About this house rental
The Sea Shells Beach House is located walking distance from the beach, the Cheeky Cow Cafe and the Ocean Grove Hotel Bistro. The beach is 400 meters away at the end of the street. Dawn Cafe has outside tables with water bowls for your furry friend and excellent coffee. A lot of customers comment on how great the cafe is. The Ocean Grove Hotel is also walking distance and includes a family bistro with large outside area which is great for summer.
The house is a very comfortable 3 bedroom home that sleeps 8 people (maximum 6 adults or a combination of adults and children making up 8 people). The house includes an undercover outdoor entertaining area with a full size BBQ, a spa bath in the bathroom and a wood fired heater for those cold wintery nights. A reverse cycle air conditioner is great for the warmer weather, and heats in the winter. The queen bedrooms are fitted with ceiling fans above the beds.
Free unlimited internet access with Fetch TV and Netflix(in main bedroom as well as in lounge room). The lounge room includes 3 comfortable leather couches, a large flat screen LED TV, Blu Ray/DVD player and an mp3 compatible stereo. One Queen bedroom also includes a large smart TV and Blu Ray player so the kids can watch DVD's in the bedroom while the adults relax in front of the fire. The fully equipped kitchen is a very generous size and includes a dishwasher.
The property has undercover parking and a very secure yard for children or pets. The front of the property has a high fence with gates, so children or pets are able to safely roam right around the property. For the kids there are toys and books in the bunk room, and in the backyard there is a good quality swing set, and wooden cubby house set up with table and chairs and a play kitchen. For those with babies there is a porta cot, quilt for play time on the floor, a bouncer, a baby bath and a change mat.
Ocean Grove shops (including shoes, homewares and ladies fashion shops) cafes, large supermarkets and the main patrolled beach are a short drive away. For those who enjoy a hit of golf, there are 7 quality courses within half an hours drive.
Apologies but we do not accommodate schoolies groups.
Sleeping Arrangements
All three bedrooms are very large and have plenty of room for suitcases and other items such as toys or porta cots. There are two Queen bedrooms and one large bunk bedroom with two bunk beds (bunk room sleeps 4). All bedrooms include oil fin heaters for the chilly nights, and fans for the warmer nights.
Beds are supplied with a mattress protector, uncovered doona's, protected uncovered pillows and an extra blanket. You can choose to bring your own sheets, doona covers and pillow cases, or we can make up the beds with our linen for $50 per QB and $30 per SB.

Loved this place! The photos make it appear like it’s really outdated but, honestly, do not care about having a space that looks like it could be in a catalogue. The home is well taken care of, clean and so comfortable that we didn’t want to leave. We had everything we needed and more. The best holiday I have had in a very long time and prepared me for the return to the school term! Thank you for letting us into your space!

We had a great weekend. Very close to the beach.

This is our new favourite place to get away from it all! Absolutely perfect for our Rusty, with plenty of room in the spacious (and totally secure) garden for him to enjoy his favourite ball play. He gives it 5 paws! Watching Netflix by an open fire is a real treat for us city folk, and the fully equipped kitchen/dining setup was so good, we invited a couple of local friends over for a home cooked meal. Very nice to have dog-friendly accommodation of such a high standard. We'll be back!

The property was clean, huge living spaces, great outdoor area and pretty gardens.

Would stay again in a heartbeat. Absolutely loved our stay 😊😊

We loved our stay at Sea Shells Beach House. Location was great and the house comfortable. Communication with Fiona was clear and easy. Would definitely book again.

A very comfortable and functional holiday house with a lovely garden. An easy walk to the beach and local cafe. We headed to the Portarlington market on the Sunday and to Barwon Heads on the Monday; We took our two small dogs to the beach everyday, my 15 month dog enjoyed her first paddle in the ocean and frolicking on the beach.

Fiona's place was exactly as it said; a short walk to the beach and cafe with great coffee. The high chair, change mat and cutlery made it feel like a home away from home, and so much easier with our 10 month old. The fact our 12 year old Beaglier could join us made this place one of our favourites.
4.8
What a wonderful place to stay at! Great and quiet location, just walking distance to the beach, even for the oldies at 75+ and over. The houses had everything you needed, even more. Modern appliances, great Wifi, clean and beautiful inside and out. We will certainly be back.
Thanks heaps for your hospitality, Fiona and Tim.

