About this property
Tidal Dreams - Absolute Beachfront
Step back in time and experience the unique charm of this lovingly preserved, over 120-year-old beachfront cottage—one of the rare gems on the island offering direct access to the pristine shores of Pumicestone Passage.
Rich in history and character, this charming cottage was originally transported by barge before the bridge existed, making it a true heritage treasure. While thoughtfully updated over the years, it still retains its authentic charm, featuring original finishes such as eighty-year-old light shades that create a warm and nostalgic ambiance throughout.
Located in an exceptionally rare beachfront setting shared by only ten properties on the entire island, this home offers unparalleled access to white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from your own deck, watch the kids play safely on the shore, or cast a line and fish directly from your backyard. For boating enthusiasts, the sandy flats at the front of the property make anchoring your boat simple and convenient.
Beyond the tranquility of the beach, a short walk brings you to the vibrant heart of Bongaree. Here you’ll find the iconic Bongaree Jetty, a variety of shops, cafes, clubs, and restaurants, as well as parks and scenic walking and biking trails. Nature lovers will appreciate nearby Buckleys Hole, a haven for bird watchers, while weekend markets add a lively community vibe.
The cottage provides a cozy and comfortable retreat with three bedrooms and one bathroom. The main bedroom features a queen-size bed, TV, and air conditioning for restful nights. The second bedroom offers a double bed with air conditioning, and the third bedroom is furnished with two single beds, also air-conditioned. The bathroom, located just a few steps from the lounge, includes a separate toilet, shower, vanity, and a washing machine for your convenience.
Inside, the living area is inviting and equipped with air conditioning, a comfortable sofa, and a TV. The fully equipped kitchen caters to all your culinary needs, while the separate dining room with a breakfast bar offers lovely views of the water—perfect for family meals or entertaining guests.
Step outside to enjoy classic outdoor experiences: gather around the front yard fire pit, teach the kids to cook over a camp oven, roast marshmallows, or enjoy a barbecue with the day’s fresh catch using the special Fisherman’s outdoor setup. The large yard provides ample space for backyard cricket, bike rides, and endless family fun.
This historic cottage offers a rare combination of heritage charm, direct beach access, and proximity to local attractions—making it the perfect setting for a memorable island holiday filled with relaxation, adventure, and timeless coastal beauty.
