Summary:
The Happy Place offers the classic Jan Juc experience. Capturing a sense of freedom that only elevation and water views can attain, the sunny aspect takes advantage of golf course, ocean and parkland views across the treetops. Imagine checking the surf, grabbing a board and walking 750m to the sand! At day’s end, a BBQ on the deck is the perfect place to relax as the sun goes down. Situated in a quiet court with the comforts of home - holidays really can be this easy. Pet friendly, by request.

The Space:
Tranquil and private, with the joie-de-vivre of a classic coastal retreat, ‘The Happy Place’ epitomises that special beach house you want to enjoy with friends and family. Nestled among the trees in a quiet cul-de-sac, this property has the best position in the court with park and ocean views, extending to the fairways of the RACV golf course. Easy access to all amenities including the Surf Life Saving Club, village shops and café’s, and most importantly it’s a mere 750m stroll to Jan Juc foreshore.

Families will love the creek reserve that leads to playgrounds throughout the hamlet, and visiting world-famous Bells Beach is under 10mins drive. Easy walking or riding distance to the main Torquay shopping and dining precinct is also a big win, so you can leave the car at home and explore.

Positioned with a northerly aspect to take full advantage of the sun and scenic outlooks, the wraparound deck with built-in bar seating acts as an ‘outdoor room’ from sunrise to sunset. Generous living and accommodation over two levels gives everyone space to come together or seek retreat, making it ideal for a memorable family holiday, groups of friends or executive travellers.

The upper level offers the main living area, kitchen, dining and covered deck. Beautifully decorated interiors complement the timber floors, enhanced by cathedral ceilings and extensive glazing that invite the sun all day long. Gaze out to the views of parkland, golf course and the sea, or relax on the comfy lounge and watch TV (Smart TV - log in with your own Netflix/streaming account details), with RC air conditioning comfort upstairs. Seamless connection to the extensive wrap-around deck gives you space inside and out for BBQs or quiet time.

Generous bench tops and quality appliances make for effortless entertaining on the sunny deck, so you can dine outside or indoors (8 seater tables inside and outside). Kids are catered to with plastic plates/cups/bowls, stair gates, board games, plus a highchair and porta cot (BYO cot linen).

Downstairs a second living area is the ideal kid’s or guest space to relax and unwind, furnished with comfy couches, a TV, books, board games and electric wall panel heater. There's even an 80's arcade game table with all the favourite games like Galaga and Pacman! Direct access to the paved patio and fully fenced backyard gives the kids heaps of room to play outside, and well-behaved pets are welcome by negotiation (pets incur an extra $50 cleaning fee).

All three bedrooms are beautifully appointed with hotel quality sheets and bath towels. The master suite feels like a private sanctuary, with a King-size bed, RC-AC, ceiling fan, plantation shutters (no blind on high window) and luxe spa bath in the adjoining ensuite. Downstairs are 2 more Queen bedrooms with portable fans and electric panel wall heaters.
