The house was very well located being across the road from a path along the ocean and only a 10 min walk to the patrolled beach and 15 min walk to the dog friendly beach. The house was perfect for pets with timber floors and enclosed front patio and back yard. There was some traffic noise from the road and a few small maintenance issues which didn’t detract from our weeks stay. I’d recommend the area and the house.

The whole house was spotless and a fantastic layout.You could do with a TV in the western bedroom.There are a couple of maint. jobs to be done but you know thatYour council doesn't like dogs on the " flatter" beaches which is disappointing.Thank you for replying to my messages so promptly, it was very much appreciated.Overall we loved staying there and the Salty Cod is a great place to buy dinner.If ever we find a reason ( or need ) to come back to that area, we will look at staying at your beach house.Have a great weekend.RegardsMartin and TanyaPS: your northern neighbour is from our area here and is very talkative

Very comfortable and clean. Neatly set out surfer themed cottage opposite the beach. Modern bathroom. Dog friendly, which our little pooch enjoyed with no signs of the smells of previous pets. Very quiet at night with the main bedroom at the rear of the home. Having WiFi available was appreciated. Short walk down to the beach, cafe and restaurant.

Shelley Beach House old boys weekend.

We stay here a couple of times a year to catch up with old mates, have a surf and generally chill out. It really suits our needs. Close to beach, cafes, club and has a laid back beach house vibe with everything you need for a few days away. We enjoy it.

Mini family break

The property was well situated and great for the family of 5. There were a few hurdles gaining access and confusion about our booking which caused a delay in checking in. This was however rectified relatively quickly by the property manager. The house is well appointed and comfortable. A bit of TLC and the place could be a cracker. This has already been covered in other reviews regarding lights, doors and cleanliness. However, would stay again as these were only minor inconveniences, the positives well outweighed the hurdles.

Chance for swims and a nice meal at the Entrance before they headed home. Family tagged in the next day with the grand dog.

Great location property needs fixing

Perfect location, updated bathroom and kitchen, however property needs repairs screen doors don't lock/close so felt unsafe and no a/c and couldn't keep doors open at night, very hot and affected everyones sleep. The fans and lights in the bedrooms have a strange remote control so when one is turned on the lights or fans come on in other bedrooms - disrupted everyone's sleep. The couch is falling apart as is the outdoor furniture, which is unusable. The outside bin was missing its lid creating a haven for flies and other issues which seem easily repairable.

The perfect beach stay

So happy with our stay at Shelly Beach. The ease of being able to walk out the door with your beach bag and be on the sand in mere minutes is so relaxing. Shelly Beach is so beautiful,tranquil and has the added safety of being a Surf Lifesaving patrolled beach. Shelly Beach House was neat and tidy and well equipped for a comfortable stay. Shops and takeaways are very close and convenient, and if you can't tear yourself away there are plenty of restaurants that deliver. The only negative was that we eventually had to leave hahaha. Thank you to our host for sharing this beautiful seaside house with us. We will definitely be back!
