About this property
BEST location! Multi family stay. Rye bay beach & shops 10min walk
Simply the BEST location and the property has just about everything you need for an amazing coastal stay.
Families and quiet friendship groups love this spacious property with lots of activities and facilities for all ages!
Once you've arrived, just park the car and walk to the beach and shops. Such a great location and a very well equipped property!
Perfect for an extended family or 2 families to share, this property has everything you need for an enjoyable and memorable stay. Sun House by the Bay is a well equipped, modern style beach house. In short, this is a fabulous family beach house which is sure to tick all your boxes for a wonderful and relaxing coastal getaway. So many amenities and activities available. With ducted heating/cooling and central location, its the perfect spot for your Mornington Peninsula getaway no matter what time of year it is!
The shops and cafes of Rye are easily accessible by foot. While close to everything you need, its removed enough from the hustle and bustle to offer a peaceful stay for your family. The bay beach is just 500m from the house with no slopes!
On arrival you are greeted by the sight of the beautiful landscaped garden, spacious drive and large garage. In the garage there is a table tennis table for your use as well as a couple of bikes (we do try to keep these in working order, but occasionally they get punctures!).
On entering the property, you'll find a long, wide, well lit corridor. Immediately on the left is the first queen bedroom. Complete with a TV, walk in robe and ensuite with shower, basin and toilet, this is a fabulous room. The shuttered windows look out onto the beautiful landscaped front garden.
Heading down the corridor from the front queen bedroom, you will find the property guide, guest book and wifi instructions on the hall table.
A little further on, the corridor opens into the large and spacious open plan kitchen/living area. There are floor to ceiling windows throughout this lovely room so it is flooded with light all year round.
The state of the art kitchen will please any cook. All the appliances are stainless steel and it is very well equipped; truly a cooks delight!
The inside dining room seats 8 and there is also a breakfast bar at the kitchen bench.
The huge living room overlooks the decks and basket ball court. There is a wall mounted flat screen TV with DVD.
Moving outside, you'll find a superb outdoor undercover entertaining area which includes an outdoor kitchen with mains gas BBQ.
The alfresco meals area is perfect for dining in any weather. The covered deck offers shelter and there are fans to keep you cool on hot summer days. Plenty of seating is available on the deck. Enjoy a long lazy lunch while watching the kinds play basketball on the inground basketball court!
The "Goalrilla" in-ground basketball court was installed in 2021. It is the #1 brand in the USA and Australia with state of the art synthetic turf which is a fabulous addition and the only one in the area! Please don't walk on it in spikey or high heeled shoes though. We’ve recently added a trampoline too! Off the kitchen area there is another doorway through to another corridor with access from this to the 2 bunk rooms, laundry, family bathroom and separate toilet
The 2 bunk rooms both sleep up to four people each. There is a set of bunks, a single bed and a roll out single trundle bed in each of these rooms. There is one room at each end of the corridor with the bathroom, toilet and laundry between them. PLEASE NOTE; the top bunks are NOT rated for adults to sleep on and as such are only suitable for people under 60kg. The family bathroom has a bath, separate shower and basin. The toilet is next to the bathroom.
From the laundry there is access to the side of the house where you will find a washing line.
Off the lounge area, you'll find a very spacious queen bedroom. Complete with a TV, built in robes and an ensuite with a shower, basin and toilet.
Both front and back gardens are child friendly as they are fully fenced, please note however that pets are NOT allowed.
We supply linen and towels for all guests, but you will need to bring your beach towels with you..
Strictly NO Schoolies or end of year School/Uni bookings allowed under any circumstances.

We had a wonderful time away at this spacious family home in Rye. It had all the amenities + the fun of a great basketball area and ping pong table. So close to access everything the peninsula has to offer, a great getaway!
We had a wonderful stay at the house in Rye. The location was fantastic, close to local attractions and just a short walk to the beach. The house itself was tidy and well-maintained, making it a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. Overall, our experience was very positive, and we would definitely recommend it to others looking for a relaxing getaway.
Lovely large house, clean and well maintained (feels new) and very spacious.
Fully equipped kitchen, nice new bathroom towels and bedding.
Perfect for 2 families with kids, though 7 adults enjoyed just as much!
Stayed at the property with two families and grand parents. Was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Had lots of activities to keep the kids entertained. Location was perfect. Not near main roads and only a short stroll to the beach and shops. Highly recommended 👌
We had an amazing stay here with the whole family. House was great fully equipped with everything you would need for a stay. Adults teens and littlies were entertained with the bball court and trampoline. Host was great in communicating with us. I would highly recommend this house.
Great property for 2 families. Teens enjoyed the table tennis table, trampoline and basketball court. Short walk to beach. Spacious home with pantry staples included to get started which we loved. The beds were super comfortable. I'd happily return.
We had a great stay. The house was clean and had lots of lovely light.
The backyard was perfect for the kids who enjoyed the basketball court.
The kitchen had everything you’d ever need, no shortcuts here. It was lovely to cook in and the plates etc were of a high quality.
Bathrooms were also great.
Kids beds were uncomfortable, but other than that everything was great and we enjoyed our stay.
Nice location.
Fantastic property with plenty of room for two family.There isn’t anything they haven’t thought of.The kids loved the basketball court and trampoline. We will definitely be back.
House was in exceptional condition and contained everything we needed and was close by to local shops and golf courses. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property.
What an excellent stay. Plenty of room for multiple people and lots of fun on the basketball court. Fantastic house with close access to beach and shops
Loved our stay over Easter. The property had everything we could need and the host was very friendly and accommodating. Honestly a great house for an extended family getaway. Loved it and could quite easily have stayed longer.
Beautiful place to stay, spacious, clean and well equipped. Short distance to the beach and shops. Would highly recommend to everyone. A really relaxing holiday with everything you need to unwind and enjoy.
