About this property

Pearlie @ Pearl Beach, NSW. Retro Beach House. 5 minute walk to beach.

Hark back to the retro beach holidays of a by-gone era in this 1940’s Beach House fully fitted out with modern facilities and designer styling for the ultimate family holiday only 90km North from Sydney CBD in the stunning National Trust Village of Pearl Beach.

Follow on instagram pearlie_pearl_beach - we follow many of the amazing local businesses you can enjoy.

Freshly painted outside with a new lease of life - (more external photos to come) and comfortably fitting 8 people - whether it is 2 families (4 adults and 4 children), a large family or group of friends it is a great location for a weekend away or extended holiday.

A short, flat walk to the beach (two streets back from the beach), through the quiet streets, Pearlie offers a relaxing holiday experience in a single level, fully fenced residence. This modern, airy, 3 bedroom/ 2 bathroom cottage has lime-washed floors and a wrap-around verandah, leading to the large outdoor deck and back yard. Pearlie is superbly positioned close to the beach, Pearl Beach General Store and Café, children's playground, and the new and exciting Amalfi, Pearl Beach restaurant.

Pearlie has modern furniture, and a well-equipped kitchen with glassware, crockery. and a comprehensive range of cookware. An electric cooktop, oven and dishwasher makes cooking and cleaning easy. Appliances include kettle, toaster, toasted sandwich maker, rice cooker, milk shake and food chopper. The laundry contains a new washing machine and dryer.

There is an outdoor shower, a convenient option after a day at the beach.

Pearlie comfortably sleeps 8 guests, with the main (incl ensuite) and guest room containing queen beds, with the third room containing two bunk beds (4 single beds in total). All beds have quality mattresses, duvets and pillows. All linens for beds and towels will be provided.

During winter a log fireplace provides cozy warmth in the living room, perfect for watching TV or DVDs. Note there is no WiFi or Foxtel at the property.

A feature is the large backyard with covered verandah with outdoor gas heater. This space has a lounge area and large outdoor dining table - which seats at least 8 people, perfect for a BBQ lunch or dinner. The large backyard is grassed, fully fenced, and safe for children and small pets (please keep pets outdoors).

A 5-10 minute drive away is Umina where you will find major supermarkets and specialty shops. Coles and Woolworths offer Click and Collect Concierge Services.

Pearl Beach village is 90 minutes north of Sydney's CBD. From Sydney take the M1 north from Hornsby, exit at the Gosford turn-off, and about 2km later turn right at the lights onto Woy Woy Road. From Woy Woy make your way towards Umina via Ocean Beach Road and follow the signs towards Pearl Beach/Patonga. The Pearl Beach exit to the left is first, then follow the road down the hill to this little piece of paradise.

The location
Pearl Beach is a perfect place to relax with family and friends, or as a couple. It is quiet and secluded, but close to many attractions and amenities, the highlight being the beach, which overlooks Lion Head. Photos provided of these idyllic locations which are nearby.
The Cromellin Nature Arboretum is well worth a visit and wander through enjoying the tall trees, native birds and the odd wallaby! A more strenuous but very scenic walk is the Pearl Beach to Patonga trail, where the iconic Patonga Boathouse awaits. Stunning beaches at Ocean Beach, Umina, Killcare and Avoca are all a short but beautifully scenic drive. On rainy days you can check out the markets in Ettalong or catch a movie at the gorgeous Ettalong Cinema Paradiso. Hardy's Bay (behind Killcare Beach) is well worth a visit to check out the shops, art gallery and cafes. Yoga in the Pearl Beach Hall rounds out a perfect holiday.

Pearlie's Policies
- Maximum of 8 guests - No smoking inside - Pet-friendly, outside only - No parties - Noise to be kept to a level that is consistent with residential area.

A memorable beach getaway

We loved staying at Pearlies, comfortable and everything there to make our stay easy and fun. The outdoor shower was a plus and the big back yard a real hit. The location is wonderful with lots of mature trees, the Kookaburras were regular visitors, and an easy walkto the beach

Charming little gem

A neat and charming little gem tucked quietly away between paper bark trees with plenty of spaces under cover to spread out, including a fabulous family friendly, level grassy backyard on which to play soccer or throw a frisbee.

Perfect for a weekend break

A cute reminder of old Pearl Beach. In the best part of the village, just a short walk to the beach. Birds greet your rising and the ocean’s waves sing you to sleep.

Cute retro pad

This house was ideal for our family of four. It was equipped with everything we needed and in a great location, only a short walk to the beach. It had a huge backyard that was awesome for the kids and a great outdoor set up for bbq’s. We love Pearl Beach and would stay here again.
