Beautiful modern architecture walking distance from the beach
Nick and Linda are fantastic hosts and their beach house in Portsea is beautifully built, well appointed with everything you need and very conveniently located walking distance to multiple beaches and a stones throw to the Portsea Hotel.
The house is very large with multiple bedrooms, living spaces and entertaining areas and can easily accomodate a large group. The kitchen is very well setup for cooking. We stayed for a long weekend with another family and had a fantastic time, even having a couple of dips in the heated pool.
We loved Portsea Shingle House and look forward to staying again.
