We had a fantastic stay at Sandy Corner, the property is beautiful and very modern. The bed is super comfy and the whole place is fitted out very tastefully. The television is great with Netflix available to watch too. It is situated right by the beach and is in an area which make exploring the central coast very easy. If we were to return to the area we would look to book here again. Thank you for a great stay

Perfect location
To be able to walk out the door and across the road to stroll along the beach and watch whales playing out at sea was magical. The staff and food at Waves Cafe were great, the friendliness of all shop owners on the main drag was a great change to the big city bustle. Son enjoyed choosing between ocean and lake fishing. Daughter loved perusing the antique store. Well appointed and beautifully decorated. Everything you need and thought of. The neighbours to the cottage welcoming. Helpful and friendly. The attention to detail was marvellous. Communication with owners quick and easy. Really loved it here, would love to come back.

Perfect location was a little disappointed that the place wasn’t as new as advertised. Definitely not just been done up. The blind was all ripped and the kitchen cupboards had tape holding them together. Overall great little place because of location.

A wonderful mini break!
2 female friends from Sydney escaping the hustle and bustle of family life for a beautiful sunny weekend of relaxation. Everything we needed was within walking distance and the lovely beach side location was just perfect. The local Sunday markets were a bonus - we were lucky they fell on the weekend we stayed. Would definitely book this house again. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Joscelyne

Host profile image
My wife Hannah and I are absolute beach lovers and hold a special place in our hearts for the central coast and Avoca Beach in particular. We have tried to create a special and relaxed space for others to enjoy a romantic weekend or week away from the busy city life.

We love the beach walks, the rock pools and the local restaurants and boutique shops that all ooze charm and that country beach style feel.

Why they chose this property

Avoca Beach is relaxed, the people are all friendly and the weather is usually just perfect. The location just one hour north of Sydney makes Avoca Beach easy to access and not a chore to get to and from. We love the local restaurants and the most amazing beach on the Central coast. There is children safe areas to swim, a patrolled beach as well as great waves for those that love to surf.

What makes this property unique

Sandy Corner has an unbeatable position. Our little slice of the central coast sits right on the corner of the lake where it meets the ocean. It is also only a 50 meter walk to the main cafe and shopping strip. Our guests love that you can drive to the cottage, park the car and not need to drive again until they leave to head home.
