It’s our home: full of vintage furniture and things that we’ve collected on our travels, with a yard and living space set up for kids, dogs, or just yourselves to enjoy. It has everything you need to feel comfortable, like a full kitchen (um, hello Maldon sea salt), a mattress you won’t want to leave, dreamy bed linen, and hommey bath-towels. The yard is fully secure for dogs and our garden grows by the week. Enjoy your morning coffee and that northern sun on the oversized outdoor bench. After the days adventures, open up the many windows and breezy sliding doors to cook up a BBQ, jump in the outdoor 4-person infrared sauna or try your hand at the pizza oven. If you want to leave, we’re a: 3 minute drive to city-quality coffee 5 minute drive to Rye beach for a dip 5 minute drive to Woolies for… everything 6 minute drive to the Hot Springs 6 minute drive to Eagle Ridge Golf Course 8 minute drive to Hawkes Farm for produce & hot chippies ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - No elevator (single-level property) - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44580000/44576700/44576673/846ef687.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Raymond Coastal Cottage Tootgarook - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill - Microwave 6.8 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=44576673&PinnedHotelID=44576673&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73100000/73091100/73091062/2258833f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cute Beach Cottage Rosebud - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 46 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=73091062&PinnedHotelID=73091062&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105800000/105797500/105797438/e0686d71.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Warraburra Beach Shack Rosebud - with private beach box. - Enjoy your own beach box with chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and more!
