This charming 1950s Australian fibro beach shack combines nostalgic character with modern comfort, offering an idyllic coastal retreat. Located just one block from the beach, you’ll enjoy the perfect spot for sun-soaked days, refreshing ocean dips, and easy strolls to the Wye General Store, Café, and Wye Beach Hotel. Surrounded by native gum trees, the property boasts stunning ocean views and a serene atmosphere, often visited by local wildlife like kookaburras and cockatoos. Ipanema is pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry companions to enjoy the beach and tranquil setting with you. Inside, the shack features two cozy queen bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom, and a light-filled living area. Step outside onto the expansive deck to soak in the sea breeze and breathtaking views—a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. Amenities include pantry staples, a bookshelf, a record player, a portable speaker, and a TV with Chromecast and DVD player. A small additional bungalow on the property adds extra charm.
