Property information

Welcome to Shellies On The Beach, where the spirit of old-school beach houses blends with funky Bali inspired Bohemian flair to create a one-of-a-kind holiday experience. This is a rustic and character-filled older style home — full of charm, quirks, and personality — perfect for those who love a unique beach house experience in a pristine location thats a thowback to beach holidays of old rather than modern sterile accommodation. If your looking for modern and spotless, this is probably not for you, if you like character, charm, quirks, uniqueness and location then this is right up your alley. This property captures the essence of coastal living with its prime beachfront location, offering uninterrupted access to the sandy shores through a private pathway from your backyard, through the dunes and onto the beach. You can't get closer to the beach than this without being in the water at high tide. The house features three tastefully decorated bedrooms: the master bedroom boasts a queen bed and opens up to a private courtyard, creating an intimate escape. The second and third bedrooms are thoughtfully appointed to maximize comfort, one with two singles and the other a combination of a queen and a single bed, making it perfect for families or groups. The interior is complemented by a full kitchen equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave, ensuring all your culinary needs are met. The living room, adorned with a cozy fireplace, opens up to an expansive outdoor entertaining area. Here, you can enjoy the Bohemian charm of the backyard, complete with a fire pit for cooler evenings and a Bali hut for relaxing under the sun. This property offers a very unique and interesting layout with a music inspired entertaining space with daybed off the dining room, with piano and guitars provided. The upstairs bedroom with single beds also includes a lounge with TV and small bar. The upstairs 2 way bathroom is accessed through the queen bedrooms.

Need-to-know information for guests at this property

Once your booking is confirmed, you will be directed to our guest portal. Prior to check-in, you will be required to complete an identity check by scanning your licence/passport and credit card before being provided with your arrival instructions. This provides security for the owners of the property so they are comfortable that you are who you say you are and you have the documents to prove it (similar to a hotel check-in procedure). We do not charge your card, nor does it get stored by our system, and you are welcome to block out some numbers, but please note that our guest portal has the highest level of PCI compliance available. This process is necessary due to the fact that we have a self-check-in system.

Guests are required to show a photo identification and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.

This property will not accommodate hen, stag or similar parties.

Guests will receive a rental agreement which must be signed and returned to the property prior to arrival. If guests do not receive the agreement on time, they should contact the property management company at the number on the booking confirmation.
