About this property

Driftwood - Beachfront location, pet friendly, families

Driftwood Beachfront is arguably the best location on the bay. Situated in the sleepy beachside village of Vincentia, with a rare northerly aspect that takes full advantage of the morning sun, Driftwood is a real gem of the bay. This house is in the perfect location for all weather conditions, being tucked in behind the majestic gums that provide protection from the prevailing North East winds. The majority of beach front houses in Vincentia are open to the full brunt of the NE winds.
The pristine aqua-blue waters await your morning swims with the dolphins and turtles, closely followed by a relaxing stroll along the white sands of the Jervis Bay beaches. This incredibly convenient location is no more than a five minute walk to Vincentia cafes and Coles Supermarket. The bicycle path is at the front door which provides a safe cycling experience for the family away from the dangers of holiday traffic. To the left it will lead you to Huskisson (10 mins) and Woolamia (20 mins) and to the right around to Plantation Point (5 mins) and beyond. By car Huskisson is a stone's throw...5min drive.
Directly across the road is a park fitted with play equipment for the kids and plenty of shade to lay down and relax.
We pride ourselves on the fact that Driftwood Beachfront is an immaculately tidy house with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and ready for anything you can throw at it. It contains an oven with grill, large fridge, microwave and dishwasher.
The lounge room includes two large sofas, each with a chaise, and a large LCD TV. The main living area has reverse cycle air conditioning.
There is a laundry that contains a washing machine and dryer as well as a toilet andshower. Bathroom 1 upstairs contains a shower, toilet and vanity while bathroom two is an ensuite that also contains a shower, toilet and vanity.
Four Bedrooms
Bedroom 1 is the Master bedroom with ensuite. It is located upstairs and boasts breath- taking views out of the mirror tinted glass sliding doors. It has a super comfy Queen bed with two bedside tables and lamps along with a large built-in wardrobe. The glass sliding doors open up onto a large balcony overlooking the Bay.
Bedroom 2 is also located upstairs and has a super comfy Queen bed with two bedside tables and lamps. This room also has a large built-in wardrobe. Like Bedroom 1, the mirror tinted glass sliding doors open up onto the balcony providing sweeping views of Jervis Bay.
Bedroom 3 is a smaller bedroom also located upstairs. It has a Queen bed with two bedside tables and lamps and a small built-in wardrobe.
Bedroom 4 is the kids domain. It contains two double bunks and a daybed. There is a TV to keep the kids entertained and out of your hair when you need a break.

Good and Relaxing getaway
the area was amazing, beachfront view. It was good as it was pet friendly as well. There were 2 small down falls which were in dryer but stated it had one, but it was ok as we didn't need to use it. The upstairs shower head never stay ups. so, we use the downstair shower. but overall, it was a great place to stay. we will still go back and stay there for our next visit. Hoping next month or so..Feb or early March 2024...

Waterlogged but lovely view to enjoy
Comfortable for all but lacking a few things. Their had been extreme wet weather so we weren’t able to make the most of outdoors. Gas bottles were all empty when we went to shower but Jerry came out in the rain to change them. Beautiful area

Property reviews combined with the property description very accurate. Great location. Accessible, out of the wind, private, lovely neighbour, back yard area perfect for backyard cricket and lounging and overall very spacious. The building is a little run down but nicely furnished and clean. Would definitely recommend and we would definitely return.

great location
this property is A plus for location. backing onto the walking path along the beaches and bay of Vincentian literally at your back door. The property itself is a little dated but comfortable nonetheless. Also clean and lots of space for rubbish. Kitchen and appliances were dated but worked fine. The pictures are slightly “brighter”. The only real improvement would be the back area could use a cover for both rain and sun. Overall really nice stay and would come back.

Superb location
The house is north facing so the front facing the beach gets sun all day. We had the most beautiful Autumn weather over the Anzac Day weekend. There is an air conditioner in the dining area which we didnt need. This house is not fancy but is perfectly fine for a few days stay. We had 6 adults and a toddler. The front lawn and sturdy fence were wonderful for the toddler. Located on the walking/bike track, it is literally a few steps to the beach. Very calm water, lots of sand and rock pools to explore. The house was fine - comfortable queen beds in 3 bedrooms upstairs, an ensuite and another bathroom. An extra toilet and shower downstairs in laundry. Kitchen could do with a refresh but quite serviceable. Plenty of comfy furniture inside and out. Huge tv where we used our own foxtel and netflix accounts. We loved our few days in this beautiful part of the world.

Fantastic family holiday house
This house was great for our extended family and pack of rowdy kids. Everything was extremely functional but not too fancy that we were worried about things getting wrecked. We liked that there wasn’t decorative bric-a-brac all over but there were lots of games and a fusball table. Lots of TVs. The kitchen had good pots, pans and implements for cooking real family meals. The fenced yard was a nice bonus. The separate many-bedded kids’ room was great. The upstairs rooms were lovely too, as were the gorgeous views. Lots of bathrooms which is great for large groups. The dryer was a nice bonus since it rained a fair bit while we’re were there. A really, solid functional holiday home. Could do with a bit of a clean with a few grubby doors and spider webs in the corners, and quite a few light bulbs were burnt out. But we can’t rave enough about the location. Quick walk to the shops and beachfront but quiet and peaceful. Loved the walkway along the front. Close to beautiful beaches including dog-friendly Nelson’s Beach. Would absolutely stay again.

Stunning location, amazing views, great house
You’re definitely paying for the stunning views and beach access. The beach is literally a 30 second walk from the backyard. The house is very roomy, functional and well laid out. The pictures actually dont reflext that some improvements have been made to the property eg to the living area and great outdoor furniture. We had 9 people plus a dog and it was a perfect holiday home for our week long summer vacation. We’re planning to come back again next year!
