Sweet but small

The house is cute and in a great location - just a short drive to everything. It was also a great price for peak period. Sitting under the fairy lights at night is beautiful. The pizza oven is a great addition. Negatives - The cleaners missed several major things so we advised the owners and that probably won't happen again. I think it's too small for the advertised 10 as the sofa bed is in the small lounge area which means people could not use the couches. I know that's in the detail but it's hard to work out the exact size of rooms with photos. We had to contact the owner for linen for the sofa bed even though we booked for nine. Would have been nice to have a couple of spare hand towels and bath mats as one didn't cut it with nine people drying their hands for one week. We had to go purchase more. Only four dinning chairs, a few stackable small stools would have meant more people could sit at once at the table. We couldn't use the cupboards due to the musty smell :-/ Sounds like a lot of negatives but a few little changes could make it a lot better and we were grateful for getting a place in such close location to all the beaches.

Wonderful home, better than pictures.

We had a wonderful time away at this home - the pictures don’t do it justice. Unfortunately we had horrible weather the whole time so couldn’t utilise the incredible outdoor space, but everything else was great. We did have to get a new gas bottle / lighter for oven but that was fine. Would stay again.

Fantastic birthday away

We had such a great holiday away with friends for my birthday. The house was in a great location and just what we needed. The only suggestion is to update your photos because we were surprised at how much nicer it was and looked from the photos. Overall great home!

About the host

Hosted by Mario & Marianthe

Host profile image
We’re a family who genuinely loves spending time in Jervis Bay and created Vita a Mare as a place for families and friends to relax, reconnect and enjoy the simple pleasures of coastal living. We’ve thoughtfully set up the home to be comfortable, practical and welcoming — the kind of place we enjoy staying in ourselves.

Hosting allows us to share this special part of the South Coast with others, and we take pride in providing a clean, well-equipped home and clear communication so guests can enjoy a stress-free stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose Old Erowal Bay for its peaceful, family-friendly feel and its proximity to everything Jervis Bay has to offer. It’s close enough to iconic beaches, bushwalking trails, fishing spots and the vibrant Huskisson dining precinct, yet tucked away in a quiet seaside enclave where you can truly unwind.

We love the balance of nature and convenience — early morning birdlife, calm bay waters, stunning sunsets, and being just minutes from shops, cafés and everyday essentials.

What makes this property unique

Vita a Mare offers the space and flexibility that families and groups appreciate, with multiple living areas, a separate games room, a fully fenced yard and comfortable indoor–outdoor flow. It’s designed to suit relaxed holidays, whether that means beach days, fishing trips, family meals, or quiet nights by the fire pit.

With thoughtful touches throughout, high-speed Starlink internet, and ongoing plans to introduce wellness-inspired outdoor features, the home is continually evolving to offer guests a memorable and comfortable coastal retreat they’ll want to return to.
