Description from owner

Description

Centrally located between Rye front and back beach, this fantastic bright 10-year-old house suits one large family or two families of four.

Sorry, strictly no schoolies or groups under 21.

With two light-filled living areas, two bathrooms and two decks, this house accommodates eight comfortably. Air conditioned in summer and centrally heated in winter.

The open plan kitchen/living/dining area is surrounded by glass - you feel as though you're in a tree-house with only tree tops visible in every direction. It opens onto the back deck with barbecue and outdoor setting, and out onto a private rear yard.

The front lounge opens onto a front deck with comfortable lounge furniture that also overlooks trees.

A modern, well-equipped kitchen with espresso machine, you'll never want to leave.

All three bedrooms have comfortable beds, with a king in the main bedroom (and ensuite bathroom).

In a separate wing is the second main bedroom with queen bed and third bedroom with bunks to sleep four. A separate bathroom and modern laundry complements everything this house has to offer.

The kitchen easily handles eight people, with plenty of crockery, glassware and cooking utensils (the owner was a chef in a past life and enjoys good cookware). There is a microwave, dishwasher, espresso machine and great oven and cooktop.

The laundry has a washing machine and dryer.

There are also little extras like a hairdryer, and linen if you need it. We generally ask that people bring their own, but we can provide linen if needed.

There is also a multitude of games and puzzles to fill a rainy day.

We can accommodate your pets, but by arrangement only.

We can provide linen, but ask that you bring your own beach towels.

It is a non-smoking house.

Three night minimum mid-week during low season.

Sorry, no schoolies.

Bond applies.
