### Surfers Retreat

🌊 Vintage Pet Friendly Yeppoon Surf Shack with Ocean Breezes & Keppel Island Views  
  
Welcome to our laid-back Yeppoon surfers retreat, an old-school coastal home full of character, sea breezes, and relaxed beach-town charm. Just minutes from Yeppoon’s main street, this is the perfect base to slow down, explore the coast, and live like a local.  
  
Set on timber floors and soaked in salt air, the house opens onto a large open deck overlooking the Keppel Islands, where morning coffees, sunset drinks, and long coastal evenings quickly become a daily ritual. There’s even a bar fridge on the deck, so cold drinks are always within reach.  
  
🏠 The Space  
  
The home comfortably sleeps guests across 3 bedrooms and 4 beds:  
  
Main bedroom: Queen bed  
  
Second bedroom: Single-over-double bunk  
  
Third bedroom: Single bed  
  
There is 1 bathroom with a separate toilet. Please note the house is not suitable for guests with mobility issues, however there is a chair available that can be used in the shower if needed.  
  
Ceiling fans throughout and constant cool ocean breezes keep the home comfortable year-round — it’s part of the authentic coastal experience.  
  
🍽️ Living & Entertaining  
  
Fully equipped kitchen  
  
Large double-door stainless steel fridge/freezer with filtered water  
  
Vintage dining room perfect for shared dinners and relaxed breakfasts  
  
Kitchen bench workspace for laptop use  
  
Free Wi-Fi  
  
Out the back you’ll find a BBQ, entertaining area, and ping pong table, plus our personal favourite, the outdoor shower, ideal after the beach.  
  
🚲 Extras You’ll Love  
  
Free bikes to explore Yeppoon  
  
Washing machine & dryer  
  
Free parking on the driveway or street  
  
Space to bring a boat (street parking available)  
  
Wooden floorboards and timeless coastal styling throughout  
  
📍 Location  
  
You’re just minutes from:  
  
Yeppoon Main Street  
  
Beaches, cafes, and local shops  
  
Coastal walks and island adventures  
  
Everything you need is close, but the home still feels peaceful, breezy, and removed from the rush.
