The house features a spacious and modern interior with a coastal theme, complete with fully-equipped kitchen, cozy living room with smart TV, Wifi, air conditioning and three comfortable bedrooms, all with double beds that can accommodate up to six guests. The sofa bed located in the living room does allow for another guest if your group has more than six. Two bathrooms and an inviting front verandah to read, relax and breathe in the fresh ocean air awaits you.
Every inch of the holiday house has been carefully designed to create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere for you to enjoy. Outside, a lovely outdoor deck area, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, evening drink or BBQ.
Located between two of Ports most famous beaches you will be a 10 minute walk to Town Beach and Salty Crew café or equally close to Flynns Beach which offers surf lessons and a coastal café overlooking the water. Both beaches are patrolled all year by Australian Lifeguard Service and are excellent swimming options. At the end of the street is easy access to the coastal walk.
Spend your days soaking up the sun on the sand or exploring the nearby shops, cafes, monthly markets, restaurants or enjoy a wine in one of Ports wine bars, the choice is yours. Add fishing, a picnic in the park opposite the beach or 4wd along the white sands of nearby Lighthouse Beach there is so much to choose from (note: a NSW National Parks Permit is required to drive on the beach).

Extremely disappointing stay – poorly maintained and not as advertisedWe were really looking forward to our stay, but the experience fell far short of what was promised.The ceiling fan in the main bedroom didn’t work, and the pedestal fan provided was extremely dirty, rusty, and unusable. The oven fan was also very noisy and not functional. Several powerpoints and lights throughout the property didn’t work, which made using the home genuinely inconvenient.The overall presentation of the property was very poor. It was not properly cleaned and had spiderwebs throughout. The beds were small and uncomfortable, and one bed squeaked so loudly that even the slightest movement made it difficult to sleep.The environment around the property was also an issue. The neighbouring properties are very noisy, creating a loud and disruptive stay. There were limited flyscreens, meaning we couldn’t ventilate the house without letting insects in.The listing was also advertised as pet friendly, but the reality was the opposite. Not only did neighbours frequently complain about even minor dog noise, but we later discovered a rule buried in the terms and conditions stating pets cannot be left unattended at the property for more than 30 minutes. This was not clearly disclosed on the listing and makes the property highly impractical for anyone travelling with pets.Overall, the property felt poorly maintained, misrepresented, and not suitable for a relaxing holiday.

The house was spotless and the pet yard was fully enclosed and no way of getting out. The kitchen had everything needed as well as Tea and coffee and a coffee machine and milk. The location was great and very quite. Was close to everything, could walk to the shops, beach and a number of walking trails. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The bathroom floor was very slippery when wet, need a bathmat that sticks to the floor so it doesn't slide. Would stay again.
