2BR Pet-Friendly Beach Cottage – Fenced Yard, BBQ, Outdoor Shower | Ideal for Extended Stays

Pet-friendly, two-bedroom beach cottage in the heart of Middleton, walking distance to the surf, tavern, cafes, and parks. A fully fenced backyard, gas BBQ, outdoor hot and cold shower, and Balinese-style garden nook make it a relaxed base for families and dog owners alike. Reverse-cycle air conditioning, a combustion fire, full kitchen, and laundry facilities are all included. Off-street parking for 2 to 3 vehicles. Sleeps up to 5 across a queen bed and a tri-bunk, close to Middleton Point.

You and your group will have the entire cottage to yourselves throughout your stay.

This renovated timber cottage sits close to Middleton Point and the township, an easy walk from the beach, the tavern, and local parks. It's a straightforward, no-fuss base for a family beach holiday, with a fully fenced yard that makes it one of the few pet-friendly options in the area.

The main bedroom has a queen bed, and the second offers a tri-bunk with a double on the bottom and single on top, suiting kids or a small group. The open-plan lounge and dining area has reverse-cycle air conditioning and a combustion fire for comfort in every season, along with a flat-screen TV and DVD player for movie nights. The galley kitchen covers the basics with a gas cooktop and oven, microwave, and a large fridge/freezer, and the laundry includes a top-loading washing machine for longer stays. The bathroom has a single vanity, toilet, and continuous hot water.

Outside, front and rear timber decks give you a couple of spots to relax, with the rear deck seating 6 to 8 around a gas BBQ overlooking the fenced backyard. A Balinese-style garden nook and outdoor hot and cold shower add a nice touch for rinsing off after the beach. Off-street parking fits 2 to 3 vehicles, and local tennis courts are also nearby for guests wanting more to do.

Great

Loved the deck with the combustion fire. The big back and fully enclosed yard for was excellent for our pooch. Close enough to the beach for a good walk, can still hear the surf and see it in the distance. Enjoyed some of the board games and DVD’s. The property manager was very responsive. It was just the right size for our family of 5. Had an excellent stay, will definitely recommend it.

The cottage is in a great position and loved the feel of it - value for money. I was very disappointed that it was so grubby. Who ever is being paid to clean isn't doing much. The bedroom fan and exhaust hood over the stove was coated in dust. The AC filter I cleaned as it blew dust - the house was dusty. The bathroomFloor grout was filthy and I cleaned it myself Clothes from previous renters were in the chest of drawer and the quilt covers need to be washed between stays. It needs a proper deep clean I have photos if you'd like them. It was v disappointing & the house needs some love - inside and out

The gas water heating system was faulty so I couldn't have a hot shower on the first night but the Unwind team responded to it in a professional and prompt manner. They tried really hard to solve the issue and I was impressed with their service. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks for your help.

Great stay for R and R

We have stayed here twice. Both times we have loved our stay. Pros - close to surf, dog friendly, lot of basic cooking utensils, everything you need for a great break. Cons - daybed covered in sticky sap, bunk room seems to get mozzies in there every night (odd) so both visits at different times of the year we have to do a sweep each night, and this time around the outdoor shower, which we all love and frequently use was broken. I reported on the day we arrived, we were told they would see what they could do, but no follow up or it being fixed while there. We went and purchased a wrench so we could still use after a surf. Given it would be a basic fix this was disappointing. Still really loved our stay and would recommend for both singles, pairs and families.

Location is great. Sitting outside on the deck is the best part as it is too smelly inside. The cottage smells moldy and the soft furnishing need cleaning or replacing. The main bedroom is very small. We felt it was way too expensive for what we got particularly as linen wasn't included.

Perfect for our family

We loved this beach house. We are a family of surfers, quick walk to the beach, outdoor shower, bakery up the road and a simple home. What more could we want?! Loved there was no wifi, made switching off all tech easier, esp for the teenager. Was a extra I didn’t anticipate. Yard great for the dog and she had fun exploring the garden. Only suggestion I have is to update the outdoor bed picture as kids anticipating cushions and rugs for that space. Also no complimentary wine on arrival which is not a big deal just update website so others aren’t disappointed. Otherwise loved it.
