Good to know

Step inside to find a beautifully designed space that caters to all seasons. Cozy winter nights are best spent in front of the roaring open fireplace, creating a snug ambience for movie marathons and quiet evenings. For the warmer months, the second living area flows effortlessly onto a shaded outdoor patio, where balmy afternoons can be enjoyed with a sizzling barbecue and refreshing sea breeze. The home is thoughtfully set up for comfort and convenience. The master bedroom provides a private retreat with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the additional two bedrooms in a separate wing ensure guests or children have their own space. The second bathroom adds extra ease for families and groups. Perfectly positioned, The Dolphin House allows guests to take a stroll along the scenic Tyrone foreshore to the vibrant cafes of Blairgowrie Village, while Rye town centre is just a short drive away for shopping, dining, and exploring the Mornington Peninsula’s coastal gems. The home features two spacious living areas, gas heating, split system cooling, and a fully equipped kitchen with essential appliances, including an oven, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, and kettle. For entertainment, enjoy the Smart TV, Wi-Fi, a collection of books and games, and a dedicated study desk for those needing a quiet workspace. The outdoor area includes a BBQ, dining setup, and an outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after a beach day. Practical amenities such as a washing machine, dryer, iron, ironing board, and secure parking to ensure a stress-free stay. With home-style comforts, a relaxed coastal vibe, and an unbeatable location, The Dolphin House offers the perfect escape for families, couples, and friends looking to unwind by the beach. The house is in a residential street with surrounding permanent tenants, so we only rent to mature guests who will remain respectful to our neighbours. The house will be used for relaxation-style holidaying; loud parties are prohibited.
