Sand Castle—Beach Bliss, Expansive Alfresco Living

Find  Dunsborough Beach just beyond your doorstep, perfect for spontaneous swims or simply sinking your toes into the sand whenever the mood strikes. Inside, sunlight pours through the windows, highlighting the warmth of solid wooden floors and inviting living spaces designed for comfort and connection. Downstairs, a cosy lounge offers a perfect retreat for kids, while upstairs, the spacious main living area exudes comfort with plush seating, a crackling combustion fireplace, and bi-fold doors that seamlessly open to the spectacular outdoor deck. Step out to this expansive haven where you can savour sunsets on the lounge, gather around the large dining table, and fire up the gas BBQ, all surrounded by treetop views.

Plan your days in the open-plan dining area adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with ample prep space for effortless entertaining, while a kitchenette upstairs adds convenience, complete with a second dining table, bar fridge and washing-up facilities. There are three reverse-cycle air conditioners, one in each living area and in the primary bedroom. For those who need to catch up on work, the dedicated office upstairs offers a comfortable desk.

When it’s time to rest, the primary bedroom upstairs offers a peaceful escape with a plush king bed, ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, a walk-in robe, and direct access to the balcony—ideal for morning coffee with a view. Downstairs, two bedrooms are perfect for groups and kids: one with a double bed and a bunk bed and another with a single and bunk bed. The spacious main bathroom features a walk-in shower and shared access with the second bedroom.

For families and pet lovers, the fully enclosed backyard provides a safe play area. With a washing machine and dryer and undercover parking for two cars, every detail has been considered for a hassle-free stay.

A small starter pack of firewood is provided during the winter months. If you require firewood at other times of the year, it can be purchased at local service stations and hardware stores.

Beautiful house, great family location
The deck is the hero of this house - fantastic for all-weather lounging looking out at the treetops. House is thoughtfully & generously appointed, upstairs and down. Beach over the road is wonderful for little kids (though being a dog exercise beach, it might not suit some). We loved the walk/bike path through the peppy trees too. Only reservations are (a) that most of the sleeping berths are bunk beds - there's only one genuine dbl/queen bed and (b) house is on a bend and cars tend to whiz at speed along the road in front - so take care!

Family together in a fabulous home.
We loved Sand Castles. Only one thing missing. A large dishwasher in main kitchen. A lot of water wasted washing up. The living area upstairs with fabulous huge balcony was perfect. We had our dogs & my two granddaughters enjoying the size of the home & activities provided.

Winter break
Great pet friendly property, Amazing upstairs and downstairs living area and we especially loved the wood fire on these cold winter nights. Very disappointed with having to pay for linen given how expensive it was to for a short 4 night break!

Best. Beach House. Ever!!
This is our 4th stay at Sand Castle & we absolutely love it! It's only a short walk through the trees to the beach & there is so much room both inside & out. There's a very well equipped kitchen & the best upstairs bbq and decked area upstairs to sit back & relax after a day fishing or just enjoying the stunning Geographe Bay. Can highly recommend & we will be back next year! :) :)

Great position beautiful presentation only down fall was no pay tv which would have been preferable Also better lounges on top floor as there is not enough seating ie more modern Also just as a personal preference too many mismatch dishes cutlery and glasses especially considering it’s marketed as a luxury exclusive property Otherwise magical location across the beautiful beach

Great location and property
The property is located across the road from the beach and a walk into Dunsborough town. The house was very clean, represented as per the photos and everything was stocked and ready for a great holiday! The cleaning fee did appear excessive though considering the linen, towels, bathmats ect were not complimentary.

Nice stay
We had a lovely time. The layout was a little odd (kitchen downstairs) and there was no dishwasher or corkscrews/ bottle opener which for a holiday home, it would’ve been nice to have. Overall, a good stay.

A magical beachside escape!
If you are looking for a place to unwind and forget about it all Sandcastle at Quindalup is just what you need. This house has it all - 3 spacious bedrooms and equal number of bathrooms , a kitchen with a great range of utensils and gadgets not to mention a wonderful upstairs area with additional kitchenette, beautiful fireplace and a deck that goes on for miles.This is a truly a home away from home with board games, dvds , books and some really interesting decorative pieces. Best of all is the spectacular location. Directly opposite the calm waters and golden sands of Quindalup beach - a perfect place for those with young kids or people wanting to catch some yummy whiting for dinner. This is really a place to escape it all. Do yourself a favor and get away at Sandcastle today.

comfortable house in great location
This property is in a great location on the waterfront and a short drive to Dunsborough town. The house has everything you need including a good selection of DVD's to watch. I would describe the furniture as comfortable rather than luxury...which is actually what I prefer when on holidays. A bit of maintenance would improve, particularly the rear fence starting to be pushed over by the tree roots. The gaps in the fence looked concerning at first with the risk of our dogs escaping, but it is an illusion. The fence is quite secure, apart from one damaged panel in the rear fence. On the whole would be happy to return.
