4BR Coastal House with Heated Pool, Bay Views and Games Room

Wake to soft morning light over Corio Bay at Sandpiper House — an architect-designed, light-filled coastal retreat with a private heated pool, beautiful bay views, and generous spaces designed for families and friends to relax and reconnect. Guests consistently comment on how immaculately presented and welcoming the home feels, and how quickly they settle in and feel at ease.

Spend long afternoons by the pool, enjoy sunset drinks on the balcony, and gather across thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor living zones that invite you to slow down and unwind together. Sandpiper House is more than a holiday home — it’s a place guests describe as effortless, relaxing, and hard to leave.

The Home

Sandpiper House is a spacious, architect-designed four-bedroom home accommodating up to 10 guests, ideal for families, multi-generational stays, wedding guests, and groups of friends seeking space, comfort, and privacy.

Every detail has been carefully considered so groups can travel light and settle in easily — from Dyson hairdryers, plush robes and generous bath sheets to a fully equipped kitchen and comfort extras throughout the home. Guests often remark that “everything has been thought of” and that the home offers the ease of a five-star hotel with the warmth and flexibility of a private residence. Multiple living zones allow guests of all ages to spread out or come together as they choose.

The final touches

A lot of places you look at might have everything listed here but not in the same way.The art, appliances, furniture and rooms are all individualised and luxurious. Being greeted with a mural of rosellas on the outside wall, the reclaimed timber decking and built in speakers for both downstairs and upstairs are executive in a way that can't be expressed.Communication with Karen was perfect and well timed. It felt as if-if there was any issues she would help us out, thankfully there were none, She was a perfect host.This house has all those great final touches that make it really hard to leave when you're on holiday and for that im giving it 5 stars.

Made for a relaxing weekend!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. It was well laid out with enough space for all of us. We walked in to freshly made granola (yum) and bread. The hosts Karen and Cameron were amazing, even so that during our stay there was a big storm where power was cut to the area (at no fault of the house) and upon advising Karen, they were over with candles and torches within the hour which we thought was so lovely.Further to this, they provide a lot of things that you wouldnt even think of that we used during our stay, it was so nice.Their intentions are clearly for us to have a relaxing time, and we did. The amentities were great, we used the bbq, the arcase game was awesome and the pool was the highlight!!We even were able to bring our dog which we love so much, and I had confort knowing the backyard is secure and dog friendly. They even had bowls, pet bed and toys to use! Thanks again for having us. We highly recommend.
