About the home
“Surf Beach Remote Retreat” is a modern single-storey family and pet-friendly home in Surf Beach, just a short walk from the Beach and a comfortable drive from all the supermarkets, restaurants & cafés of Cowes and Cape Woolamai. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:
Indoor Areas
The central Entrance opens into a hallway connecting the home’s three bedrooms and main living spaces, with direct access out to the Deck perfect for relaxing outdoors. Bedroom 1 (with BIR) and Bedroom 2 (with free-standing clothes hanger & shelves) are positioned toward the front of the home, while Bedroom 3 (with WIR) sits further down the hall near the central Bathroom (with shower & toilet).
The hallway flows through to the Living Room (with an 85” Smart TV) and Office/Work from home area, thoughtfully tailored for remote workers with extremely fast WiFi, a large 48-inch widescreen, and a wall of QR codes offering fun local ideas and AI assistance. Adjacent is the Kitchen/Dining area, while a separate Toilet and fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer) add extra convenience for guests.
Outdoor Areas
The rear outdoor area features a gas BBQ, a fold-up umbrella, and comfortable seating for 6, creating the perfect space for relaxed outdoor dining. The fully enclosed rear yard is ideal for families with children and pets, offering both comfort and peace of mind. There is a fantastic EV charger available for guest use (7.4kW, single phase, Type 2) and space to park up to 5 vehicles (cars and/or boats) on the property.
Note: The property is equipped with external security cameras including coverage of the front entrance, driveway, front yard, backyard, and back entrance. There is also a camera inside the private storage/linen closet (not inside any guest-accessible areas).
Kitchen
The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, a microwave, a Deloghi coffee pod machine (Nespresso compatible), a toaster, a kettle, etc., plus a double sink, a fridge, a dishwasher, an electric oven and induction stove.
Heating/Cooling Systems
There are three wall-mounted reverse-cycle air conditioners in the home—one in the living room and one each in Bedrooms 1 & 3; Bedroom 2 does not have its own unit but is more than adequately serviced from the Living Room system when the door is open.

What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for.
