Absolute Beachfront Retreat on The Esplanade

Summary:
Situated on The Esplanade with direct Whites Beach access, this two-storey abode offers an idyllic escape in a prime beachfront location. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the ocean, with views of the coastal reserve and sea glimpses perfectly framed by the home’s elegant design. 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms will cater for the family, and open plan living, kitchen and dining flows to the sundeck. A private terrace in the secure gated backyard caters to outdoor dining and sun lounging.

The Space:

A well-behaved pet is welcome by approval at the time of booking, subject to House Rules and a $50 pet fee.

Ascend to the top level where the home’s design centres around the open plan kitchen, dining, and living area with a Smart TV*, leading out to a spacious deck.