The property was perfect for our needs, especially a secure yard for our dog, and it was easy to spend 2 days there, and appreciated that there was no owner clutter inside. The dog did bark at a few people and dogs going past the gate. we were surprised that the OG pub would not allow dogs on leash in the quiet beer garden for dinner. Local beach is great. Was surprised that signage said dogs on leash for many metres either side on stairs, but this was not local practice , nor was it enforced. The property photos on line looked brighter/smarter than the property. But it was OK. Liked the deck. The bath mat was hanging in laundry, and was very wet. so we went and purchased a bath mat. should have brought our own. Enjoyed the ever present bird song.

I would happily recommend, we had a lovely stay.
The house was as expected and the hot-tub was a big hit with the teenagers.
Our 2 Labradors felt very at home & I felt very reassured with the secure and fully fenced front and back yards.
The beach was just a short walk away making the location ideal.

Spacious house with everything you could want. Good size bedrooms. Great, secure backyard for pets and children. Would stay again

Great house Private and good for a dog. It was also a good walking distance to the beach. The cafe opposite beach had very good coffee and lunches.
You need to drive to main Ocean Grove shopping centre for food supplies.

Close to the beach, Ocean Grove Hotel just 50 meters up the road. A quick drive into the town, or you can walk. It was a great little spot, our fur babies loved the beach, and they had a secure backyard. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and would go there again. If I had to say anything negative, it would be, it could of been handed over a little cleaner

The property is great second year we have stayed. Made suggestions to the owner on cleanliness was not as good as last year and a few other things that need to be addressed was obliging

We have stayed at this property several times now and have always had an enjoyable and relaxing time. In the past the property has always been very well presented but this time unfortunately cleanliness of the house was not great and the bed in the main bedroom was almost broken, It was just lucky only one person was sleeping in it .

Beautiful house located just a short beach from Ocean Grove’s pristine beach - and a short drive from the beachside villages of Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff. Lots of room and beautiful garden made for a nice relaxing holiday for all including our furry friend.

Thankyou Fiona for letting us stay.

My partner and I (and our Golden Retriever) had a lovely stay. Felt like a Home away from home - right near Ocean Beach - you could actually hear the Waves at night.. The Stars & Vibe of Surroundings were Special too.. ✨
This exceptionally Spacious & Homely Holiday House has everything provided, for a relaxing Holiday Getaway.
The tranquil Gardens are fully Gated, with a Separately Gated Backyard for your Furry Friend/s.. So you can rest assured that your Doggo &/or Kiddo's will be safe!
Affordable, Dog Friendly Accommodation can be hard to find so close to the Beautiful Bellarine Ocean Beaches... 😊
Everything was nearby; with a Magical Dog Friendly, Ocean Beach (which seemed to change every day, due to Tides & Light) an easy walk away... 'tis a Stunning Beach Location!
Our Goldie loved sitting on the Back Porch, wandering around the Gardens & Walking down to the Beach. She's a Mature, Big Dog, but had no issues accessing Beach nearby. Plus, she happily used the Ramp & Steps to access the Front & Back Yard!
My partner loved the Speedy Internet Connection, 'adult friendly' Swing Set (lol) & BBQ Area.. I loved the Spa, Heaters, Cooking in a lovely Kitchen, and watching Netflix/ Catch Up TV on the Smart TV's.
Internet and Self Check in was Flawless..
Communication with Host Fiona was Excellent. She went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and happy..
We highly recommend this Holiday House, and hope to return again in the future. Thanks you, Fiona; We had the bestest Holiday... And, Woof from Bronte, our Golden Retriever 🐶.. 10/10...

Nice to be able to walk to the beach each day. Ate twice at the Ocean Grove Hotel which was a short walk away. House was roomy and had all the basics you need. Great that we could watch Netflix too. Our dogs were safe in the yard and our car secure in the carport. Would stay again. Thank you.
