Your family beach house is most definitely a 'slice of heaven'. It was simply breathtaking in its layout, furnishings and design - you girls are true contenders for the Block. When Mary and I walked inside our jaws just hit the ground - awesome! Then we went outside and found it difficult to breathe for the first five minutes - just magnificent. I thank your whole family for allowing my family to have a few days together in the most gorgeous surroundings. In fact, Belinda wanted to book a time for us again next year. Family has always been a crucial part of my life and this short break gave Mary and I an opportunity to be with all of our girls. Love and Best Wishes Always, Robert and Mary ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Contactless check-in available ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM Contactless check-out available ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a deadbolt lock This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Hosts were also very accomodating and easy to contact with any questions. Highly recommend and hope to stay again ##### Carlie r. Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luke R. May 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect escape My family and I had a fantastic, relaxing time at Aida's house in Long Beach. A morning ritual of heading to the beach and fire pit on the evening was a fantastic way to spend some quality time away from everyday life. The cabin was exactly what we needed and met our needs and expectations and the area was exceptionally quiet and easy going. We have stayed in a number of houses around Long Beach on the past but this house is definitely our favourite. We'll be looking forward to coming back in the future for another relaxing, tranquil getaway. ##### Luke R. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cecile N. Mar 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Heaven We had a wonderful stay at Karel’s. It’s so convenient to have the beach being an extension of the backyard, particularly with an 11months old baby. There is a lot of love in this holiday home and it can be felt. We were relaxed by the sound of the waves, and had picnics on the grassy backyard below the pine tree with a view on the ocean. ##### Cecile N.

Great location and well appointed. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. Only small criticism is that there is no outdoor area to enjoy the view and have meals or a quiet drink at the end of the day. This will not prevent us from returning, but it certainly would improve the experience. ##### Melanie G. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rod D.

This was our second stay at this lovely property. Very clean and cosy with all the creature comforts of home. Right on the beach for passing the time in the surf with the kids and fishing for dinner. Seven days of total relaxation and bliss. With Batemans Bay a quick drive away for fresh oysters and the best fish and chips, finished by yummy ice cream. Thank you, Aida. We are definitely returning! Michael ##### Michael N. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Renee Jan 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We loved staying right on the beach. The only down side was getting charged in US dollars, which was unexpected. We ended up paying more than expected/quoted, I'm presuming it's due to exchange rate. I liked our stay but not at that price. We won't use this platform again. ##### Renee Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James C. Apr 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful spot We loved staying at this gorgeous house which is right on the beach. It is immaculately presented and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. We loved listening to the ocean as we fell asleep each night. The firepit at the back on the grass in front of the beach was awesome and our young family toasted marshmallows as the sun set. A great spot for a sun downer or ten too. Overall, it's a fantastic place to unwind and just enjoy the south coast. Aida was awesome and really helped us with settling in and choosing nice places to eat etc. Many thanks! ##### James C. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonia S. Apr 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Water views forever My husband and I stayed at this lovely property for 4 nights. The check-in process was so easy with an email being sent with all the details required a few days before our stay. When we arrived we were taken aback with the absolutely gorgeous beach view and access from the property. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for our getaway. We loved having the modern technology of wi-fi and smart tv as the weather was unfortunately not on our side but as the house was so comfortable it didn’t matter. Bateman’s Bay was only 10 minutes drive away and we found ourselves driving around Long Beach visiting the many Roos and birds (swamp hens) that reside in the little community. One of the best features of the house was the extremely comfortable king sized bed. I haven’t slept so soundly and listening to the waves helped us relax as well. Thank you for having us and we hope to come back again when the sun is shining a little more. ##### Sonia S. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clinton M.
