About this property

Quintessential Beach Shack with all the mod cons.

St Andrews Beach is a remote, quiet and highly sort after area of the Mornington Peninsula. Away from the hustle and bustle.

My home is a recently renovated 1950’s Danish Design inspired, beach house with all the mod cons. Unlimited WiFi included.

Listen to the Ocean only minutes away from the sun drenched front deck and tranquil back garden.

*Please note below information regarding minimum booking fee and the House Manual.

* 2 Nights Minimum stay are for mid week bookings and weekend bookings. Peak times will have a longer minimum stay.
In most casse I can do a better deal if you book longer than 2 nights.

I try my best to keep your costs low but I have finally had to include an extra Covid Cleaning fee due to extra cleaning needs and cleaners raising thier prices. Please still ensure you leave the house as you found it to prevent extra cleaning fees.

No food in the bedrooms please.

Homeaway and Stayz service charges are out of my hands.

My home has 2 Bedrooms and an extra room/study with a very large desk and sofa for relaxing.

Bedroom 1 has a Queen Sized Bed.

Bedroom 2 has a Double Bed with a Queen Doona.

Both beds are new, high quality and extremely comfortable.

The existing Sunroom has now been renovated into a sitting room/study/3rd Private room with a door.

The house sleeps 4 guests comfortably making it great for couples or a small family. I can accept 5 guests if it's a family of 5. I have a small mattress I can provide for an extra $30 dollars including the extra linen and towel.

The home is finely furnished with all modern features including unlimited WiFi, air conditioning, Smart TV, washing machine, instant gas hot water and a fully equipped large kitchen with gas cooking and an integrated dishwasher. I am happy for you to use my Netflix account on this TV if you do not have one.

There is an undercover gas hooded BBQ out the back over-looking an outside eating area surrounded by an enchanted and private tea-treed garden.

Two sunny decks – front and back. Backyard is secured, comfortably accommodating small children. The front yard is also secured for children.

There is a herb garden and some vegetables (depending on the time of year) growing in the back yard. Help yourselves whilst you are here.

Ample and secure parking in the front yard of the property.

There is a new extension at the front of the building which is not accessible to guest. This does not affect the listing or your stay.
The entire property is yours when booked.
All photos on the listing are correct and true of what you are booking.


Linen:
Both beds will be made inclusive in the price.
This includes one towel per guest.
Please bring your own beach towels or extra towels if you need.
Also, please do not take the towels off site such as the hot springs.
Please do not use fake tan products on the linen provided. They stain the sheets.
Guests may be required to pay for the linen if stained. You are welcome to bring your own if you wish.

Please feel free to message me with any questions any time.

Kind regards

Sally.

*House Manual:

Welcome to the Beach Shack! I hope your trip down wasn’t too stressful.

The Rye Backbeach shops are on Dundas Street, only a 5 minute drive. There you’ll find a Pizza Place, a Grog Shop, a Bakery, a Cafe and a Milk Bar.

SHOES and FLOORS: Please refrain from wearing high heels or dragging in the chairs from outside. These have already damaged the floor. Please also do not move or drag furniture around the house.

ACCIDENTS on the Carpets:
Please do not use cleaning products on the woolen carpet without letting the owner know.
I have a special carpet cleaner who is very cheap and very good. It will be better for all in the long run if you let the owner know ASAP if any accidents occur.

CLEANING: Please leave the house as clean as you can. Extra Covid cleaning has taken its toll on all Accommodation and cleaners.
If the house is left in a bad state you may incur and an extra cleaning fee of up to $40 per hour.
If your rubbish does not fit in the outside bin then please take it with you.

WINDOWS and DOORS: The front sliding door is a new double glazed door. Please make sure that children do not scratch the windows or doors with toys or objects.

Please make sure all windows and doors are locked before you leave the house and the heating and cooling are turned off.

THE SOFA: Extra blankets are in the Main Bedroom drawers and on the back of the sofa. Please use these on the sofa if you think you are likely to get the sofa dirty. Please do not let children jump or wear shoes on the sofa.

AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER: Please do not leave the Air Conditioner or Heater on when you are not home. And make sure everything is turned off before vacating. You may be charged an extra utility fee if the heater or aircon is left on after you vacate.
The back security door also works well to cool down the house, especially when there is a breeze.

DVD: To watch a DVD press the ‘Input’ button on the TV remote. Scroll down to the ‘HDMI2’ prompt and press OK. If you want to revert back to the TV, do the same and press the ‘DTV’ prompt. Please do not try to pull the cords out of the back. They are in exactly the right places. Call me if problems occur with anything technical.

Google Chrome Cast: On HDMI 1 I have a Chrome Cast to make the TV a Smart TV. You may use my Netflix account on this TV only. Thank f you have your own account you can simply download the Google Home APP and follow the prompts.

Rubbish and BINS: All rubbish needs to be taken out of the house and recylcing needs to be recycled properly.
The bin goes out on Sunday nights. I will send you a reminder to put out the recycling bin if it needs to go out.
Please adhere to recycling rules. Do not put unrecycled waste in the recycle bin. If local council check our bins and it is not taken, you may be liable for a collection fee at your own expense.
The green waste bin may take vegetable peelings only. NO other food please.
If you have excess waste, you must take it home with you.

BBQ: Please make sure you clean the BBQ before and after use to sterilise it. You are in the nature here so you just don’t know who’s been playing around at night. If the gas runs out, please let the owner know.

FLYSCREENS: Flyscreen doors must be shut at all times. The mosquitoes can be a real problem in this area and will keep you awake if inside. There is a mozzie zapper in the kitchen cupboard near the back door if you wish to use it whilst you’re outside. Please clean after use and put it back in the box before you leave.

Bedding and Linen: Please do not use fake tan products on supplied linen.
If mattress protectors and doonas need to be washed after your stay, you may be required to pay a laundering fee or replace linen if badly stained.
The sheets and towels will be cleaned by the owner after your stay. Please leave the towels in the bath when you leave. If linen is stained, please try to soak this yourself or let the owner know.

FOOD and SHOES in BEDROOMS:
Please do not eat in the bedrooms or wear dirty shoes on the carpet.

Other than that, sit back, relax and enjoy the sound of the waves. Walk through Caesar Walk to get to the beach and try to find the sneaky path to the right.

Please feel free to call me if there are any urgent matters.
