About this property

Sea At Your Doorstep - Perfect Beach Holiday

You simply can’t get closer to the beach. Virtually on your doorstep; the perfect beachfront holiday.

Situated right on the esplanade with uninterrupted views of the sea. This recently refurbished cottage is perfect for short or long term holidays.

Don’t be surprised if you spot a dolphin just a few metres away from your holiday accommodation. Your perfect view of the sunset will be simply stunning at any time of the year.

If you encounter problems booking this site, please see our other property, 'Sea By Your Side', which is in the same location and offers the same high quality and similar attributes. See - https://www.stayz.com.au/accommodation/sa/adelaide/glenelg-north/193299.

Your stay here can offer you the priceless enjoyment of the constant sound of the sea and fresh air, yet ensure that you are within easy reach of all that the City of Adelaide has to offer. The City, Festival Theatre, Casino and Convention Center are all a short 15 minute drive, or an easy 30 minute trip with the Glenelg Tram. Please be mindful that the airport is nearby - 7 km away - so you will see and hear planes coming in. Some people love this, others not so much.

The cottage is a quick beachfront walk to the sophisticated Holdfast Shores Marina and its award winning restaurants. Another few minutes and you are on historic Jetty Road, where the eating, shopping and entertainment facilities are endless. Just Google “Glenelg Beach” to see all that this destination has to offer, including a myriad of sport and beach activities. Your stay may not require a single car trip, as local attractions such as the “Temptation” swim with the dolphins, the BeachHouse amusement park & the brand new $1.3m foreshore playground are all within walking distance.

This cottage offers you a stretch of lawn at the front of your very own place. Your rear portico will store outdoor chairs and a small picnic table, where you can enjoy your wine, coffee or meal. Alternatively, throw down a picnic rug on your own lawn and just stare out at the sea, sunset and the numerous walkers who are seeking to enjoy that which you will have at your very own doorstep.

The cottage combines a clean, crisp, modern feel with the cosiness of an old cottage. The place has been fitted so that you can have a comfortable short or long term stay. It offers a fully equipped kitchen, your own laundry facilities, TV and DVD entertainment, linen and towelling – just pack your toothbrush and bathers!!.

The kitchen will easily cater to those who want affordable home cooked meals; that is, if they can resist the temptation to just walk into one of the cafes or restaurants down the road.

When you first get there, enjoy a coffee on us - just pop a coffee capsule in the machine.

Beds

The property has a queen bed in the master bedroom.
A Queen bed in the second bedroom.
Both bedrooms fitted with chirorest mattresses to ensure a comfortable holiday stay.
The living area contains a couch, which can be converted into a double mattress for sleeping an extra 2 if required.

Please note that although this apartment can sleep up to 6, it is really most comfortable for 4.

Perfect spot for a beach get away. Stayed here with my mum for a few days and it was just perfect. All the little extras made us feel special. Sunrises, beach and weather were spectacular. Can’t recommend this property enough.

Highly recommended!
This is my second time staying here, and it's still the most wonderful place! Being able to see dolphins from your window is amazing! Being able to walk across the road for a swim in the ocean is incredible! And the layout of the house is perfect! I hope to come back again some time!

It is an older property but was very clean and suited our requirements. Has everything needed for a short stay. Having the ocean across the road and with spectacular views out the windows was a highlight. There is no onsite parking however plenty of street parking

Great Location, Great Host
The host really went above and beyond to make sure the property was fully furnished and suplied with pretty much everything we needed for our stay, from the kitchen right to the bathroom. Our kids loved walking across the road to the beach everyday and watching the sunset from our living room window, the location is great...

Superb location with everything you need
A fantastic little beach pad. Very comfortable with all the little 'extras' provided including wine, chocolates, tim tams and more. Directly across the road from the beach and only a short, pleasant walk into Glenelg shops and cafes. We loved our stay here and hope to come again.

Glenelg delight
Lovely position overlooking the water and sunsets. Comfortable walking distance to restaurants, shopping and tram. Lots of lovely, welcoming extras included in the unit. A very comfortable bed and pillows. Sofie very attentive, ensuring all went well when an issue with the TV aerial required repair. We really enjoyed our week here.

Beautiful beachside cottage
If you are reading reviews to pick a place - pick this one! A gorgeous cottage with lots of welcoming amenities that Sofie set up for us, with the beach right there and a gorgeous walk we would do each day. Easy to get into the city and plenty of parking. We also left a bag behind and Sofie was very flexible to allow us to pick it up again when convenient the next day. She'd be a great host under any circumstances that arise on a holiday

Perfect spot
Visiting from Canada 🇨🇦 While staying with our son and family in Adelaide we wanted to take our grandsons on a mini school break getaway. We found this perfect little cottage in a great location for all the activities we had planned. Beautiful sunsets and walks on the beach and more. The welcome gifts were lovely and very much appreciated. This was a highlight week of our 3 month stay here in your beautiful country. Thank You for being a gracious host Sophie. Ron & Shannon

Very lovely
I have stayed in a number of Stayz properties and also have one of ours on this system, so am very familiar with how it all its together and what some of the problems can be. We needed a very short stay at very short notice. We were able to make the booking the day before arrival. Sofie & Joe had that process very seamless. The location is lovely - with full beach frontage but away a little bit from the maddening crowds. The unit is very well presented with lots and lots of attention to details. The little things that make you feel welcome. Although a short stay, a lovely stay.

We really enjoyed our stay, short stroll to Glenelg for breakfast/dinner or lunch. Watching the ocean in all it's moods was spectacular safely behind the window. Sofie really provided a comfortable place to stay with all the little added extras of snacks and wine. Thank you.

Beach break
Apart from the proximity to the airport it was ideal for what we were planning to do. There were some lovely added extras which were appreciated. A few more mugs would be good and a touch up of some painting (windowsill), I especially loved being able to walk on the beach after a miserable winter.
