Paws n Relax - Pet friendly, walk to off leash beach and cafes

There’s a blend of rainforest, Bali and Byron Bay in this relaxed, elevated 3 Bedroom, Pet friendly home, less than 10 minutes walk to lighthouse beach.

Across the street is a tropical wetlands boardwalk and birdwatching area that leads you towards the 4WD and off-leash dog beach and camel rides. Dogs are allowed off leash south of the beach access and north to Watonga rocks. The patrolled surf beach is a short walk up the sand past Watonga rocks.

If you take the path across the street it will also lead you to Blair reserve with a playground and dirt bike track. Great little cafes and convenience shops are a 5 minute walk. Coles, pharmacy and Tacking Point Tavern are 4km away.

The home is renovated at the front and original at the back. The kitchen, living, dining and deck are renovated, the bathroom and bedroom windows are original.

The home is clean and tidy with beautiful ocean breezes if you open the windows and let the fresh air in! Lighthouse beach can get seasonally humid and the home is up in the trees. Sit back and relax on the large deck and listen to the sounds of the waves and wildlife.

This home was great for our family and dog for the week. It had everything we needed and the location was brilliant - walking distance to local shops, coffee and dog friendly beach. The deck was a lovely place to be, especially in the mornings when it caught the autumn sun. The bedrooms and living space were a little on the small side for our family of two teenagers however the price point was really reasonable. Thanks for a great stay!

Great house packed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Peaceful location and walking distance to the local shops and dog friendly beach which our Rocket absolutely loved!

North facing deck for outdoor relaxation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was perfectly located in a quiet street close to beaches, coffee shop and super market. Its a comfortable cottage with a large north facing outdoor area. Pet friendly. Comfortable beds, equipped kitchens and clean bathroom. The only thing i could suggest is a gate above the internal and external stairwells. Property agent was very responsive and helpful

Delightful Modern Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a delightful beach themed and lovingly prepared holiday home. My dogs and I were lucky enough to have stayed 6 weeks there. Sun drenched HUGE balcony, three great size bedrooms and modern kitchen. The owners have gone to great effort to think of absolutely anything you could want in the home making it seem very much like your home away from home. Loved our stay and just adored the owners I was lucky enough to meet. Delightful!!! HIGHLY recommended!!!
