean and very large. There is an added bonus of a secure dog enclosure on the deck for patrons to use if needed.

There was a lot of confusion from the host as to whether or not they were supplying the linen. It was a work trip for us so we required that and it created unnecessary stress right before we were due to arrive

Hi Christian, the vrbo site did state we don’t usually supply linen as we are 140 km away.
However when your stay was booked we did respond to the lady that booked to let her know we would supply the linen and traveled up to sort it out. Not sure if she informed you , hence our discussion on the day of your stay.
Sorry for any confusion, we hope you enjoyed your stay and got your job done.
Cheers

This was our sixth stay at Serenity.We love Dolphin Sands and were relieved that the house survived another fire.We love the close proximity to a jaw dropping beach, Melshell Oysters, wineries, Swansea and Freycinet.We love the house - it has everything we need including a recently upgraded stove, functional cookware, and a new second bathroom.We can’t wait to come back!
Our extended family absolutely loved our stay! The property was exactly as described with good amenities and a lovely outdoor space for gathering. We can’t wait to visit again.
This was the PERFECT haven for our family group who had gathered from Europe and the mainland as well as Tassie. The house is just what you need, everything you need but not so spanking new you can’t relax. The setting is reminiscent of those magical beach holiday getaways from childhood it seems impossible to recreate. No joke, everyone raved about how excellent our time there was. Dallas gave clear, specific, easy to follow instructions and providing our own linen was a snap! This is a very precious holiday house, be glad if you find it and enjoy! There were 4 adults and 3 kids in our group and everyone was happy.

Thanks for your review Susan, we love it up there(when we get the chance to go!1). Cheers Dallas
The property was a delight to stay at, clean and with everything that is needed, loved the outdoor space and proximity to beach and Swansea.Owner messaged immediately when I made an enquiry. Would definitely stay again Had a lovely time
This was our fifth stay at Serenity as a family.
We love the relaxed house and the laid back vibe of Dolphin Sands / Swansea.
The house has most things you need for a relaxed beach holiday!
Extended family, 6 adults and 5 children, had a great time here. Large property and bedroom arrangements were perfect for our group. Close to beach and house well set up with amble furniture and essential items etc. Had a great time and would go back again.
