About this house rental
Welcome to The Sands—a spacious, comfortable retreat that sleeps up to 18 guests in quality beds. Perfect for families, friends, and group celebrations, this home offers the ideal setting for relaxation, entertainment, and making unforgettable memories.
The Sands offers a variety of sleeping options across its thoughtfully designed bedrooms: Bedroom 1 (downstairs) features a double bed and a single bunk bed; Bedroom 2 (upstairs) has a queen bed; Bedroom 3 (upstairs) offers another queen bed; and Bedroom 4, known as The Beach Room (upstairs), is a versatile space with one queen bed, two triple bunk beds (double on the bottom, single on top), and one standard single bunk—perfect for families and groups with kids.
The home features two living areas to suit all ages: the main lounge, complete with a leather suite, TV, stereo, pool table, and bar fridge, offers the perfect space to unwind after a day at the beach, while The Beach Room, equipped with a TV and DVD player, provides a fun retreat for kids.
The fully equipped kitchen is designed with group dining in mind and features a spacious fridge, an 8-seater dining table, and a BBQ just outside. Step onto the large patio, which offers plenty of outdoor seating, ample parking (including space for a boat), and sea breezes—making it the ideal spot for alfresco meals and relaxing evenings. With reverse-cycle air conditioning upstairs and a wall unit downstairs, climate control ensures everyone stays comfortable no matter the season.
The Sands offers bathrooms on both levels, each with separate shower, toilet, and vanity areas, with the downstairs bathroom featuring a large double shower—perfect for rinsing off sandy feet or catering to families with kids. For added convenience, the home is equipped with a full laundry, including a washing machine and an 80L basin, so cleanup is always easy.
Whether you’re here for fishing, exploring the nearby Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park, or simply soaking up the sun, The Sands has everything you need for a memorable and relaxing getaway with your group.

Great property and good value. It was so warm and the beds were great. Short walk from a cool surf coffee shop and from the beach. Some cosmetic things needed to be fixed. We had a BBQ and a camp fire. The kids loved the pool table.

Las Arenas was fabulous for our big group! There were plenty of hang out spots, the house was well set up, and the room with 10! Beds was still super spacious.

I did like the house but went to have a shower and the hot water wasn’t on so 12 of us had to go to the caravan park to have a shower as we all had been on the charter boat fishing and needed a shower straight away.Also there was a lot of dead blow flies everywhere inside especially on the stairway

Great distance to Innes national park and beaches :)
We liked the double showers downstairs to hose the kids down after the beach. Kitchen has plenty of crockery and cutlery.
The house has paper thin walls so noise travels

Not happy with oven as it was dirty. Smoke detector down stairs had no battery so it didn't work. Stains on bed covers & bed's were not comfortable. I feel this house needs some upgrades & it would be a lot better. We still enjoyed our stay. Marion Bay was awesome.

Beautiful location
We loved Marion Bay. The house was spacious but the oven was filthy and the oven door broken. The BBQ was full of fat and caught fire when we turned it on. There were no instructions provided about the water pump and we woke to find no water on the first morning. If these things were fixed up I would recommend it to everyone. The dormitory style room upstairs was a hit with the children and the pool table was very popular. We enjoyed fishing and the National Park.

Great Weekend
We had a great weekend at Las Arenas. The house is well situated in Marion Bay and we enjoyed the close proximity of the beach. Marion Bay has a great Tavern and being close to Innes was awesome as well. For a group of 6 friends, it was well set up as everyone had a double or queen size bed. This place is well equipped for groups with plenty of room and fridges for beers and food. This place has a nice outdoor setting as well that is under cover and quite private. We would stay here again.

Great
Great huge house 5 min walk from the beach
One thing to note is the second living room is in one of the bedrooms (has 3 beds in there around the couches)
The second kitchen is the table and bbq outside
Was a bit unclear in the ad. Other than that we had a really great time
