A classic beach house in a great spot. Corsair Cottage has 2 bedrooms, 1 with a queen bed and the other with twin bunks, sleeping 6 in total.
Cross the road & it's about a 300m walk to a sheltered swimming and dog friendly beach. Less than a 30 min beachfront boulevard stroll to Pt Lonsdale shops & the same distance to Queenscliff. You can choose whether you stroll along the dog beach, through the Moonahs via 'Lovers walk' or along the shores of Swan Bay.
Rinse off from the surf in the outdoor shower or at night lay back in the outdoor bath under stars listening to the surf.
Corsair Cottage is perfect for kids. It's opposite the beach, room to run and play in the front yard or cubby and it is a few hundred metres to a skate park and marine discovery centre which has great school holiday programs. The property is well connected to various kid safe bike and scooter trails.
Please BYO linen including sheets, towels and tea towels. Pillows and doonas are provided.
Off street parking is available out the front of the property.
The property is a great holiday for your dogs too. Many say the dog beach opposite is one of the best in the state, the best part is you don’t need to load wet and sandy dogs into your car. The property is fully fenced. Pets are welcome inside, we just ask that you keep them off furniture and clean up after them.
Please note: As we are in a residential area and friendly with our neighbours, we do not accept schoolies groups, hens or bucks parties or functions of any sort.

Needs work to be done on it. Front sliding door is very tight to side, my wife struggled with it. Exhaust fan in kitchen and laundry don’t work. No outdoor light in front yard very dangerous at night. Shower head keeps dropping down. Instruction file needs updating a lot of information wrong. No plug in bathroom sink. Clothes line unsuitable.Pictures on your site were misleading. Lounge and lounge chair very uncomfortable.Location brilliant and with a bit of work house would be very good.

Thanks for your feedback, we are always keen to make improvements based on our guest’s feedback.
We certainly wish you’d reached out about your concerns during your stay as we could have done some things to improve your stay. We could have let you know that the sink plug was most likely around the outside bath as guests regularly move them out there. We could have also let you know that what you are describing in laundry and kitchen aren’t actually exhaust fans, but rather vents designed provide airflow (I.e they don’t turn on or off).
We actually had a brand new clothesline ready to put up that was mounted after you checked out as guests over the Easter break snapped the old one. Likewise, the solar light out the front of the house has since been replaced. We would have been happy to replace both these things during your stay had we known they were impacting your stay.
Thanks for letting us know that the information book wasn’t up to date. We did a renovation on the bedrooms a few months ago. We removed the bulky old wardrobe, replaced carpet and replaced the bunks, so we’ll update the book to let people know that the things that were stored in the cupboard are now stored elsewhere.
Thanks also for letting us know about the couch. After feedback from guests and the cleaner, we recently upgraded this to a leather couch to make it more suitable to keep clean with sand and pets, but we’ll look at what we can do to make it more comfortable.

A host that went above and beyond to ensure our stay was great. The TV had issues and he offered to be there in 30 minutes with a new one. And an amazing dog beach within 5 minutes walk is a huge bonus !
Really Really enjoyed my stay here. Very well set up for families and pets. Every appliance, book or toy you could want was here.Host was welcoming and provided clear instructions on need to supply bedding and towels. I highly recommend this accommodation and wouls love to stay here again!
Small cabin style house that was tidy and had everything we needed. Nice yard area for the dog but no covered area outdoors. Short walk to the best dog beach in the state. Doggy heaven. Really enjoyed our stay.
Our dog loved being so close to the beach! Property is in an ideal location to use as a base for exploring the surrounding areas. House had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.
We enjoyed our stay , and found the holiday home had all that we needed .
The weather was not the best but we were able to explore the area and the beach .
It was handy to be near the dog beach for our small dog .
Property owner was great to deal with, house was clean and tidy.
Kids and dog enjoyed the big yard running around and playing tennis.
Will definitely come back!
This was a great house for a weekend away with the family. Walking distance to Point Lonsdale for a coffee, the skate park for our son and the beautiful dog beach for our fluffies. The accommodation was very comfortable with everything we needed.
The location of the property was excellent and I enjoyed lots of walks along the beach area with my little dog and we had a wonderful time.
You could hear the beach waves at times and the high tides with really strong wind meant for spectacular waves.
