### NELSON BY THE SEA - Everything you hope for in a beach house

we love this because...  
As a family when we think if a beach holiday house we hope for white weatherboards, porthole style windows and timber boardwalks so when we arrived at NELSON BY THE SEA before we even entered we knew we had found the perfect escape.  
Tucked away in a quiet pocket close to Sorrento and the beach it was an easy 15-minute walk to the Sorrento Sailing Club and a little longer to walk into Sorento townships itself.   
We stayed with extended family and teenage kids and there was space for everyone inside this contemporary house with its high cathedral ceilings, wooden floorboards and contrasting beams.  
The grandparents sat and read outside, the kids played billiards downstairs and watched movies but everyone came together on the huge deck with hydrotherapy spa. There is a beautiful Peppercorn Tree in the garden and the grassed lawn was perfect for a bit of backyard cricket and safe for our pooch.   
Bring your own tennis raquets and balls and walk to the hidden treasure that is the tennis court (communal and free) at Tuckey Track Reserve. Put your name down in the book (but usually there is no wait list), it is even pet friendly and there is a bbq and picnic table if you want to make an afternoon of it.  
We walked the dog to the Koonya Dog Beach which only takes about 20 minutes and he loves the shallow waters that go out for miles.   
For dinner, The Baths is our favourite restaurant and is only a 30-minute walk away. We watch the Sorrento/Queenscliff ferry dock on the hour and the weather change across the bay. For something special, we love Loquat and its only a 20-minute walk from Nelson by the Sea.  
IMPORTANT TO NOTE - Property is suitable for maximum of 6 adults plus additional children.  
  
PAWfect  
What fun! a new house to visit that lets four-legged friends like me sleep inside.  
Yay! a garden with tall fences to keep me safe. Love the trees and bushes, there are lots of interesting smells. Are those possums in the trees?  
And there's a special basket just for me. No way! What's in there? Ooh, ooh! a treat from PAWDINKUM. I LOVE THIS PLACE.
