About this property

Absolute Beachfront Holiday Home! The Sandpiper Beach house

It is rare to find a house (in Adelaide or anywhere in the world, really) where your front garden cascades directly to the sandy dunes and gently lapping sea. We love this location and want to give you, our guest, the opportunity to experience the magic of living this close to the ocean.

This is a lovely, relaxed beach house that pays full tribute to the sea and views. Open the front door and the salty sea air and warm sun instantly takes you away from what ever is happening in the rest of your daily life. It is truly exhilarating. Don't come here if you are looking for something super modern or gleamingly glamorous because we believe that when you come to the beach you should feel comfortable and in the zone for all things related to the surf and sun. We want you to be fully present to the elements and enjoy the space. We expect you to feel you can traipse inside with sandy feet and leave your beach towels where they lay, eat your fish and chips inside or out and kick back and enjoy being somewhere incredibly special.

Our home is fully self contained and takes in the best sea (and sunset) views from the comfort of the couch in the living room to sharing a meal under the shade of the expansive outdoor dining area. The view from the master bedroom is extraordinary, too. There is sleeping room for eight (up to 6 adults and 2 children) with a king sized bed, single bunk, single bed and a double bunk (double below, single above) in three separate bedrooms. Public transport is close by or there is off road car parking. Fully ducted air-conditioning/heating will make your stay here in the summer or winter months very comfortable. Two showers (one bath) and two toilets, laundry and dishwasher help to make your temporary beach house a place to relax and enjoy. We welcome you to experience a truly special piece of Adelaide's local beach oasis.

A beautiful spot with direct beach access. All the amenities, clean home and great hosts
We had a beautiful Christmas at this property. With grassy area to set up play or just lounge around connecting to direct beach access, not having to worry about a road between for my toddler. Watching the ocean from the lounge room, waking up to the ocean from the main bedroom was a beautiful experience. This house had everything we needed to live comfortably for a week with our family. Quiet spot with friendly neighbours.

Great beach location
Comfortable home in great location. Close to major shopping centre (Westfield). Kids loved being able to step onto the beach from the back door. We enjoyed walking straight onto the beach for a morning stroll. The main bedroom has a beautiful view of the beach, it was lovely to watch the sunset. Awesome communication with the owner Gen, she made everything very clear, so when we arrived it was easy.

Fabulous location right on the beach
We were super lucky to find this gem, right on the beach with everything we needed in place. Lots of room and toys/activities for the kids. Fully equipped kitchen and linen, was everything we could have wanted. The beach and access was straight out the front door, views were amazing and the hosts were fabulously easy to deal with. Would recommend to anyone!

Beautiful place to enjoy Adelaide and especially the wonderful beach and sea views!
We really enjoyed our mini break. Perfect place for little kids with all the beach toys and a gorgeous beach right at the front door. There is everything you could possibly need in the house and it was so nice and cosy looking out from the lounge room at the wonderful ocean view. Thanks so much Gen for providing us with a perfect base for our Adelaide holiday celebrating my mums birthday. Hope to be back soon!

Tranquil setting with a great vibe
We were really impressed with the vibe of the property... very chilled and relaxing. It felt like a home away from home- all the little touches like games and books for the kids and many added extras around the home that make all the difference to a family looking for a stress free break. Great communication from the host Gen who made everything easy and straightforward. We will definitely book again. One of the best we have stayed in out of the many properties we have booked through stayz.

Peace, Joy & Fun
I came to this rental to celebrate my 40th. I needed a place where a couple of friends and family could come and visit me each night to watch the sunset and enjoy a glass of wine. This location was simply magical and exceeded my every expectation. The view is spectacular whether it be rain or shine. The quiet peaceful beach only metres ahead. The level of detail the owners have gone to in making sure the house is fully equipped with everything you can think of (I’ve stayed in many places before and none have ever been this equipped- I didn’t even have to buy salt, pepper, oil or vinegar 😄). Thank you Gen and family for the stay, we will definitely be coming back!

Family time with four generations!
Perfect location, amazing views of the ocean through huge windows, in a relaxed and comfy home. We hired this home as a present for my Mum's 90th birthday. We were able to spend quality time together, with various family members (GreatGrandkids, Grandkids etc) dropping in for a visit at various times during the week. There were lots of board games, kids toys and even craft items to play with together. Mum felt safe with no steps to contend with, and a bar to hold on to in the shower. Wonderful memories were made.

Wonderful location!
We had a fantastic couple of weeks at this property. It has the most perfect setting directly by the beach where the children can play safely & you can watch the sun set every night. There was a good outdoor terrace area where we had bbq’s most nights. It was close to both Semaphore beach & Henley beach so always had an excellent choice of places to eat out. The owners were always very responsive to all messages & the house was like a home from home. Lots of children’s toys both inside & out. I would thoroughly recommend this house - I don’t think there are many with this location anywhere else in Adelaide!

About the host

Hosted by Gen Casucci

Host profile image
My dream has been to live by the sea and that is why I own this beautiful house. When my husband. my two children and I aren't staying here we want to share it with anyone else who has a desire to experience what it's like wake up to the sound of the waves.
I work in Adelaide as a consultant and have created flexibility in my working day so that I'm available to manage this house through Airbnb. We have beach toys and books, linen and kitchen utensils and many games to keep children and adults amused. As the saying goes..."Mi casa e' tu casa" (my house is your house)
Come and enjoy the best part of Adelaide at our favourite local beach.
Oh, and, of course, I love to travel, so if I'm not in Adelaide I'm somewhere else emersing in a different culture, enjoying it with my husband and children. Maybe I will be in your part of the world!
Hope to meet you soon.
Gen

What makes this property unique

Beachfront, beachfront, beachfront!! Wake up to the sound of the sea, play, walk or lay about on the sand during the day and in the evening sit back and watch the sun set each and every night directly in front of our interruptions, no road in the way and beautiful peace and quiet. It is heaven on earth.
