La Bella Vista Escape

And we're back... as promised, with a pool!

This beautifully presented, open plan home has everything you will need to make for a great beach holiday. Highly elevated and boasting breathtaking views of both the bay and surrounding natural environment, this property is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city living. With the recent inclusion of a heated mineral pool on the FRONT deck, there's really no reason to leave!

Comprising 3 bedrooms, configuration as follows;
Master bedroom 1 x queen bed

The house is fully self-sufficient with a well appointed kitchen with dishwasher and microwave as well as complimentary starter coffee pods, sugar and tea. The laundry is equipped with washing machine and dryer.

Upstairs you will find the enormous Master Bedroom and Parents' Retreat complete with a second lounge, smart TV and DVD player. The spacious ensuite includes a spa bath looking out onto the bay.

In the open plan living area downstairs, enjoy the pool table and Retro arcade machine including over 50 games! Otherwise relax on the couch and catch up on your favourite Foxtel shows or DVDs.

For winter stays, the house is equipped with wall heating in the bedrooms, as well as a split system on both levels and a gas Coonara in the main living area. In the summertime, cooling is provided by the reverse cycle split systems and ceiling fans in the living area and some bedrooms.

*Surveillance cameras are in operation OUTSIDE the propety. The front deck, pool, side and backyard are in view. Footage is only viewed in the event of damage to the property or antisocial behaviour.

*The pool is infinity style, meaning that the edge along the front is not fenced. Rest assured, that we have small children also & this has never been a problem for us. Also be assured that we rent to families with children on a very regular basis. Please consider whether this is right for your group.

Typical reasons bonds have not been returned in full:
Firstly, it is highly unusual for us not to return bonds in full. Bonds are docked in only about 1% of stays at our house. These have been the reasons:

-Excessive rubbish has been left at the property; it is absolutely crucial that the bins are put out for collection each week.
-The house has not been left in a clean state and extra cleaning was required
-Cigarette butts or bottle top/caps have been discarded on the grounds, gardens or decks
-Neighbours have complained about late night noise or antisocial behavior
-Evidence has been found of smoking inside the house
-Evidence has been found of pets inside OR outside the house.
-Air conditioning units/heating/lights left on.

Very warm and homey
We really loved our stay here, the house was really homey, very clean and had plenty of things to keep us entertained. We loved the pool table and the pool and spa which was heated nicely enough to spend time in even though it was winter. The bottle of wine and chocolates were a lovely touch.

One of if not THE BEST
My family and close friends spent three nights here and we had the best time. From the layout of the home, to the pool, to the stargazing at night. Everything was perfect and dreamy and we will definitely be coming back in the future. We even tried to book again from Christmas 😂 Thankyou Stephanie for being such a gracious host xx

Lovely week-long stay
Beautiful and spacious property perfect for a 6-night getaway with a large family group. My toddler had a great time playing in the outdoor cubby/swing set, and the adults made use of the pool table! The house was located within a short drive to shops, restaurants and beaches in Rye and Rosebud. We had a problem with the dishwasher on the first day, which was very quickly rectified by the owners.
