3/4 acre Beach House, Walk to beach on boardwalk, Family groups & pets welcome

My name is Tim and it is my pleasure to offer you a stay at my families beachside holiday house - it is our family's oasis.

Bring the family as well as your friends to stay overnight at our charming, well appointed beach house. Set on 3/4 of an acre and abutting 65 acre Citation Reserve, you will relax as soon as you walk in and survey the views out over the reserve from the kitchen. The gorgeous balcony, shaded slightly by mottled leaves of the James Stirling and Silver Birch, has been the setting for many a summer's evening dinner party.

Walk to the beach down the Balcombe Creek estuary boardwalk.

A 20 minute stroll to Mt Martha shops and beach along the Balcombe Creek boardwalk is the best way to start anybody's day! If you need some exercise, or just some peace and solitude, the boardwalk is a wonderful place to walk and catchup with your thoughts, or just walk the dog away from the hustle and bustle!

You can listen to the birds on the deck at breakfast, or watch the kookaburra's on the balcony which wraps around the whole house.

Pets welcome, with prior permission.

The property has 3 Queen beds, all new or near new, 2 bunks for the kids, a spare single mattress for the kids friends, and a very large master bedroom. We have had many guests over 12+ years, and they have all commented on how peaceful our retreat is.

Feel free to ask me to visit to inspect prior to booking. (Minimum 3-night stay & 7 nights post-Christmas/January). Registration no is STRA0172/18.

Private Oasis
A cosy home surrounded by an amazing treed vista. Walking tracks literally at your finger tips for both family and furry friends to enjoy. A very spacious home for everyone to find a place to relax and chill out. The kitchen was very well equipped for any dish that we wanted to cook up. The kids loved the boogie boards provided. It certainly made our days at the beach full of fun, so a big thanks.

Everything you need for a relaxing break
Our intergenerational family group of 8 loved this large home with 4 bedrooms. Everything was clean and comfortable and the house was in a private, leafy setting within a few minutes drive of Mt Martha village. Our favourite activity was enjoying leisurely meals outside on the veranda, and exploring the area. Everything we needed for a relaxing break including board games and BBQs were included.

Returning home
My childhood was growing up in Mt Martha. So appreciated staying in this beautiful location to visit & care for elderly parents. We now live interstate & as all know has been difficult for families to connect. Thank you Tim for allowing us to stay in your fabulous property,especially with our dog, to reconnect with family & enjoy the beauty of Mt Martha again

Nice home
We had very little to no mobile coverage (Telstra), & having two cars was awkward on the steep driveway, but other than that it was a clean spacious home & we had a nice stay.

Very peaceful break
Stunning location, backing out onto a massive garden and the nature reserve beyond. Garden was perfect for the kids and either a family game of cricket or sitting on the veranda with a G&T watching them play - and a 5 minute drive down to the beach.

Relaxed bushland outlook
This home is located within pleasurable walking distance of the Mt Martha shops down a boardwalk adjacent to a creek. It is in a quiet location with a lovely bushland outlook. The home is well kitted out and clean. It is an older home so has a few creaky floorboards, but this in no way detracted from our enjoyment of it! It was great that our dogs could be with us there too. Everything worked well and our host was very easy to contact. Would happily stay here again.

A lovely private getaway to nature.
Tim as a property host was exceptional. His communication was excellent and was warm and welcoming and most helpful. The property itself was homely and attractive, with many thoughtful touches included, such as board games and an extensive dvd collection. Set in a beautiful and private location, we loved being able to experience the tranquility of nature all around us and the boardwalk behind the house was amazing, as was the master balcony. We were able to bring along our two dogs, who adored the spacious backyard and the location was the perfect setting for exploring the peninsula. Thanks Tim and family! 😊

Overdue family getaway
Large, clean, spacious house and property. It met all our expectations for six adults and a dog. Plenty of room to spread out inside and out, the dog enjoyed running in the fenced yard while we sat on the deck. Communication with the owner was always answered promptly, and check in was easy. The location is quiet and we enjoyed our family weekend. Would definitely recommend the property

Christmas stay at Mt. Martha
During the year if Covid with on again , off again holidays it was great to finally get away. Great communication with the owner helped remove anxiety about the hire of the house. It was in a fantastic position where we could walk along the boardwalk every morning to the beach for coffee. Xmas was fabulous and even our ‘care’ dog loved it.

Great location
Great house in great location. Lovely views from balconies. Big yard for dogs and walking tracks just at the back of the house. Everywhere we wanted to go was within 15 minutes of Mt. Martha. The only drawback for us was that the dogs could go up the steps and on to the open verandah that lead out to the drive. Fortunately we found an old gate in the backyard that we rigged up at the bottom of the steps.
