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... This beach house is so unassuming from the outside, with its impressive front door being the only hint at a house from the road. But it is so close to everything you need for a beach holiday. The pounding ocean beaches are within walking distance but take care to swim between the flags at all times. We love being in the house as it wraps around a central courtyard, and the focus is a heated in-ground pool where we can't get the kids to leave no matter what we offer. We cook up a BBQ and laze in the outdoor lounge, creating our very own poolside piazza. It's so cool in summer and cosy warm in winter. We hardly use our car, we walk the short distance to the newly renovated Portsea Hotel for stunning food and great views and a perfect holiday vibe. We grab our coffee from Le Capucin and stroll across the lawn to take in the views of the bay. For the adventurous among us, we always book a dolphin swim, kayak or snorkelling session with BayPlay because you just can't beat being on the water (at any time of year). On warm winter days, we choose between the Farnsworth Track, Point Nepean or the Millionaires walk(where we get a sneak peek into how the rich and famous live by walking through their front gardens...for real, absolutely allowed). IMPORTANT TO NOTE - Property is suitable for maximum of 8 adults plus additional children. \*Please note the swimming pool is heated between November and April only. PAWfect What fun! a new house to visit that lets four-legged friends like me sleep inside. The courtyard garden doesn't have any grass so I always get a walk to tire me out. But there is a shady area at the side of the house that my 'hoomans' leave me when they go out, so I don't get too hot and I can feel safe. 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 ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Free toiletries - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Heated pool ### 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) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/61000000/60650000/60644300/60644240/f567d724.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bay Lyf - Beach House - Old School Summer Holidays are back Tootgarook - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-22&endDate=2026-01-23&selected=60644240&PinnedHotelID=60644240&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120440000/120430700/120430681/c099793a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Centre Court Sorrento Sorrento - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-22&endDate=2026-01-23&selected=120430681&PinnedHotelID=120430681&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88650000/88647600/88647551/44e62f97.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hamptons Resort: 3 BR, 2 BA House in Sorrento, Sleeps 6 Sorrento - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-22&endDate=2026-01-23&selected=88647551&PinnedHotelID=88647551&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99860000/99854100/99854069/3d35cfd0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peninsula Lifestyle Awaits Sorrento - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-22&endDate=2026-01-23&selected=99854069&PinnedHotelID=99854069&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103050000/103047700/103047683/442a79fc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Comfort and splendour between the surf and the bay Sorrento - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-22&endDate=2026-01-23&selected=103047683&PinnedHotelID=103047683&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78760000/78754400/78754347/975d42f5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quietly positioned close Sorrento village and beach - (sleeps 10) Sorrento - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-22&endDate=2026-01-23&selected=78754347&PinnedHotelID=78754347&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Dinusha M. 6 Apr 2019 #### Beautiful house Beautiful house, great area and a reasonable price. We enjoyed our stay at this property very much, had everything you need and plenty of space. Only issue was we went on a cold weekend, and the gas heated pool was very cold and hence couldn't really be utilized which is unfortunate as that's the reason we booked the house. But the rest of the house was great. ##### Dinusha M.
