About this house rental
Set high on a large garden block, this spacious Sorrento beach house enjoys beautiful views north across Sorrento and south over the coastal dunes and national park. With five bedrooms, two generous living areas, two large balconies and extensive gardens, there is plenty of space for families and groups to relax and enjoy a classic Mornington Peninsula getaway.
Best of all, Diamond Bay is only around 300 metres from the house. Leave the car behind and walk to one of Sorrento’s most beautiful ocean beaches in just a few minutes.
From Diamond Bay, explore the spectacular coastal trails through the dunes towards Sorrento or along the ocean coastline towards Blairgowrie. Nearby St Pauls Lookout is another favourite, with magnificent 360-degree views across the Peninsula.
Sorrento village is also within easy reach. Walk into town through the national park, head out for morning coffee at Koonya General Store or St Paul’s Road General Store, or take a short drive to Sorrento’s shops, cafés and restaurants. The calm waters and sandy beaches of Port Phillip Bay are also only minutes away.
The house
Recently renovated and designed for relaxed family holidays, the house has two large open-plan living areas, one upstairs and one downstairs, allowing adults and children – or two families holidaying together – to have their own space.
The main living area opens onto a wrap-around deck and protected courtyard with a gas BBQ, perfect for long summer lunches and relaxed evenings.
There are two large upstairs balconies, taking advantage of the elevated position and views in both directions. In the cooler months, the fireplace and wood heater make the house equally inviting for a winter Peninsula escape.
Reverse-cycle air conditioning is provided in both main living areas.
