Relax, Restore and Explore at The Sandy Sister

Within a 5min walk to two beaches (one surf beach and one sheltered beach great for playing in the sand), also located not far from entrance to the dog walking beach. Expansive decks, comfortable bedrooms and plenty of living space.

Enjoy the views through the bifold kitchen windows onto a great entertaining area. Multiple elevated decks, great aspect for watching the sunset over the ocean. Outdoor undercover bbq area.
