About this property

La Casa del Mar beach house with Lorne bay views

Proudly managed by Relax Holiday Rentals.

The ultimate beach house - in THE perfect location - with some of the best views in Lorne!

LINEN NOT PROVIDED - HIRE AVAILABLE.

This idyllic setting amongst the trees and bird life is less than 200m from Lorne Beach, Erskine River, the Swing Bridge and café. This home is set in an elevated position with the most incredible views of Lorne bay and right across to the pier. Only a short walk to the main beach, shops, restaurants, day-spa & sea baths. It really is perfect for family holidays or weekend getaways with friends.

A spacious double story holiday house with a warm relaxed feel, it is modestly furnished and by no means immaculate but more affordable than many others in Lorne. It comfortably sleeps 10 guests with 4 bedrooms (Queen, Queen, 2 x singles, 2 x bunks), and 2 bathrooms. Fully equipped kitchen to cook up a feast (with dishwasher, coffee machine, & second fridge for drinks). Perfect for outdoor dining, the huge deck overlooks the bay and tree tops – with a gas BBQ, large dining table, and banana lounges for just relaxing!

Two separate living areas – upstairs capturing the spectacular coastline views through the huge panoramic glass windows, with fireplace (wood supplied), stereo, and LED TV. Downstairs lounge is the kids haven, with flat screen TV, board games, and books. Split system air cons on both levels and polished floorboards throughout.

The home comes complete with boogie boards, surf boards, and even a couple of wetsuits for you to use. Grab a board and catch some waves, cool off with a swim, go fishing on Lorne pier, kayak the waterways, or just enjoy seaside life. Then come home and experience an outdoor hot shower to freshen up!

Set amongst native gardens, with ample parking for 3 or 4 cars, including room for a boat under the carport.

Fantastic stay for a group of friends
Great location in Lorne. We equipped house with a nice view. Plenty of space for a big group. Really good to have a second space. Owner very quick to respond to any questions and allowed early check in which was helpful on a warm day with lots of food in the car! Overall would highly recommend this property.

Stunning views and excellent location
This house is fantastic! We loved the location - It was so quick to walk down to the beach or to the shops. We absolutely loved the view - it is stunning, and the large deck would be perfect for evening dinners on a warm night. The kitchen was great, very well equipped! The house itself was perfect for us with two living spaces - bedroom and ensuite upstairs and three bedrooms downstairs - byo all linen. The fireplace was incredibly cosy and it was great to have a generous amount of firewood provided. Although the house wasn't as clean as we'd hoped, Chris took on the feedback and said the cleanliness of the property is of top priority and they will ensure that is addressed. In summary, la Casa del Mar house is a perfect spot for a cosy winter weekend escape or a relaxing beach holiday! You'll love it!

Perfect location, great views, well equipment home for long and short stays
I found the home to be perfect for our family holiday. Very short walk to the beach for a morning our daily swims which we capped of with a coffee at the numerous caffès a short distance away. The upstairs living areas provide good privacy and outstanding views of the ocean and surrounding native gardens and vegetation. Indoor living spaces and outdoor decking are suitably sizeable for our large family gatherings and entertainment. Bedrooms are large, beds were very comfortable with plenty of storage for hanging clothes and storing bags. Native birds would often visit to the decking area which was a lovely surprise. The property advertising understates the good sized well appointed kitchen and the beautiful ocean views and natural garden landscape. Other than that, the advertising for this property was accurate, and lived up to our expectations. I found that property owner very helpful and responsive. We could not have asked for a better property. Outstanding.

Great family space, excellent location, not a luxury stay
A family group of 7 adults, we had a really enjoyable week long stay over Christmas at La Casa, though the layout of the property is really better suited for families with children (which we understood and accepted when making the booking). We were initially a bit underwhelmed by the property, which is somewhat careworn and we found some disappointing bits of cleanliness - plus we had not realised it lacks WiFi. However once we had done a bit of wiping (using the copious supplies of materials) and relaxed into the place we settled in for a great week. La Casa is really well equipped for a large party and we wanted for nothing (well, except leashes for the surf boards - we bought 2 and left them behind). If we had been a group with children the slightly scruffy nature of the place would doubtless have made for a more relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable, air conditioning effective, TV and sound system good. On top of this, the location is really excellent. Literally a few minutes from the beach, over the historic swing bridge, everywhere in Lorne is walkable, including the store being only 5 minutes away. This was a massive benefit as the crowds rolled in over the week, traffic queued and parking became a lottery. So in summary, yes La Casa del Mar is not a flawless seaside hideaway but it was a great home for a truly excellent week's holiday. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Perfect location
We had a great short break in Lorne and the house was a perfect fit for 7 people. Everyone was comfortable and the house was very clean. The views from the upstairs kitchen/living area are magnificent. Really well equipped kitchen. The house is in a very quiet location and all you could hear at night was the sea. Just a short walk to the supermarket/beach and main shopping/eating precinct. It was very cool weather when we stayed and there were good heating options in the house. The wood heater upstairs was fantastic. Highly recommended.
