Situated on Diamond Road, the beach is within 100m, less than a 2 minute walk, putting all that Pearl Beach offers right on your door step.
Our two-level holiday house is perfect for two families or a holiday with the Grandparents.
We have created a home with open plan living, separate rumpus room, sweeping decks, glorious garden and heated pool.
The house sleeps 10 and features three bedrooms, and three bathrooms. Linen is included however please bring your beach towels.
As you arrive you’ll see the beautiful frangipani tree nestled by the private outdoor beach shower with hot water. The timber deck leads you to the front door entry with key box allowing you to arrive at a time that suits. Lighting provides security when you’re arriving after dark.
Upstairs you will find the open plan kitchen, dining and living space. The fully equipped kitchen is fitted with Bosch appliances and is connected to the Tucker BBQ built in on the deck overlooking the garden and pool. The rear deck is a lovely spot to enjoy a family meal after a day in the sun. There are glimpses of ocean among the tall trees that border our garden.
Our dining zone features a freestanding Escea gas fire by the large dining table perfect for meals and board games.
You’ll be able to relax in front of the large screen TV with apple TV or enjoy the sea breeze on the lounge on the deck. Or if you need some alone time, switch to the private front deck only accessible via the main bedrooms.
Our accommodation includes main bedroom with large ensuite and access to the front deck. This room has a ceiling fan.
There is a second main bedroom also on the first floor with robes, ceiling fan and access to the front deck. The second bathroom with bath and separate toilet is situated by this bedroom.
Downstairs we have created kid heaven with three sets of built in bunk beds each with a reading light and usb connection nearby for device charging.
There is a large bathroom and laundry facility downstairs with camp sink and shower room and separate toilet so guests can share the space.
On the downstairs rear patio there is another two dining settings that can be easily moved around the garden. There are two sun lounges and pod chairs for relaxing by the pool.
Garden and pool lights at night create a wonderful holiday atmosphere but please remember Pearl Beach is a residential area and our neighbours prefer music to be enjoyed at a reasonable volume and turned off outside by 10.30pm.
After dark or when it is raining there is a pool table and Wii U to keep everyone busy. Wii console includes 4 controllers, Mario Karts, Sonic & Mario at the Olympics, Wii Fit and other games.
We also have a fun game that is played in the garden called Cornhole.
When you return from the beach, wash off in the hot shower and unload in the sand room before settling on the sun-lounge by the heated pool. Watch the kids bounce on the trampoline or play badminton on the level and fully fenced child friendly garden.
The swimming pool has a swim jet installed allowing for gentle exercise. Or use our outdoor exercise equipment. We have installed chin up bars, step up bench and incline bench for a cross fit workout.
The house is perfect for one or two families. We have young kids and have kitted it out with them in mind including toys, tennis rackets and other sporting equipment, games, books and DVD's.

About Pearl Beach
Pearl Beach is a tiny National Trust village where life with all its charm and friendliness has been preserved. Surrounded by Brisbane Water National Park, the lush green canopy sweeps down to the ocean and the golden curve of one of New South Wales' prettiest beaches. Less than 300 homes and development restrictions that prevent apartments and further commercial development, Pearl Beach has remained and will remain slow paced and uniquely relaxed. From the moment you start your decent down the windy road into Pearl Beach you will feel your stress levels drop. The exceptional combination of beach and nature is unique, particularly so close to Sydney.
For the energetic a walk up to the waterfall or through the National Park to Patonga is both beautiful and great exercise. There are also a large number of other walks in the Brisbane Waters National Park and the Bouddi National Park within 15 minutes by car. For those who want a more relaxed holiday, a stroll through the Arboretum, along the beach or past the rock-pool and around the headland for views over to Palm Beach might be more attractive. There is also a salt water pool, a bowling green and public tennis courts. The beach caters for those that want flat water or waves.
Just because you are out of Sydney doesn't mean you will need to sacrifice any of your creature comforts the Pearl Beach cafe with WiFi does excellent coffee and eat-in or take away food.
There is even the famous Pearls on The Beach which a fully licensed restaurant that sits on the edge of the sand with amazing views.
The Patonga Hotel is not far way and can be reached by a bushwalk or

A wonderful extended break relaxing
Had an excellent, excellent time, in spite of a home renovation next door (hopefully finished soon) and the cafe/corner store around the corner being closed. The property itself though is close to perfect. A small (safe) pool, enough backyard to let the pet wander around. You're up high to get the breeze and the sound of the waves on the beach, but the whole place is unbelievably private and (ex construction noise), really, really quiet. It was just wife and I but you can see how it works for family (the kids can be downstairs while adults are upstairs). I also liked that there was always a different eating option (upstairs and downstairs verandahs, inside and out) and an excellent plumbed in gas BBQ. All in all, the best place we've stayed in Pearl Beach by a long way!

A Weekend Family Getaway & Proposal!
We stayed here on a weekend in Winter but Pearl Beach and this property provided everything & more we needed for our family to enjoy it. From the trampoline and properly HEATED pool outside to the pool table and double lounge room / rumpus, it was perfect for 10 of us, half being kids. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice beach getaway, owners were amazing and extremely responsive in the lead up to the stay. Minor BBQ cleanliness issue but was solved within 30 mins with a cleaner organised instantly. Very good! 😁

Amazing Place to Stay in Pearl Beach
We stayed here with a group of friends and had an incredible time. The house is beautifully fitted out with everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The location is incredible - go for a swim at the beach then go for a swim in the pool! The house is full of games and activities to keep everyone entertained. Communication with the owner was also excellent, and she answered all of my questions prior to our stay. Couldn't recommend this property enough.

In the middle of winter and with a raging swell, we were entertained away from the beach with all the house has to offer. Heated swimming pool with swim jets tops the list!

Stress-free family getaway
Shelly’s Family Beach House was a great location for our recent long weekend family getaway. Recently renovated, the clean and very well equipped property had everything we needed to keep three generations of our group comfortable and entertained. With multiple sitting, lounging and dining areas, pool, games, pool table and only a very short stroll to the beach it was a perfect holiday house for our stay. We will definitely visit again.

Great accomodation
The house was lovely and the facilities fantastic. The kids (ages 3-9) enjoyed the space and always had something to do for the weekend. We all really enjoyed the quality of the accomodation and the closeness to the beach and cafe. Great space- look forward to returning for another weekend!

Wonderful Home
Our families had a wonderful stay at Shelly’s Place. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and it really felt like a special place to spend our holiday. The house was extremely well resourced with lots of toys and equipment for the whole family to use. We loved playing pool and using the kitchen. It was hard work getting the kids out of the swimming pool so that we could go on bush walks and visit the great local beaches! We can’t wait to come and stay again. Thank you for answering all of our questions and making the holiday so memorable.

Perfect house to enjoy the local beaches and walks
We loved the house which was perfectly set up for adults and kids/teens to enjoy down time, alone or together. The kids loved the pool, and we all enjoyed playing pool, exploring nearby walks and beaches. It was a bonus to bing our 1yr old family pet with us, as he loved socialising on the dog-friendly beach! Highly recommended stay for family or friends groups with kids.

Fantastic for families!
We stayed here with our four year old son in October and the house was perfect for our family. A great location - very quick stroll to the beach and café. The house is spacious with two big verandas and a large fenced yard, so everyone could have some peace and space. The house is comfortably shabby – by this I mean if you have young kids you can relax as it has seen a bit of wear and tear over the years. The description doesn’t say, but there is also a dishwasher in the kitchen, which was a bonus for us. The owner was helpful and responsive on email and text before and during our stay. We will be keen to book again.
