Stunning views overlooking Swan Bay - 250m to surf beach-pet friendly and fenced

Stunning views overlooking Swan Bay, Churchill Island and Bass Hills, Lazy bird's Getaway is 250m to the ocean beach, ideal for surfing or long walks – turn right out of the drive and it’s at the end of the street. Note: access to these beaches is by steps (no ramps).

Fully enclosed private garden, close to bottle shop, takeaway coffee, icecream, pizza and bus stop.

Surf Beach is the home of millions of migratory Shearwaters which nest from September to April in the sand dunes at Surf Beach - you can witness their arrival each night on dusk where the sky is filled with thousands of birds returning to their nest.

Lazybird's Getaway offers 3 x QS bedrooms, 2 x bathrooms, 2 x lounge areas, table tennis, bbq and outdoor setting on upstairs deck. Master bedroom opens onto the deck so you can absorb the view.

Bocce, monopoly, sorry, cards, backgammon are available

2 x bicycles are available to hire @ $5/day* BYO helmet. There is a bicycle path connecting Cowes to San Remo running right past the house. And if you are up to it, you can ride to Anderson and pick up the Rail Trail to Kilcunda and Wonthaggi!

Relaxing night away
We had a fun, relaxing time at lady Bird. The kids loved the table tennis and large lawn area and so did our fur baby. Surf beach is a great beach for long relaxing beach walks.

We had the best time at Lazy Birds. What a treat to stay so close to the beach, with views from the kitchen, lounge room and bedroom, we felt utterly relaxed. The house was a great size for our family of 5, and everything was so clean and comfortable. The kids were so sad to leave, we will be back!

Our Stay at Surfbeach Vic
Maxine was a great host and has a great property in Surf beach Vic. We were to check in by 3pm but got there early, Maxine kept the home ready for us at noon which was great. The property is fantastic with all amenities. I would certainly revisit this property in the future without any hesitation and would strongly recommend this property to anyone who wants to have a great time at Philip Island. Paddy.

Excellent property for an ideal holiday getaway
We had booked this property over the Easter break. We heard excellent reviews about the property and our experience has been absolutely amazing. Communicating with Maxine has been great and she has responded timely. The house is an ideal holiday getaway , great location with close access to the beach. The property is well maintained and clean and Maxine was very helpful. The late checkout was an added bonus. We had an amazing and relaxing holiday and looking forward to coming back again . Thank you Maxine for making our stay very relaxing and comfortable. Thanks Michael and family

Family getaway
Lovely 90’s style beach house with decent views, close to the main road and Smith’s Beach. Lots of space and bedrooms, almost everything you need. Needs some airing out, but otherwise was a great place to getaway with the family.

About the host

Hosted by MAXINE SANDO

Host profile image
I fell in love with Phillip Island over 30 years ago and enjoyed many weekends there staying at a family beach house, until we were able to build this property as our own holiday house. We loved it so much, we moved here full time 12 years ago. We still live in Surf Beach and now want to share this property with you to experience what Surf Beach is all about.

Why they chose this property

The best part about Surf Beach is that it's located in the middle of the island, half way between Cowes and San Remo, so you are away from the crowds and traffic. The ocean beach is my happy place for the views, sunsets, surfing, walking and of course our amazing crazybirds - short tailed shearwaters - that nest here from September to April before heading off to Siberia in the winter.

What makes this property unique

The incredible views overlooking Swan Bay and Churchill Island - the sunrises are amazing! It's a short walk to the ocean beach, and the Bottle'O, coffeee van and a pizza van and very soon, a tavern will be opening up.
