Pet friendly, walk to beach, cafe, parks, Netflix provided

Sunset Retreat offers a comfortable, peaceful getaway within easy walking distance (250 metres) to the beach. The property has a large lockable yard and welcomes well behaved pets.

For year round comfort, the house has a split system unit for heating and cooling, a gas heater as well as column oil heaters and fans for the bedrooms. There are board games, PlayStation 2 with games, Netlix, WIFI, cricket bats, soccer balls and various other toys to entertain all age groups.

The full well equipped kitchen includes extras such as a sandwich press, wok and electric blender. The sheltered outdoor deck next to the kitchen has a full size gas BBQ.

The large backyard is ideal for pets or kids to play cricket, basketball, games or to just relax in . It is fully fenced and can be securely locked. There is a very large shade sail with a second outdoor table setting.

When staying at Sunset Retreat, enjoy early morning or evening walks along the beach, accessible from the beach entrance at the end of the street. No need to hop in the car to visit the beach, just turn right out of the front gate and walk to the end of the street to the beach entrance. Dawn Cafe and the Ocean Grove Hotel are conveniently located within a few minutes walk, while the main shopping strip and patrolled beach are a short drive away.

Sunset Retreat can comfortably sleep up to 6 people in its 3 bedrooms. The main bedroom has a queen bed, the second bedroom has a double bed and the third bedroom has a single bed, a set of bunks and a TV and a Playstation console. All beds are fitted with electric blankets. If a toddler will be staying, please let us know so that we can provide a high chair and porta cot.

Ocean Grove Ocean Stay
We enjoyed our stay in this wonderful property just minutes walk from the beach in Ocean Grove. Everything was clean and tidy inside and out and the kitchen was fully equipped to allow you to eat in if you want. Bedrooms were spacious and it’s a quiet neighbourhood that’s easy to get to. Highly recommended.

Comfortable family home
This property was just what we were looking for. It was well appointed - everything you possibly need in the kitchen - and comfortable for our party of four adults and a dog. The yard is roomy and would be great for kids or summer entertaining. Hosts were great to deal with. Highly recommended.
