ABOUT US

We are a brother and sister team who share a passion for travel and staying in alternative, quirky accommodation and love beautiful Jervis Bay.

CONCEPT

As we have both experienced many different types of accommodation through personal and work related travel over the years, we have combined as many positive experiences as possible and used them to create a home away from home.

As the architectural style is very 'retro' and we were fortunate to obtain many pieces of the former owner's 60/70's furniture, it was only natural to follow and retain this theme. We have added original retro pieces, thrown in some modern items, sourced locally and internationally. We have paid the upmost attention to take you on a trip down memory lane, providing board games, books, music and movies from the late 60's & 70's, whilst at the same time providing some modern day comforts like flat-screen TVs and a blu ray DVD player.

A brilliant getaway
Our stay at Retro Sands was fantastic! The house was well appointed and immaculately clean, and allowed our group to relax easily into the beautiful location. A step back in time in the most wonderful way! Hope to visit again.

Perfect Week
We were lucky enough to stay in this delightful house for an entire week. Sandra was the perfect host, checking we had everything we needed before and during our stay. The house is beautifully maintained with top quality bedding, appliances and necessities . Location is just across the road from the sparkling waters of Jervis Bay. We will definitely be back.

A Perfect Stay In A Perfect Location
Our family so enjoyed our stay at Retro Sands, it was exactly as advertised. Hosts Sandra & Ken have managed to create a wonderful holiday home full of so many nostalgic bits and pieces, and at the same time ensured our demands and expectations of modern family life were not only met but exceeded by a huge margin! Everywhere we looked in this immaculate home we came across their careful attention to detail. A really fun and relaxing place to stay in a magnificent location. While there’s a maximum of five stars to rate our experience in this review, we think Retro Sands deserves six stars all round. We’re looking forward to our next stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Sandra

Host profile image
We are a brother and sister team with a passion for Jervis Bay, travel and anything ‘retro’.

Why they chose this property

Not only is the location amazing, with beautiful Jervis Bay just across the narrow road from the house, so is the history of the house itself. It is an original Australian Beachcomber that was owned by the previous guests for 45 years. As there aren’t many of these left in the area, we have made it our mission to preserve it the best way we can. All renovations are done respecting the ‘retro’ style. We aim to take our guests back in time and take them on a trip down memory lane when they stay in our unique time capsule.

What makes this property unique

Although ‘retro’ themed with a great selection of books, music, movies, furniture and decor from that era, we also have all the mod cons.

We also supply all fine quality bedding, linen, bath and beach towels.

Retro Sands Beach House is located across from Barfleur Beach in Vincentia. There are two direct beach accesses and a great walking/bike path that runs along the various beaches. From the balcony you receive beautiful views of Jervis Bay. Our large backyard is fully enclosed with a large undercover entertaining patio. Our double garage is full of outdoor games, sun lounges, umbrellas, laundry and a table tennis table and dart board.
