Architectural Design on the Beach
Wow, what breathtaking views! This roomy, well appointed 2 storey home is just a few steps from Jimmy's beach, which is perfect for early morning swims or afternoon beach exploring and the views across the bay are spectacular, especially at sunset. The Myall River is a 3 minute walk, and Bennett's beach (patrolled during summer) is 15' walk away.
The main living area and bedrooms are upstairs and have been designed to capture both the incredible views, but also to take advantage of sea breezes through the extensive use of sliding doors and windows. The dining area opens onto two decks, one is perfect for eating outside in summer and the other for BBQing. The kitchen is well appointed and the living area includes a large, smart TV. Wi-Fi is high speed.
The main bedroom has beautiful bay views, sliding doors to the private balcony, a quiet ceiling fan and a queen size bed. The second bedroom has a bunk with 2 king single beds, and the third bedroom has two single beds, which can be pushed together, a ceiling fan and faces toward the river. Upstairs there is a bathroom (shower and bath) with a separate toilet. There is a fourth bedroom downstairs with a queen bed, which has a doorway to the back garden, as well as a shower/toilet and laundry.
There is garaging for two cars, plus boat parking on the driveway.
The beach is beautiful, and most days dolphins can be spotted. It's the perfect place for a break, whether active or laid-back.

We had a brilliant week at 77 The Boulevard - the proximity to the beach and wrap around view make it the perfect place for young families needing to get quickly to and from the beach. It was so refreshing to have such a great kitchen and quality beds compared to other vacation rentals! Couldn’t fault it and already securing dates to book again

Top location but that’s it
House was very over priced
“Architect Design” is a comment used on over the top Propertys, unfortunately this house wasn’t that.
Poor lighting in most rooms including upstairs bathroom which was a hazard at times (luckily we used phone lights haha)
No linen, towels or toilet paper provided considering we paid $700/night you expect these items to be provided.
Also had to deal with owners postage that was delivered to our property whilst our stay. (Noted “leave on property no signature required”)
Overall the views were amazing and area very beach like and quite.
House was a let down for the price we paid.
basic ,everything there accommodation. Two separate bedroom areas
cross the road and straight onto the beach. Close to convenience shop.
Available undercover carspaces,stairs would be a stuggle for elderly guests.
