Rustic charm
For travelers seeking a homey escape with stunning views, this quaint beach house in Lakes Entrance is a lovely option. Perched in an ideal spot, it offers some of the best panoramic views in the area—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or soaking in a serene sunset.
The house itself is clean, functional, and cozy, with a charm that makes it feel more like a home than just a holiday rental. With proper bedrooms, a comfy lounge, a full-sized fridge, and laundry facilities, it provides the comfort and practicality you won’t find in a hotel or resort. It’s perfect for families or anyone who prefers a self-contained space where you can cook, relax, and settle in.
While the house exudes rustic charm, it’s clear that some updates and maintenance are a work in progress. The bathroom has been refreshed, and the bedrooms have a fresh coat of paint. However, some issues remain, like water stains on the ceiling in one bedroom and peeling paint in the hallway. These quirks add to the property’s “lived-in” character but may not appeal to everyone.
A few functional areas also need attention. The outdoor BBQs are rusted and unsafe to use, the air fryer doesn’t work, and hand towels for the toilet are missing. Some basic kitchen essentials, like steak knives, would be a welcome addition, and while there’s a handy trolley for laundry, a proper laundry basket would make the experience more convenient.
