Sandy Shores - The perfect beach house *

Longer stay discounts available when booking direct.

we love this because...

It's our perfect pet friendly beach house on the Mornington Peninsula, so close to the beach you can hear the waves breaking at night and smell the sea air on the deck in summer
A property that is nestled into the sandy dunes of the Rye Ocean Beach but within walking distance to local shops for you to get your morning coffee


Welcome to Sandy Shores!
Immaculately presented, this recently renovated, high end beach house, is only 500 metres walk to the Rye Ocean Beach and the Mornington Peninsula National Park. It is secure and secluded, on a large leafy green oasis. Grab your surfboard and stroll up the road to the surf beach or sit back and relax to enjoy the sounds of nature.
You will need to walk up a number of steps to the front entrance (it's not for the faint-hearted or infirm!) as the house is situated high on a sand dune. However, the front garden has a beautiful gazebo with chairs around a firepit, great for any time of year, but Spring is our favourite with the smell of Jasmine in the air.
The beach retreat is set on three levels and comprises of six bedrooms (yep we said six), 3 bathrooms (yep we said 3) and 2 large living areas. The kids will love hide and seek at Sandy Shores.
Walk into the property on the upper level from the front deck with outdoor entertaining and BBQ and you will appreciate the attention to detail of all new furnishing and fittings.
Beautifully decorated you will love the Mediterranean feel and coastal style together with Australian Beech flooring and high ceilings. This really is the perfect beach retreat and finished to an extremely high standard.
Bookings are welcome for family groups and there are many steps and decks which might not be suitable for small children or anyone who is not good with steps. Grandad and Grandma may need some help.
A beach house goes without saying, the property includes a mosaic tiled swimming pool with solar heating and heat pump heating (dec - apr). The pool is 7 metres x 3 metres and has a 7-metre bench seat 50cm deep for those that want to sit and chill in the pool. The shallow end is 1.2m and a depth of 1.8m The pool is private, surrounded by landscapes, native plants and bluestone paving and has a 6-metre bench seating for taking in the afternoon sun. While there is no better feeling rinsing off under an outdoor hot shower straight after a swim!
On the upper level, you will find the main lounge with a large round sofa and gas fireplace. Watch TV with HD free to air, complimentary Foxtel, stream your favourite platforms or display ambient art work to suite the mood on a Samsung 65 Frame TV and Soundbar. Walk through to the dining room with a 2.7 metre dining table with plenty of room for at least 10 guests opposite the gourmet kitchen and butler's pantry. The dining room opens out to a west facing deck and private rear garden to capture the sun where you can sit and enjoy the sea breezes.
The lower ground floor holds the second lounge with a 3 seat sofa, a 7 foot billiard table, another 65 Samsung Frame TV and access to another lovely deck to catch the ocean breezes. This deck has a bar seating area for 4, a spot to enjoy a drink while the kids play in the games room.


Each bedroom is well appointed with a DC ceiling fan and split system to accommodate the varying temperatures each season can bring to the Peninsula. Commercial mattresses have also been sourced to ensure guests have a wonderful night sleep after a long and entertaining day.

The bathrooms give guests the luxury of not fighting over who gets to the shower first , enjoy the benefit of using 3 showers at once! The main bathroom includes a bath which is great for young families while the Master Ensuite includes not only a 3m high ceiling but its emerged in a 2m long skylight, providing an outdoor shower experience day and night.

There is automatic electronic gate access and ample parking spaces.Completing the coastal vibe is the sun-catching spacious main entry deck with a 12 seater outdoor setting, a 6 burner BBQ to accommodate large gatherings, and another outdoor Hot and Cold shower.


Please note that there are security cameras installed that are located on the outside of the property. The cameras will be recording during your stay.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE - Property is suitable for extended family groups only - maximum of 10 adults plus additional children

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?
The beach nearby is National Park and I cant walk there even on a lead so my hoomans take me to the many leash free beaches and parks in the area.
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.

Great please but need cleaning
Very nice, spacious and comfortable house. However extremely dirty. Very high cleaning fees to find a dirty house and dirty plates, cups and glasses on the cupboard. We had to wash everything. Very Disappointing!

Great house and very comfortable for three families to share. The gardens, in particular, were beautiful. Good location close to a set of small shops. The pool was quite cold and not powered heated which was a shame. We had a fantastic time.

Excellent for large family group
Great property for a large group with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Only slightly negative feedback I would say is that there were a lot of steps leading up to the house which makes it difficult for elderly/unwell visitors, and the solar heated pool was quite cool (but that didn’t stop the kids from jumping in and out of it our entire stay). Very clean 😊

My family and I had a wonderful Easter getaway in this place. Appliances were great along with the fire pit and the space was large enough for us not to be living on top of each other!

Wonderful stay in a stunning home!
My partner and I stayed here with friends for an annual golfing trip. The home was absolutely beautiful, with special attention paid to the little things that make a difference. Plenty of helpful amenities such as portable speaker, games and pool table made our stay so much fun. Sandy Shores staff were very friendly and helpful. When a problem popped up, a plumber was out within 30 minutes to fix it. Would definitely stay here again!

A beautiful holiday home
This house is very big yet feels very homely. You can have 3 families in the one home and still feel like you are not in each other's faces, that's how big the house is. The house is like a 2 minute walk to the back beach shops in Rye where they have a nice little café, milk bar, a bottle shop and a bakery. Every morning we went out to get our coffee and a nice little pastry from the shops. I love this house and the location, the house is itself is very unique so you do feel like you are on holidays because it's not an ordinary house. I recommend this house and will stay here again in a heartbeat! My whole family complimented how beautiful the home is.
