Merricks Surf Cottage Charming Beachfront Bliss

Merricks Surf Cottage is a hop, skip and jump to the sandy shores of Merricks Beach. This cute-as-a-button coastal cottage is surrounded by established trees and lots of greenery, offering a picturesque, absolute beachfront location. Steeped in treasured family memories, the cottage is adorned in original details and timber accents. It offers a cosy open flow that extends to the back deck and yard where you can soak up the sun, or head back inside to snuggle up by the fire for family game night.
With direct access to Merricks Beach, this cosy cottage offers an unbeatable location to enjoy a day at the beach with the family and then come home for dinner on the BBQ and laughs around the picnic table together.

What you see is what you get, and Merricks Surf Cottage is the original beach cottage and remains deliberately so. Relaxing and tranquil without all the fuss, a functional open floor plan invites you to lounge, dine and cook inside. Cane furniture and old world charm enrich the space while a wood-burning fireplace, split-system cooling and ceiling fans keep the cottage cosy in winter and breezy come summer. Enjoy the great range of books and board games—plus a foosball table—to keep the whole group entertained.

The kitchen is basic, but comes with all the necessities for easy meal prep, including an Aldi coffee machine and plenty of cooking gear. The pantry is even stocked with some basic cooking ingredients such as seasonings and oil. Dine inside at the timber table and slide open the full-width timber doors to let the sea breezes roll in. The timber deck is a peaceful haven for balmy summer nights, offering ample seating, a BBQ, foosball table and plenty of space for the kids to run around and kick the footy.

Three bedrooms sleep eight guests, with the first offering a queen bed and a relaxing, leafy outlook. Bedroom two offers a single set of bunk beds and sofa to lounge on while reading the kids to sleep. A further two sets of bunk beds can be found in bedroom three. The compact bathroom offers a shower and floating vanity, plus separate toilet. There is also an outdoor shower with hot and cold water, perfect for de-sanding kids.

Parking is provided in the driveway, with one spot under the carport and additional street parking available.
