About this property

Absolute Beachfront Retreat on The Esplanade

Summary:
Situated on The Esplanade with direct Whites Beach access, this two-storey abode offers an idyllic escape in a prime beachfront location. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the ocean, with views of the coastal reserve and sea glimpses perfectly framed by the home’s elegant design. 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms will cater for the family, and open plan living, kitchen and dining flows to the sundeck. A private terrace in the secure gated backyard caters to outdoor dining and sun lounging.

The Space:
The absolute beachfront position provides direct access to local favourite, Whites Beach, eliminating the need to drive to the beach! Ocean views through ‘Whites Cutting’ and a foreground of lush coastal vegetation and wetlands add further appeal to this elevated home, with balconies to enjoy the sea breeze and oceanside experience.

Your family’s beach adventure begins on the ground level, where the bunk room with study nook and a Queen bedroom awaits, alongside a convenient combined bathroom and laundry space. This opens up to a lush, expansive rear yard with well-manicured gardens that offer a safe and private play area for children and a tranquil retreat for adults. A well-behaved pet is welcome by approval at the time of booking, subject to House Rules and a $50 pet fee.

Ascend to the top level where the home’s design centres around the open plan kitchen, dining, and living area with a Smart TV*, leading out to a spacious deck. This is your front-row seat to ocean views through the dunes, a spot where families can gather to share meals, or simply relax to the soothing rhythm of the waves. The master suite also occupies this level, providing a peaceful sanctuary with its own bathroom and north-facing balcony.

Embracing the laid-back spirit of Torquay, this property is a stone's throw from the soft sands of Whites Beach, promising endless days of sun, surf, and sandcastles. The proximity to the vibrant Sands Golf course adds an extra dimension of leisure activities for the whole family.

Here, in the heart of Torquay’s beach community, your family holiday awaits, with the ocean at your doorstep.

The Neighborhood:
Situated in the popular Sands Estate, Torquay, the proximity to The Sands Golf Club, restaurant and bar, make this property an incredible location for keen golfers who can wheel their golf bags to tee off at Peppers! Families will love the convenience of easy access to stunning White’s Beach and Fisherman’s Beach.

It is located in a safe and friendly neighbourhood, ideal for both the adventurous and those who want to kick back and relax. All within the immediate area: surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, SUPing (Stand Up Paddle), diving, bike riding, running paths, skateboarding and golf or sitting back and if relaxing is more your thing then chose from many of the beautiful surrounding beaches, parklands, cafes, bars, restaurants, spas, shops or designer boutiques to spend your time.

There are great cafes, bars, the Torquay Hotel and many restaurants in town, plus boutiques, clothing, shoes, swimwear, books, homewares and much more.
