Evan's Retreat, 5 Sandy Point Road - cottage across the road from Sandy Point Beach
Welcome to Evan's Retreat, a homely sanctuary nestled in the charming locale of Corlette, just a stone's throw away from the alluring Sandy Point Beach.
This delightful original house serves as a perfect refuge for up to 6 guests, with its spacious, single-level layout featuring three snug bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Experience the sweet harmony of comfort and utility as you navigate through this cosy cottage. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare a delectable meal, while the reverse cycle, split system air conditioning ensures the temperature inside is always just right. Outdoors, you'll discover a quaint garden and a child-friendly yard that's perfect for an afternoon of family fun.
Across the road, you can view vibrant sunrises or take long tranquil walks on Sandy Point Beach. There's also a playground nearby for little ones to enjoy. For adventure lovers, the advantage of additional boat parking for a small vessel allows for convenient launching to explore the nearby waterfront.
Of course, in between beach trips, you can catch your favourite series on the Television, enjoy a classic movie via our DVD player, or get lost in melodic tunes from the CD player. The laundry facilities with washer and dryer ensure your beach towels would always be fresh and sandy-free for your beach adventures.

Good location
Close by to lovely beaches and walking paths. Plenty of space for family living. The budget price was attractive and comes with an old style house that has seen better days but is mostly comfortable for budget accommodation.
We loved walking across the road to the beach. While the house was spacious, it needed considerable maintenance, especially curtaining in the main bedroom facing the street. Broken venetians don't give much privacy. It really didn't detract from a great stay.
Interior clean, exterior very poor, toilet very low for aged or disabled people, with no handrail for assistance.. Shower rose drips continually in shower and no support handrail..
Photos of advert imply dwelling directly across road from the waterfront, shows 2 TVs ,1 only and only local free to air channels. In short a very aged property and over priced.
Place smelled damp, mouldy and dusty. Furniture and Kitchen appliances are from second hand st vinnies. Rusted, stained,dirty. Dust and mould on walls, windows and Curtains.
Don't bother cooking, kitchen utensils are eather broken or dirty, Rusted.
Had to call the agency to complain only to be told its the cheapest in the are. For the money i paid the owner could at least get new kitchen appliances and furniture.
Won't be back.
Have stayed twice in this house now, was disappointed there was no bbq needs more pegs for the clothes line pretty good home for the money could do with new carpet.

Lovely and cozy
Very well equipped and it was nice and tidy. The location was excellent, just a couple minutes drive to the marina and a minutes walk to the beach. The house was cozy and felt like a real home :)

Don’t judge a book by its cover
9/10 for our stay. House was a good size with ample room for 2 adults and 2 kids and the house had absolutely everything you needed if you had forgotten to bring something. Very close walk to the Bay across the road, with a small park for the kids which was handy. Very affordable pricing for our 10 day stay and was comfortable. So overall very happy and would stay there again. Beautiful place and it was a great holiday.

Just like nannas house.
Old house but comfy. Great location. Affordable. Cleaners need to wash the mattress protectors as they looked old and a tad shabby. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would return for another stay.
