The ease of being able to walk out the door with your beach bag and be on the sand in mere minutes is so relaxing. Shelly Beach is so beautiful,tranquil and has the added safety of being a Surf Lifesaving patrolled beach. Shelly Beach House was neat and tidy and well equipped for a comfortable stay. Shops and takeaways are very close and convenient, and if you can't tear yourself away there are plenty of restaurants that deliver. The only negative was that we eventually had to leave hahaha.

There were a few hurdles gaining access and confusion about our booking which caused a delay in checking in. This was however rectified relatively quickly by the property manager. The house is well appointed and comfortable. A bit of TLC and the place could be a cracker. This has already been covered in other reviews regarding lights, doors and cleanliness. However, would stay again as these were only minor inconveniences, the positives well outweighed the hurdles. ##### Mitchell J. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anika D.

Nice cafe's and takeaways nearby. The only blemish was the floor under the furniture where are puppy was determined to store all her balls, old snacks and wrappers and dust, not too much, but enough to be icky. Also, you need to use the parking bay in front of the house, not the driveway, that wasn't clear to us, but no dramas. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jason d.
