Pearl Beach Semi - 2 min to sand & sea – Lilly
🌿 Relaxed coastal living at Pearl Beach
Welcome to Lilly, your tranquil escape just 90 minutes from Sydney and only a 2-minute stroll from the sand and sea. Nestled in the peaceful surrounds of magical Pearl Beach – a place locals and visitors alike describe as one of Australia’s hidden gems – this retro-style holiday home is the perfect spot for families, couples, or friends seeking a coastal retreat.
Here, time slows down. You’ll wake to the sound of waves, breathe in the scent of pristine bushland, and feel instantly connected to nature.
Spend your days swimming, tackling scenic bushwalks, or simply letting the kids make the most of the great outdoors. Evenings are best enjoyed on the back deck, listening to the birds and the distant surf – or gathered around the fire pit under the stars.
🏡 The space
• Bedrooms: o Master bedroom – Queen bed o Second bedroom – Queen bed o Third bedroom – 1x tiple bunk sets (sleeps 3 kids) • Living & dining: Open-plan lounge with TV, Netflix, cosy seating, and dining table for 6. • Kitchen: Retro-style but fully equipped with oven, cooktop, and microwave. • Bathroom: Original bathroom with shower, toilet, and vanity. • Comforts: WiFi, floorboards throughout, split-system aircon in living area. • Suitable for 6 guests (maximum of 4 adults) • Shared spaces: deck, backyard, BBQ, pétanque pitch, and shed. • For larger groups, rent the adjoining semi “Wattle” to enjoy both sides of the property while keeping your own privacy.
🌞 Outdoor living
The highlight of Lilly is the shared backyard and timber deck, perfect for relaxing, playing, and gathering together. Each side has its own outdoor setting, plus access to a shared BBQ.
What makes it special: • Beach shed stocked for fun: beach wagon, sandcastle buckets, beach cricket set, lawn games (Klop, Bocce), and kids’ bikes with helmets. • Pétanque pitch in the backyard – spark some friendly family rivalry and laughter. • Cosy fire pit – gather under the stars, toast marshmallows, and share stories late into the night. • Outdoor hot shower – a guest favourite! Rinse off after the beach under warm water with the salty breeze on your skin. • Pet-friendly: Small, well-behaved pets (under 10kg) welcome.
This is where family memories are made – from games in the yard and sandy toes rinsed in the hot shower, to nights by the fire and meals shared outdoors.
✨ Pearl Beach – a magical escape
Pearl Beach isn’t just a location – it’s an experience. Known for its tranquil atmosphere, lush bushland, and unspoiled coastline, it feels like a hidden sanctuary just 90 minutes from Sydney. • Southern end: Calm, family-friendly swimming waters. • Northern end: Widely loved as the best dog-friendly beach in the world – an off-leash paradise for pups and their owners. • Ocean rockpool: Perfect for morning laps or safe splashing. • Bushwalks & lookouts: Explore Brisbane Water National Park or hike the iconic Pearl Beach to Patonga track for breathtaking coastal views. • Atmosphere: Quiet, secluded, and deeply peaceful – a place that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Our stay was very good. It's a roomy place with the cutest kitchen. It had more than ample beds in roomy rooms. The washing machine is big and a must for vacationers. Secure for pets, the backyard is dreamy with beautiful lighting, neat and very tidy. It wasn't difficult to make this a home away from home. We would definitely book again and it was value for money! Our hosts were great.

Little gem
The property is a house split in half. There were people staying in the other side of the home but we did not hear them during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked and we found everything that we needed to cook our meals. Unfortunately it rained all weekend so we didn’t get to experience the fire pit outside which I was very much looking forward to. Will definitely return to this property.

Relaxing beach experience
Even though we had a bit of rain we found plenty to do and loved our stay at Pearl Beach. Highly recommend if you are going with another family to book both places side by side.
