About this house rental
Casa el Punto is situated just off the beach as close as one can possibly be to the Illawarra's iconic Sandon Point, this exquisite home offers something for any holiday goer. Whether you want to play on the beach, relax, tour, or engage in a mixture of activities, you can do it all here. There are also a multitude of local sights and destinations to visit and/or experience in easy reach.
For beach lovers, this beautifully appointed home sits 50 meters across from Sandon Point Beach, with McCauleys/Thirroul beaches to the north, and Bulli/Woonona patrolled beaches except for McCauleys. Plenty of sun, sand, and surf for everyone. One of the best kept secrets of this stretch of adjoining beaches is how tranquil it can be compared to Austi/Thirroul beaches during the summer. Even in the midst of the school holidays, you may find yourself one of just a handful of people strolling along the beach at any given time of the day (except on Sunday mornings if surf school is in session!).
For surfers: For the more accomplished, Sandon Point Break is well known for its awesome (and frequent) world class waves. It is a classic right hand point break. Additional choices for depending on your capability and the conditions include Bombie on the opposite side; the Reef (a reef break) about a 200 meters south followed by Peggy's, another righthander. You can check all of these breaks out from the front deck. Just further south is a another whole set of options including Bulli and Woonona, the reef break at Bellambi which has become very popular among the long boarders.
If you want the best of everything, accommodation, location, view, amenities, proximity to the beach, and a very custom personalized approach, then..... Casa el Punto is the go!

The Location
Hard to beat the a day at the beach? Just walk out the front door. Not much to pack up when it's only 50 meters to the sand! Have a picnic on the grass overlooking the beach. A large canopy is available upon request.
Go for a jog or a bike ride? A 13km bike track for walking, jogging, and cycling is right outside the front door and hugs the foreshore all the way into Wollongong. We've got bikes and helmets!
Enjoy bushwalking? There are some great trails in the local area including a hiking trail up the escarpment to Sublime Point only minutes away.
There are three great cafes within short walking distance (less than 1k!) ...The Point Cafe (great food, friendly staff, only 150 meters away), Bulli Beach Cafe (great food, great views, best position), Ruby's (best value and a local favourite).
Thirroul Village restaurants and shops are minutes away by car or a relaxing walk along the bike trail.
The location is also a great base for a host of other adventures ....Symbio Wildlife Park, Sea Cliff Bridge, Hang gliding at Bald Hill, coastal drive through Royal National Park. Easy day trips to the coastal towns of Shellharbour, Kiama, Jamberoo, and Berry. Take a drive up through MacQuarie pass to Robertson and the Illawarra Fly.
... just kick back with a glass of wine and some canapes on the deck and enjoy the view!
The combination of position, views, proximity to sights and services, and all of its amenities makes it hard to beat.
For our international visitors, Sydney's CBD is an easy train ride (an hour and 20 minutes) through some picturesque country.

Wedding of the Year 2019
A wonderful experience for our son's wedding preparations, music throughout the house, sunny morning deck overlooking the ocean. It was a very homely and welcoming house with everything that we needed.
The owner, Michael, met us at the house explaining all the electronic equipment and was very helpful. The welcoming package made us feel very special for this special weekend.
We would not hesitate to recommend and will return one day.

What a Fantastic House and Location.Michael our host was most accommodating and helpful when we first arrived showing us everything this house has for us to use, and let me tell you this house has absolutely everything.Everything has been catered for including complimentary Bread, Milk and even a great bottle of Red.
I cant recommend this place any higher, other than the 5 star rating and that we will be back to Casa El Punto very soon. Thankyou!!

Wonderful hosts who have thought of everything (beach gear, kitchen utensils and even kids toys). The location is perfect with a cafe a few minutes walk and the beach just across the street. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a beach getaway.

Perfect on the Point
We've stayed at this fabulous property twice - and that's a first! You'll return too when you experience the instant feeling of coming home as you step in the door. It doesn't feel like a holiday rental, it feels like a holiday HOME. Generous provisions, plenty of cookware (if you are so inclined), beach towels, bikes, boogie boards...and then there's the balcony. Sit back and watch the waves roll in, or walk across the road to the patrolled beach. We'll be back again.

location opposite safe swimming beach and walking distance to cafe's great especially with young chi
Casa el Punto was our home away from home. All facilities were at our disposal. Lovely home very well appointed and very suitable for our family. We hope to make this our yearly beach holiday destination. Thank you Janice who met us on arrival and to Michael for his excellent help with everything to do with our reservation. You make a wonderful team. Kindest regards Anna Colpo and family

We had two 5 night stays in 2 weeks with a mix of grandchildren and parents.
The best holiday house,location and facilities. We made good use of the bikes and boards. Michael gave us a great welcome and we certainly plan to return.
A great house and a great location!

Fantastic weekend away
Had the most amazing Weekend away with some family and friends. This house looks much better in person believe it or not. Absolutely stunning views and everything about the house especially the sound system was 5 star. Incredibly hospitable and friendly owners, who really went above and beyond what you would expect from literally anywhere else.

Memorable Family Holiday
The house and the location were the perfect venue for a 6 night stay over Christmas for 6 adults and two children 6 and 4. There was plenty of space for everyone. You could regulate the temperature in different parts of the house. There was better equipment in the kitchen than most people would have at home. It was a pleasure to cook a turkey and have a baked dinner on Christmas Day. If the weather had been bad (which it wasn't) we would have found plenty to amuse ourselves. What a well kept secret Bulli is and it is so close to Sydney too!
5.0
You couldn't ask for more
The property lived up to its promise. Superb location with sweeping views of the coastline across the road from the beach. Thoughtfully fitted out with quality equipment and other inclusions making meal preparations and entertainment for children a pleasure. Personal reception at arrival and a tour of the house made us feel at home. A short stay of 3 days did not do justice for the place. Perhaps a bit picky but a Jack was missing from one pack of cards!

Excellent Property in Bulli
Beautiful property very close to the beach and some quality cafes. Michael and Janice went well and truly over and above to make the property feel like a holiday home rather than a holiday house, catered very well to our young family. Access to WiFi, Apple TV and a huge (huge!) music library was brilliant when the weather turned. Will certainly return. If we had to pick a small hesitation (really small and only applicable to very young families!), it would be that our young boys (1-5 yo) and their curiosity became a small challenge with the fantastic range of music instruments and ornaments throughout the property, but also that with property being on a blind corner opposite the Surf Club (busy on weekends), you needed to make sure you had your eye on those wondering feet when leaving the property.

Excellent property
Our family (5 adults and 2 small children) stayed at Casa el Punto over the Easter Weekend to attend a family wedding. It was one of our best holidays ever! Michael and Janice provided a wonderful base for our weekend. We can't believe how comfortable the house was and how many inclusions were provided to make it a truly 5 star stay. The food inclusions were excellent and we enjoyed all the comforts of home.. and more!! Thank you!!
