    There is a right of way (60m) directly to the beautiful all-tide beach(s) which overlooks Edgecumbe Bay to the west.

    You can walk the sandy beaches for miles or if you have a boat explore the river systems, (where you can put in your crab pots) visit the islands or visit Cape Gloucester or Montes resorts.

    In the evening watch to sunset from the beach or sit around a wood fire at night,
    In the morning you will hear the many birds who visit the property.

    The location surpasses many of the Whitsunday mainland and Island beach destinations.

    The roomy self-contained house is fully equipped, with crockery, cutlery, utensils pots, frying pan etc. NOTE BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS, PILLOW CASES, TOWELS. AND BATH MATS. Coverlets provided.

    Access to Sunset Beach is through private entry gate at the end of Cape Gloucester Ave. At the next locked gate there is a key for the 2nd gate in a lockbox. Stay on the road until you reach Sunset Beach.

    The road is suitable for all vehicles although after heavy rain may become slippery or soft in places.

    Boats can be launched from the beach with 4 wheel drive.

    There are two resorts, Montes and Cape Gloucester just a short drive or a short ride in your boat where you can enjoy resort-style refreshments and meals.
    The nearest shop is Dingo Beach. About 5 km. Nearest towns, Proserpine or Airlie Beach approx 50km.

Stunning location

We had a wonderful vacation, the accommodation was neat, tidy and clean. It was self-contained with enough options available to easily manage 8 nights of living in paradise virtually off the grid. Caught some great fish, the sunsets were stunning and it was by far the best break I have had from work in years. We will definitely be back!

Beware, what you read is not what you get. Cottage is grubby, no linen supplied, host told us it was Stayz responsibility to tell us. His site says "fully equipped". When we asked where the linen was he said there is some for emergencies (clearly happens often) - all mismatched and stained! Had to drive to AIrlie to buy linen and drinking water next day. Informed at check in via email that the washing machine wasn't working. The water turns everything red, you cannot drink it The drains and septic system smell. Electrical connections held together by duck tape. Fire extinguisher last check 2020. TV remote has no back on it , so you have to hold the batteries in if you want it to work. We used our kitchen utensils from our picnic bag as all kitchen utensils need a good wash. No dishwasher. Accessing the property for the first time through a second locked gate must be done during daylight as you will not find the lockbox, which you first have to climb through a gate to access it from the inside. Cobwebs, mould and cockroaches. Good points, the woodfire and the location. No matter the price, the site should say it as it is.

Third time at this property the owners have been steadily improving the facilities, however the guests don’t seam to look after things as they should. Location is paradise if you want away from the world to relax and a dream spot for beach and boat fishing. Proud to leave the property better than we found it. Will be back again

What a place to relax!

Minimum seven nights stay actually was a bonus as it forced us to have to stay longer than our usual 3 nights. I can honestly say it’s the first time I have truly relaxed and unwinded in a long time. Seclusion and peacefulness. Beautiful beach. We also were able to bring our two dogs who also loved their holiday. This place is value plus for money. We will definitely be back.

Awesome Location

The location is truly awesome although the cabin is not beach front which we did not realise from the marketing. We also thought we were in the Sinclair Bay Resort by the way it was worded, which is beach front in the next bay around. All that aside, it was a great week on a beautiful beach, with amazing fishing, crabbing, beach walks, sunsets, etc. Boat launching is via beach/rocks is tidal & definitely not for amateurs which we witnessed with our neighbours bogging their 4WD to the axles & needing to be towed out. We didn't have any problems after deflating tyres & low 4WD. Cabin could have done with a deep clean, especially before Xmas, but we left it cleaner than how we got it, so hopefully the next people enjoyed that. Also some of the plumbing needs upgrading/fixing with grey water overflowing causing a bit of a smell while sitting in outdoor area around BBQ. All up, for the money, really good fishing holiday & awesome location.

Although this house is set back from the beach we found it to be a wonderful holiday. Almost new kitchen and bathroom and comfy beds. Short walk to the beach but good exercise. Caught 29 different species of fish so really is a fisherman’s retreat. Loved it and will be back next year
