The house is beautiful and so welcoming. We enjoyed our stay for 3 nights, finding everything just as we hoped—with easy access to amenities and a spacious fenced backyard perfect for our fur babies. It truly offers a peaceful and private retreat, complete with a charming coffee bar and reliable internet. I had to work one day, and I set up in the dining room, which had a stunning view of the backyard. It was the perfect spot for a race weekend getaway!

A summer charmer!

We loved staying at Kay’s summer house for a long weekend. It was an excellent spot to stay to explore the Mornington Peninsula, with wineries, farms, ocean views and delicious food only a short drive away. Kay was an excellent host who made our stay thoroughly enjoyable.

Lovely cottage

We had a lovely weekend stay at the artist's summer house. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen is really well equipped, there was plenty of yard for our dog and it's well-located for shops, beach and the hot springs. Communications with Kay were easy and efficient. A lovely place overall.

Cute Cosy Beach House

We loved this cute cosy beach house. We had a very enjoyable & relaxing family stay. Super location. The kitchen was perfectly equipped for cooking breakfasts and dinners for our group of six. The backyard was great (loved by all of us especially our dog) and the large outdoor shaded table was also a winner. The communication from Kay made everything so easy as well. Thanks Kay for a lovely week.

Comfortable stay close to shops and beach

Though very clean & comfortable, the house is quite small for a family, with one living area and no proper meals area to enable the family to eat together, unless outside if the weather permits. The facilities are very clean and oozing with personality. WIFi and a smart TV would also benefit the property for when weather is bad. Kay was super helpful in addressing any problems and easily contactable. Great fenced yard for our small dogs.

Fabulous Dog Friendly Home

A cozy, welcoming and dog friendly home that was fantastic for our family. We cannot understate the importance of a totally secure backyard for our dogs, and this home was perfect! We could leave the dogs outside when we were out without worrying about them escaping. Inside, the home is beautifully presented, very clean and the beds were super comfortable! There is no dining table but we managed fine, and enjoyed the DVD collection. The host is friendly and responsive. Will definitely return!

Had a wonderful stay

This was our first get a way since all the lockdowns and we could not have stayed in a better place. Excellent communication with Kay. We even experienced a small earthquake and she txt to see if we were ok. The place was so comfortable. Everything we needed, was there. And it was so clean. The location was superb - very quiet surroundings. And close to the beach and shops. Also we brought our little dog and we could leave her outside, with a peace of mind that she could not escape or go under the house. There was plenty of room in the back yard. All in all we would highly recommend this place and we will be back for another stay

Anniversary/greek Easter getaway

What a gem of a house. Cute, cosy and everything in between. The kitchen is fully equipped as I made a lamb roast to celebrate our Easter with my family and the outdoor setting was perfect. We then walked to the pier and strolled down the beach. It was a perfect weekend getaway. Thankyou Kay for your efficient communication.

A little gem of a place, with a good size fenced in garden suitable for small children or pets.

The moment you arrive you start to relax, Kay is amazing to deal with and nothing is too much bother, her communication is really good and she responds very quickly to any questions or requests. We are a family of five and have a dog and ended up taking an additional dog which the owner was very accomodating about. The house is compact but has a warmth and happiness to it and offers relaxation, with plenty of books to read or a piano to play. The property is very clean and during our 8 days not once did I need something that wasn't supplied which is actually a first. We also enjoyed the fact that we were close enough to walk or a short drive to the bars and cafes but far enough away to enjoy the peacefulness. We will definitely return and stay here again and if you are looking for a place with character and charm this would be an excellent option.

Awesome trip away

The house here is lovely and super well stocked. Very clean and welcoming. Quiet street. Beds are comfortable, lots of books and dvds and kitchen facilities. Washer and dryer is very useful. The fridge is massive. The yard is very secure and large which is great if you want to bring your dog. I’d recommend Zarb for coffee, Jukes for fish and chips and Jetty pasta was yum although servings weren’t large. Large playground down near the jetty. The dog beach is a drive but worth it for water dogs.

Great getaway!

We stayed 2 nights & couldn't have been happier. Kay's cottage is so charming. Set on a quiet street, a short drive from the waterfront & vineyards, and very comfortable. We were impressed with how clean the house is and appreciated the comfortable, quality linen & towels, and our kids loved the bunk beds and DVD collection! Kay is also very easy to communicate with & offered lots of recommendations to local wineries, restaurants and playgrounds. No wifi meant that we didn't spend any time on our devices and were able to really relax and unwind. Highly recommend booking this to enjoy your own family getaway!

About the host

Host profile image
I am born and raised in Melbourne , and enjoy spending time at Artist's Summer House with my husband, three children and two dogs. I have an interest in Art and Literacy and in my spare time I try to indulge in both passions. In between being a hostess for the Summer House, I have a legal background and are constantly driving children to soccer training and matches. I absolutely love it ! The Mornington Peninsula offers incredible diversity and I enjoy the wineries, its bookstores, the art galleries and of course its beaches. In my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful places in the world.
