Evan's Retreat, 5 Sandy Point Road - cottage across the road from Sandy Point Beach

Welcome to Evan's Retreat, a homely sanctuary nestled in the charming locale of Corlette, just a stone's throw away from the alluring Sandy Point Beach.

This delightful original house serves as a perfect refuge for up to 6 guests, with its spacious, single-level layout featuring three snug bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Experience the sweet harmony of comfort and utility as you navigate through this cosy cottage. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare a delectable meal, while the reverse cycle, split system air conditioning ensures the temperature inside is always just right. Outdoors, you'll discover a quaint garden and a child-friendly yard that's perfect for an afternoon of family fun.

Across the road, you can view vibrant sunrises or take long tranquil walks on Sandy Point Beach. There's also a playground nearby for little ones to enjoy. For adventure lovers, the advantage of additional boat parking for a small vessel allows for convenient launching to explore the nearby waterfront.

Of course, in between beach trips, you can catch your favourite series on the Television, enjoy a classic movie via our DVD player, or get lost in melodic tunes from the CD player. The laundry facilities with washer and dryer ensure your beach towels would always be fresh and sandy-free for your beach adventures.

At Evan's Retreat, we not only adore visitors but also long-term renters who would love to experience more of the bewitching allure of Corlette. Located a quick 5-minute drive into the heart of Nelson Bay and 7 minutes to Salamander Shopping Square. Evan's Retreat will charm its way into becoming your new home away from home with the original beach cottage feel, fixtures and design.

Dissapointed
Interior clean, exterior very poor, toilet very low for aged or disabled people, with no handrail for assistance.. Shower rose drips continually in shower and no support handrail.. Photos of advert imply dwelling directly across road from the waterfront, shows 2 TVs ,1 only and only local free to air channels. In short a very aged property and over priced.

Great location, spacious old house.
We loved walking across the road to the beach. While the house was spacious, it needed considerable maintenance, especially curtaining in the main bedroom facing the street. Broken venetians don't give much privacy. It really didn't detract from a great stay.
