The addition of a large, friendly, covered outdoor area complete with Weber BBQ, as well as a complete inside re-fit including a new bathroom, has provided a contemporary take on an old style Straddie beach shack. The main bedroom is air-conditioned and private. The second bedroom also has A/C and doubles as a lounging area. Just a hop, skip and a jump to Bob's shop, and a 5-minute walk to Cylinder and Deadman's beaches, Curlew is in a great, central location. Perfect for a weekend away with a young family or a couple with a small dog. The shack has neither wi-fi or TV, so if it's an "unplugged" break you're after, Curlew Shack is the place. Nestled at the bottom of a sloping block, the shack is shaded by several old gums trees and, as the name suggests, a resident group of Curlews provide constant companionship. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Shower ### Entertainment - TV ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114120000/114111800/114111776/34ce413f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Contemporary BeachHouse with Bush Outlook Amity Point - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 3 reviews CA $1,123 CA $1,123 total includes taxes & fees Oct 20 - Oct 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=114111776&PinnedHotelID=114111776&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34020000/34010400/34010320/04fd947a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### STARFISH ON STRADDIE Point Lookout - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 196 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=34010320&PinnedHotelID=34010320&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114120000/114111900/114111834/fd14317f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perfect for retired folk, Fisherman & Small families Amity Point - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $1,155 CA $1,155 total includes taxes & fees Oct 11 - Oct 12 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=114111834&PinnedHotelID=114111834&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66790000/66788300/66788247/862d7126.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 bedroom 2 bathroom townhouse in convenient, central Point Lookout.

Sep 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Definitely Unplugged We love Stradbroke island and had a great time while we were here. A longer stay revealed that it’s fine to not have internet, a tv, a DVD player or phone reception strong enough to hot spot- if that’s your purpose For getting away. The hot water system is dodgy and the pipes extremely noisy. Would be great to have more pots and pans (there is a frying pan and a pot). The other interesting thing about this cottage is that there is no lounge room. Your communal space is outside rain or shine. It is in a great location (walking distance to Deadman’s Beach) and you get to be on Straddie. The retro decor is really nice. ##### Karen M.
