Light spills through wide ocean-facing windows, timber textures warm each room, and the sea feels ever-present—whether you’re relaxing indoors or out on the deck. The main living room commands sweeping views across Encounter Bay, taking in The Bluff, Wright Island, Seal Rock, and Granite Island. It’s an ideal spot to unwind on the lounge, watch the changing light, or gather for a movie night beside the electric fireplace. A second living area adds another layer of relaxation, complete with a record player, books, and space to slow down with music or conversation as the breeze drifts through. The kitchen is bright and well-equipped, perfectly positioned to keep the ocean in sight while you cook. A Nespresso machine, a full suite of appliances, and a generous workspace make holiday meals effortless. The adjoining dining area brings everyone together—perfect for lingering breakfasts or long dinners that flow into the evening. Outdoors, choose between the front deck with its endless water views or the sheltered backyard (not fully enclosed) with a BBQ, fire pit, and lawned space for kids and pets. Three calming bedrooms continue the easy coastal rhythm: the primary offers a king bed and Smart TV, the second a queen, and the third two singles with trundles—ideal for children or extra guests. Two bathrooms make sharing simple: one with a bath, separate shower, and toilet, the other with shower and WC off the laundry. Split-system cooling, ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, a washing machine, and secure parking complete a home designed for relaxed seaside living. Please pack your own beach towels. One well-behaved non-shedding dog is welcome with prior approval ($75 pet fee applies). Shedding breeds may be allowed outdoors only. Note, the backyard is not fully-enclosed.

The practical provision supplied in the kitchen exceeded our expectation and just added to our experience at Frankie’s Beach House. Loved the view and easy access to beach, Yilki store and Pizza Bar. ##### Neil B. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel G. Oct 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location Loved our stay , house was well equipped with quality appliances, crockery , large tvs and comfy beds/ linen. A great base for beach walks and spots to grab lunch or dinner. I also liked the art. Some wood for out door fire pit would have been nice as it’s featured in pics, but that’s was a minor issue. ##### Rachel G. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret G. Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sea Views Beautiful sea views from the house -- beach across from the house great for the grandies -- found trundle bed a bit awkward -- not cleaned under the single beds -- we did enjoy our stay -- Thankyou ##### Margaret G.

Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning views Had a fabulous stay at Frankies, fantastic views, beautiful walk along the esplanade. The house has character with great atmosphere. Definitely recommend for anyone who want to watch the world go by. Wished we could have stayed longer..... ##### Bronwyn F. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris V. Jun 10, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Nice location, however ongoing construction works along the esplanade meant the nice outlook was obscured by fencing and signage with restricted and limited access to the beach and esplanade footpath. We would have booked somewhere else if this was known as this was the main reason for going there. No guide or instructions on how to use TV, heating (cold house) appliances etc, was a bit frustrating. Pet friendly but no sheltered/dry area outside to stay out of the rain. House was neat and tidy but some areas not well cleaned since last guests. No towels in one of the bedrooms. Was advertised with having kids books and toys but nothing there other than a couple of games. Were asked to strip the beds before we left, not sure if this is standard with these house rentals as it was the first time we have done this but seemed a bit odd given the price paid to stay there. Beach House Cafe and Whalers Dining close by, both very good. ##### Chris V. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### lorene r.
