With its maze of rooms and stylish interiors, this property is perfect for relaxing after a day spent swimming and sunbaking on the white sandy beaches of Rye and Tootgarook. 10 Exceptional ### Entire home 4 bedrooms4 bathroomsSleeps 12 ## Popular amenities - Breakfast available - Beach view - Parking available - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Bay Lyf - Beach House - Old School Summer Holidays are back Special Offer: Book and Pay for a minimum of 2 nights (Fri and Sat) between May 1st and November 30th (excluding public holidays and school holidays) and we can add in a Sunday night for free\*. \*to claim your night simply book & pay for your two nights (Fri and Sat) via Stayz and send us a message and ask us to add in the Sunday. We will add in the Sunday, subject to availability. The offer is not available if any of the dates chosen fall into a public holiday or Victorian School Holidays. We love this because... Remember those old school type summer holidays that included backyard cricket and long days on the beach. Bay Lyf reminds us of better days, simpler days when things were less complicated. We adore the original beach house with its maze of rooms but the interiors are so up to date and oozing layers of style. We walk across the road to the white Sandy beaches of Rye and Tootgarook and spend all our summer days swimming and sunbaking. If we are feeling energetic we take the Bay Trail walk in either direction and end up at either Rye or Rosebud. In the summer the funfair is on to entertain the kids in one location and the circus in the other. Perfect. Our favorite spot for coffee and breakfast is only a 2-minute walk away at The Kitchen and for something special we always choose Veraison Restaurant which is only a 5-minute walk. PAWfect What fun! a new house to visit that lets (SMALL) four-legged friends like me sleep inside. Yay! a garden with tall fences to keep me safe. I love walking to the beach where I can go swimming in the ocean with all the other doggies (but only at certain times of the year). And there's a special basket just for me. No way! What's in there? Ooh, ooh! a treat from PAWDINKUM. I LOVE THIS PLACE. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110710000/110705100/110705094/08873862.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Resort-style living close to front beach and shops Blairgowrie - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=110705094&PinnedHotelID=110705094&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, Netflix, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71730000/71726500/71726483/9f58c0d9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seaesta Rye by Ready Set Stay - Pet-friendly, solar heated pool, WIFI, Netflix Rye - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 45 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=71726483&PinnedHotelID=71726483&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48740000/48733200/48733130/3f899ef4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Art House - 5 Bedroom luxury holiday house in the heart of Rosebud Rosebud - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=48733130&PinnedHotelID=48733130&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44260000/44252100/44252026/8fbdc51c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunsets on the deck, Elevated exclusive location, (sleeps 12) Sorrento - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=44252026&PinnedHotelID=44252026&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75190000/75183600/75183555/w1994h1330x3y3-c3967fd1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BEST location!

Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chandana 25 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The house is beautiful, spacious and has a large back yard. Getting to the beach does require crossing a major road but it was fairly easy to do by walking down the road a bit. Rooms are well decorated and furnished and clearly done by someone who's perfectly captured the beach vibe. The house has plenty of space for a group of 10. ##### Chandana Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lawrence K. 28 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice stay at Bay Lyf Spent a nice week with the family at Bay Lyf.
