About this property

Almost on the beachfront - 4 houses away - you can hear the waves.

Some holiday houses are great for dogs but horrible for their owners or the other way around. Life's A Beach is truly dog and human friendly and is only a short and quiet walk to the beach. It is scrupulously clean with a well-equipped kitchen, good linen and a great big back yard, that can be enjoyed by humans and dogs alike. It's securely fenced so there's no danger your doggy pal will escape. The best bit is that it's located only 4 doors from Culburra's main beach, facing a bush reserve in a quiet cul-de-sac.

It's the small details that make staying at Life's A Beach a treat. Although a traditional fibro weekender, it is fully insulated - floors, walls and ceiling! We also provide a good collection of useful kitchen essentials as well as dog beds and toys for your hound. And of course, nothing beats the wood stove in the colder months!

Sleeps 8 people: two double beds, one triple bunk bed and one trundle bed. The double beds are in a room each and the bunk beds and trundle are in the third bedroom.

The cottage has 3 showers, 3 toilets, 2 baths.

Excellent location to the beach and a short drive to all shops etc.

We had a fantastic stay here and wished we could stayed longer. Easy access to the beach and our little dog had the best time in the huge backyard also. It was clean and we loved the 50’s retro feel. Would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect weekender

We have had an absolutely amazing time here. The family don’t want to leave - wish we could stay forever. It is about 60 seconds to the beach, the outdoor shower is perfect in return for all including the furry family member. The house is so welcoming and toasty warm. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

"Life's a Beach"

A fabulous retro-style cottage with all the comforts of home, and colourful fun deco. Perfect location. Walking distance to the beach, and close to the boat ramp. Short drive to the shops, Bowling Club and skate park. We had a very enjoyable, relaxing family holiday that we didn't want to end, and would highly recommend this property for a relaxing getaway!

Winderful long weekend

What a wonderful find for the long weekend. A retro treat of a property that thought about many aspects to help make our stay more comfortable. The house and surrounds were very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and some really thoughtful pantry additions which helped make meal prep easy. Great access to beach. Loved the atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Relaxing beach side stay

We loved staying here. It really felt like an Australian beach holiday. We loved the retro vibe, the property was clean and had everything you could need in a home away from home. We really enjoyed our relaxed time and hope to visit again.

Great winter getaway

A wonderfully charming retro house. Felt like we were ‘coming home’. Large home but kept cosy with the wood burning fire. Wonderful outdoor secure space for the dogs. Moments to the beach, it was a truly relaxing short winter escape. Can’t wait to visit when it is warmer to take advantage of all the outdoor facilities at the property.

Great retro, house near the beach

We had a great stay at the house. It's retro, but not old, clean and has a great backyard for dogs. It's really close to the beach too which is very convenient. Overall, a great place!

Perfect, comfortable and pet friendly

We really enjoyed our stay - as did the pups. The bed and linen are super comfortable. The kitchen is easy to cook in, with the bbq for salad and steak nights. Proximity to the beach is spot on. Fences are secure, and the dogs loved watching the street through the gate. We’ve stayed before and will stay again.

I wanted to stay forever

Life’s a beach is perfect, it has something for everyone. The house was amazing, we were so comfortable and really enjoyed the fire and board games in the chilly evenings. The yard is perfect for the fur babies and everyone loved the beautiful dog friendly beach at the end of the road. The area offeres good places for breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed exploring the local antique shops and surrounding beaches. One of the best beaches houses I’ve stayed in that caters to the whole family, I can’t wait to visit again.

The pawfect retro-inspired beach house for all the family.

This is truly the perfect beach house for all family members. Excellent location and secure backyard for the dogs (ours haven’t been so energetic in ages) and kids. Just the right amount of communal & private spaces. Loved the retro furnishings, and the log heater which welcomed us on a very cold and windy winters night. Thanks for sharing this “home” with us, we can’t wait to return.
