About this property

SUMMER LOVING AT CULBURRA 3 minute stroll to the beach, classic Oz beach house

If you're looking for the quintessential and classic Aussie beach house, then Summer Loving is for you! It comes with that great old idea of being able to leave your worries at the door.

NEW FEATURES: Fully renovated kitchen and now ensuite!

Summer Loving is set in an oasis of natural serenity with the surf and sand of one of the best beaches on the South Coast just a short stroll to the waters' edge with no roads to cross!

SPECIAL NOTE: The cleaning fee is included in the rate - so there are no hidden costs.

Summer Loving offers a fully equipped 'home away from home' with a twist of style! The cottage has been designed to catch the summer breeze's thru its numerous windows and opening french doors to promote that laid back beach holiday with ocean breezes and bird's singing in the tree's.

Inside funky colourful decor and furniture, coupled with soaring lounge room ceiling and open-plan layout give this cottage a welcoming beach house feel.

Set all on one flat level and back off the street you'll love Summer Lovings' fully secured yard with outdoor shower and plenty of room for the kiddies & family pets to run around and explore. Walk down the long driveway to the back garden and onto the new wrap around veranda with BBQ and outdoor setting. Step into the main living area which is an open plan living, dining & kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped, clean and functional. It has a Delonghi Espresso coffee machine & Bosch dishwasher. Dine inside or outside on the veranda.

Down the hallway of the cottage, you will find two of the three bedrooms. One bedroom is over sized with a double bed and two single beds. The other bedroom has a queen bed. Conveniently located between these two bedrooms is a large main bathroom with a bath and shower, next to this you will find a separate toilet.

The second living area and parents retreat is found at the opposite end of the cottage from where you can step outside through the beautiful double french doors onto the large timber covered front deck to enjoy the afternoon sea breeze and watch the world go by. The master room has a double bed with a lovely large ensuite. Parents will appreciate that the parents retreat at the front of the cottage with the main bedroom, ensuite and lounge room can be closed off for privacy and to ensure a peaceful and quiet sleep-in away from the main hub of the cottage.

Great access for your boat with plenty of off street parking and easy u-turn area.

Summer Loving has fresh paint and carpets and is very clean and tidy so we are confident you'll be happy with your stay, be it full of adventure or just relaxing with family & friends.

Bedding & Cleaning Costs

Cleaning costs are included in the nightly stay rate. No additional cleaning costs apply.

The three bedrooms within the cottage are light and airy and will accommodate up to 8 people comfortably in good quality beds with as-new quality linen.

We have also just completed our outhouse renovation. The outhouse has been a great success with the kids. It is also a games room with table tennis, darts, badminton, board games, skate, boogie & surf boards and even a few bikes!. A great place to relax after the sun goes down and challenge the family to some good old fashion fun.

Just bring your bath and beach towels.

A week of Summer Loving
With a December to forget and with a couple of walking wounded we settled straight into Summer Loving. It was clean, well appointed upon arrival with all the kitchen and bathroom essentials covered. It is well located for walks to the beach or quick trips to shops and the club for meals. The house had two TV's which helped with separating the grandies from the grown ups and the DVD library helped with lots of choices too. The yard was well maintained and plenty of room for a kick and some fun outside or a game of table tennis in the converted garage. All in all we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Loving Summer Loving!
Summer Loving was a wonderful place for our family to have a short get away! The location was awesome, just a short walk to the beach and close to local restaurants and the house had all the creature comforts you could think of and more. A particular hit with the youngest member of our family was the games room with heaps to keep him occupied when the wet weather hit. Thank you to the hosts for preparing such a lovely place for us to stay!

Culburra getaway weekend
A great house for our stay in Culburra. Easy walk to the beach and a great outdoor backyard and al fresco area. A very rainy weekend but we still enjoyed it. The house seems more spacious than in the photos and the second living area was a lovely space to relax. Would be lovely in the sunshine.

Relaxing beach stay
Great location to both the beach and local shops. And all the little extras that you might want have been thought of and provided for. We had a wonderful time enjoying walks on the beach, playing table tennis in the games room, and cooking in the fully equipped kitchen. Hearing the sounds of the waves crashing at night and waking up to the bird sounds in the morning made for such a peaceful and relaxing stay. And that it was pet friendly, was definitely an added bonus!

Relaxed Family Holiday
As two 80 year olds, my husband & I were looking for a house that would accommodate our family which included young adults & a small dog. Summer Loving was perfect with many areas to spread out comfortably. Dayna is obviously a very thoughtful person proud of her house. There were many touches that created a lovely atmosphere. It was Christmas week & we arrived to find a lovely little tree with sparkling lights that warmed our hearts. The casual area at the back of the house was great with comfortable seating, cushions and a lawn. Our young adults enjoyed the Games Room as we didn't have the best weather.The kitchen was equipped with everything a cook could possibly need.We had taken with us things that are usually lacking in in a rented property, sharp knives for example, to find Dayna had supplied them. She thought of everything. Thank you Dayna for a wonderful holiday.

Simply perfect
After multiple cancellations and being bumped last minute by another property, Summer Loving popped up. The pics don’t do it the full justice but the description is spot on. Our family including 2 dogs had the best time. Plenty of space inside and out. The games room was perfect with a wide range of things to do. Even tried fishing. 200m to a dog friendly beach, great town and surroundings. Would definitely return here as it was everything we needed for a perfect family holiday. Dayna was great and super responsive. No WiFi was a blessing as we all did far more together as a family.

Beautiful house & gardens
The house is fantastic and the photos don’t do it justice! It was also impeccably clean and fully equipped with everything you need right down to dishwasher and laundry liquids. The games room, and games console, were a huge plus and we enjoyed two nights playing table tennis, darts and board games. If you’re looking for a beautiful house with lush gardens, dog friendly local beaches and a games room to entertain the kids. Then this house is for you!

Good property, BUT Beware the cleaner
Property met all our needs, adults on the deck in the evening, kids in the playroom when it was too hot, and dogs in the fenced yard. Beach is a nice, very short stroll away. We even walked to the shops. Unfortunately we were hit with excessive cleaning fees as the cleaner complained about dog hair (which a regular vacuum picks up at home), BBQ etc. which were unreasonable. The owner was great and communicated throughout, but obviously had to pass on the costs.

Perfect escape
Dayna was a wonderful host and it was a pleasure staying in her beautiful home in Culburra. The property was very homely, we had 12 guests and fit in perfectly. It was also beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay with entertainment and a games room. The location was great, walking distance to the beach, neighbours were lovely and host was great to deal with. Absolutely awesome stay and would definitely recommend!!!
