About this property

Seaside Chalet at Smiths Beach

This beautiful, spacious and comfortable four bedroom home is an easy walk to popular Smiths Beach and a short drive to Cowes and Phillip Island's attractions.

Surrounded by lush gardens in a fully enclosed yard, the house has a well furnished deck with a hot tub, while the lawn area includes a cubby house and plenty of space for kids to play.

Inside, the house has a master mezzanine bedroom with a king bed and full bathroom upstairs, and three ground level bedrooms (two queen beds and one double bed) and a central full bathroom.

The house also has a portable cot as well as a high chair. Please note that the configuration of the stairs makes it difficult to gate them off, so please consider this if you are travelling with very small children.

The kitchen is fully equipped to make cooking a breeze (including stove, induction cooktop, large refrigerator, microwave, blender, toaster and kettle), with plenty of indoor and outdoor plates, glasses and cutlery to cater for any size group.

The lounge room includes large plush lounges and a smart TV, alongside a bright and comfortable sitting area to unwind at the end of the day.

The house also includes a washer and dryer, plus a clothes horse, iron and ironing board.

A split system provides heating and cooling in the main lounge area. Fans are provided in each bedroom for use in summer, and several space heaters are available for use in winter. We also supply several throw rugs, as winter nights can be very chilly on Phillip Island! There is also a wood burning fireplace for supplemental heating and ambience. (We do our best to ensure some wood and kindling is available for your stay, but we cannot keep it stocked well enough to be used as a main heat source).

We are always available to help with any questions you may have when planning your trip and we can be easily reached during your stay to provide assistance, if needed.

Bed linen and towels are included in the base rate, which covers the first four guests. Additional guests incur an extra nightly fee to cover additional linen costs.

The cleaning costs include a full clean of the house following your stay, but we do ask guests to complete a few basic tasks - please refer to the house rules.

Great location in walking distance to the beach. The beds were comfortable with clean linen.Well-equiped kitchen and supplies (ie toilet paper etc). The soft furnishings and cushions were not clean and there was animal hair and dust under couches and the house was generally dusty.

The good: Week-long stay in a lovely home. Great location with beautiful beach nearby. Beds & linen very clean & comfortable. Kitchen well appointed. The not-so-good: Property was not clean. House needs a deep clean inside, some maintenance outside & a good prune in the garden - this could be a great property with a little effort. It rained a fair bit during our stay & we had problems with ants in the kitchen - must be a known issue as there was ant-rid in the pantry.

My second stay here and it was even better than the first! I don’t think I can recommend this house any higher. Vanessa is the most attentive and responsive host and the house is so unbelievably comfortable and homely. It’s like a warm cozy cuddle when it’s cold and a breezy tropical beach house when it’s hot. It’s unbelievably clean, bright and incredibly well stocked and appointed with amenities. My wife and kids adore it and for some reason, it just feels like home. Walking distance to the beach, cafe, surf shop and lookout point. Absolute 10/10 exterior. We’ll be back!!

A bridal party dream

This was the best location for my bridal party the night before my wedding! there was plenty of room, a cosy and calming atmosphere, greenery and huge beautiful windows. Then my new husband and I enjoyed the place to ourselves, lapping up gorgeous main bedroom and the spa after a long day!
