Spacious, relaxing and inviting

It was a pleasure to experience this holiday home. With an open floor plan you can stay close to everyone in the house and views do not dissapoint. We cooked every meal in house as cooking on the inside teppanyaki was a blast. We would love to return to this property one day

Home away from Home

We have stayed at many stayz’s places and this deserves a award for the best. This place had everything you could think off. The master Chef kitchen has every appliance you could ever need. Sandra is a super Host that’s for sure. She has thought of everything. Do yourself a favour and stay at this beautiful place. Sandra was very efficient with replying and helping with any concerns straight away. Luxurious towels, toiletries, Nespresso machine,, plus everything for the kids. DVDs, games, plastic plates and cups m welcome wine. Plus having a early check in and late check out made it so much easier with the young children.

Shoal Bay adventure xo

From the minute you drive to the location till the time u leave it was worth it all ! The property and the attention to detail inside the property was on point! The owner made you feel like you are at home! From the range of reading books to the board games she has! And the DVD player which I hadn’t seen in a long time lol ! This made my kids intrigued as to what it was lol And having my family with me nobody felt uncomfortable everyone had a space to chill and something to do! My 11 year old son even wanted to cook for us! Which is something he doesn’t usually do! Overall this place was definitely a dream and you definitely felt like you had the beach vibe happening! And the best part it was only say a less then 5 minute walk to the beach and to the local shops! It’s definitely a place me and my family would love to stay again at! Thank you for listing this property!

Lovely week in Shoal Bay with the family

This house was perfect for our week away with two small kids (9 months and 3). The kitchen was one of the best equipped we have ever seen in a holiday rental. Sandra was a great host and even sent some little shoes home that were found after we left!

Shoal Bay Relaxation

Sandra's home at Shoal Bay was one of the best places we have ever stayed in. The location is perfect - elevated with district views and a 5 minute walk to the beach and town. The home has everything you would need and more - the kitchen has every utensil and appliance needed and more. We loved using the teppanyaki plate - made cooking dinner easy and entertaining. All the bedrooms are bright and airy and the bathrooms are modern and clean. I would not hesitate to recommend staying at Lazy Dayz - the house is perfect and Shoal Bay has so many activities for every age group. Would come back in a heartbeat!!

Great holiday house!!

We loved our stay at Lazy Dayz holiday house, this feels like a proper beach holiday house, the verandahs, glass doors and trees give it a nice bright leafy feel, the main bedroom is generous in size, all beds are super comfy and we loved cooking our breakfast on the teppanyaki hot plate. The location in Shoal Bay is spot on close to the bay and country club. Sandra the host is a lovely lady who we hardly seen. Would definitely stay there again.

Weekend family getaway to celebrate a family member's birthday

The house was exceptionally clean, beautifully furnished and had everything that was needed to ensure our stay was enjoyed to the fullest. The owner was in contact with us beforehand to give full and clear instructions as to access to the property, check in times, check out times etc and made herself available to help us if we needed (although this was not necessary!). She was also able to recommend restaurants and cafes to us. We would totally recommend this property with its ideal quiet location 10 minutes walk to beach and cafes, bars and restaurants

Great weekend - 2 young families

Immaculate. Plenty of space. Super comfortable. Very relaxing. Excellent position in the area. Rained for our stay and it was easy to stay in and put our feet up - a home away from home. Plan on staying again in warmer weather to explore the area some more. Sandra is easy and wonderful to communicate with.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Miles

Host profile image
i was born and raised in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.
I spent 25 years of married life in Vaucluse. I sold real estate in Double Bay for 20 years and came to Shoal Bay for holidays. I moved here permanently in 2002, and became carer at home here for 10 years for my elderly mother who lived until 8 weeks off 102 yrs of age...
I have 4 children and 7 grandchildren from 24 to 6 years old.......
I love travelling and spent 3 months overseas in 2018.....7 weeks circumnavigating South America on the Queen Victoria cruise ship after skiing in Canada with the grandchildren .
Covid however put a temporary stop to that.....
I am 81 and have Parkinsons but still walk a lot and play golf , Occasionally I stay in a private area downstairs but very seldom meet the guests respecting your privacy at all times.........

Why they chose this property

I used to come up for holidays and weekends with friends and fell in love with the area.
Decided to buy a holiday house and the first day I looked I fell in love with the original little cottage and particularly where it was just a walk up the hill from the bay, shops and cafes
I bought it that afternoon and have spent the last 30 years doubling the size of the house.
I have built a gazebo in the garden which has a large table that seats 8...... and replaced the balcony folding doors with sliding stackers....This year the outside blinds were replaced..

What makes this property unique

Situated on a quiet street just a short walk down to the beach shops and cafes......I just love it’s indoor outdoor feel with balconies on either side overlooking the park on one side and the hills on the other...Follow the flow of the day from the sun shining into the bedrooms on the east and then after a fun filled day to watch the sunsets with a glass of wine is just magic
It’s a very easy casual house with great cooking facilities, 2 ovens, a gas and electric, 6 gas hot plates plus a large teppanyaki hotplate with a family Webber on the balcony......
With 3 balconies you can always find a little 'me' time away from all the activities......
