Welcome to Shellies on the Beach, where vintage charm meets modern contemporary living. This 2-bedroom beach house offers an exclusive retreat with direct access to Sawtell Beach. The home has been fully renovated to provide a fresh, modern environment while preserving its 70s soul.

Please note that the loft bedroom is accessed via a strong sturdy fixed ladder. There is a trapdoor that can be closed when in the loft for safety.

Shellie's on the Beach
The most perfect place to stay. As an art teacher I personally loved the little touches of art, sculpture and collection of books. Our family had the most wonderful time and will certainly be back.

Short family vacation
Location of the property was fantastic - path to beach right outside our door and easy walk into Main Street for cafes restaurants and shops Family of 3 so the loft was perfect for our son but would not be suited to a second couple wanting privacy. Check in and check out was easy and communication with owners also easy We loved our stay here
