This cute cottage has all you could possibly want for a holiday house.

This property welcomes adults and children.
There is a spacious back deck for afternoon drinks.
The high set cottage has air conditioning but you'll rarely need it with the flow through sea breeze it gets most days.
The pet friendly cottage is fully fenced so bring the dog.(Pets are only allowed inside the house if they are house trained.)
We allow a maximum of 2 pets.
We do charge a pet fee of $50 per pet per stay.

Things to do

If you like shopping Sunshine Plaza(the biggest shopping centre on the coast.) is a 10 min walk away.
For night life Ocean St is 15 min walk. It has great restaurants and bars you can dance the night away in.
The usual attractions Australia Zoo, Underwater world and Aussie world are a short drive away.
There are great beaches from Maroochydore south all the way to Caloundra. Or North from Maroochydore all the way to Noosa.

Great place to stay. Walking distance to water and the big shopping Centre. Yard was great for our 2 dogs.The back verandah was great for a get together with family.Only thing would be good if backyard was closed off on each side so you could keep the dogs in one spot.
