Boutique Retreat Portsea by Ready Set Stay

Boutique Retreat is a stunning architecturally designed coastal escape offering refined beachside living on an expansive 1100sqm allotment. Designed for effortless entertaining and deep relaxation, the home blends boutique-hotel comfort with a relaxed Mornington Peninsula style. Just a short stroll to the breathtaking Portsea Back Beach and a two-minute drive to the iconic Portsea Hotel, it offers an enviable location with exceptional space, privacy and calm.

THE HOME
Inside, the home is beautifully appointed with feature lighting, designer finishes and thoughtfully zoned living areas that allow guests to spread out and settle in comfortably. Three generous bedrooms feature hotel-quality beds, complemented by two luxurious bathrooms plus an additional powder room, while a fourth sleeping area offers a queen sofa for added flexibility.

The heart of the home is the central living and kitchen zone, where a well-equipped designer kitchen with butler’s pantry, double oven, dishwasher and Breville coffee machine flows seamlessly to the outdoors via an indoor-outdoor servery window. This opens onto a large deck ideal for entertaining, outdoor dining and long, relaxed afternoons.

The outdoor spaces are just as impressive, with a gorgeous decked backyard complete with BBQ, outdoor furniture and a stunning brand-new pool and spa, creating a true private oasis. The expansive, fully fenced front and rear gardens provide plenty of space for children to play, while adults can relax with a drink in hand or enjoy the warmth of the cosy fireplace inside during cooler months.

Two separate living areas, both with televisions, heating and cooling, ensure comfort year-round. At the same time, thoughtful extras such as unlimited Wi-Fi, a Megaboom sound system, a designer laundry with a high-quality washer and dryer, a secure carport, and ample off-street parking make extended stays easy and enjoyable.

Spacious, stylish and impeccably presented, Boutique Retreat is a rare Portsea offering that combines architectural design, luxury comforts and an unbeatable coastal location. It’s the perfect base for experiencing the best of the Mornington Peninsula, whether you’re soaking in the spa, entertaining on the deck, or enjoying slow beachside days that stretch effortlessly into tranquil evenings.

Set in a quiet residential street, Boutique Retreat is suited to mature guests seeking a peaceful, relaxation-focused holiday. This is a home designed for quality time, coastal living, and unwinding to the sound of nearby waves, rather than loud gatherings; parties are strictly prohibited out of respect for neighbours.
