Holiday house

Stay at The Big Blue, situated in the stunning Town of 1770/Agnes Water, and loose yourself in the sparkling waters of the Coral Sea.
Enjoy the easterly breezes on balmy summer evenings from the privacy of the large open decks.
Relax on Queensland's most northern surf beach and enjoy all the Town of 1770/Agnes Water has to offer. Visit the Great Barrier Reef and snorkel and scuba dive, travel to Queensland's first coastal lighthouse, kayak in pristine estuaries or just relax on the Agnes Water surf beach, only minutes walk away, clean and pristine with over 6km's of golden sands to ensure you can get away from it all.
The Big Blue is located right in the heart of Agnes Water and only a short stroll to the beach and shopping precinct with café's and restaurants nearby. It is a three storey holiday home that provides amazing views along the 6km Agnes Water beach to the point at the Town of 1770. Wide timber balconies provide maximum outdoor living space and wonderful breezes throughout summer.
The master bedroom and ensuite is located upstairs along with a large open planned living, dining and kitchen area. The living area is well appointed with a CD player, TV and DVD. The kitchen area has all that you would need to cook up a three course meal or create a snack for lunch while you look out at the view. Three large sliding doors ensure that from all angles you are able to enjoy the view. The outdoor seating and BBQ area on the upper deck is a great place to watch the days turn into nights. Enjoy lying in the sun in a beautiful little suntrap on the upstairs balcony or if sun is not your thing enjoy the shades cool breezes at the other end of the deck.
Downstairs there is a large rumpus room, ideal for the kids to watch a DVD or play games, two bedrooms, kitchenette, bathroom and laundry. Large decks downstairs make sure that everyone has a place to rest and relax.
As dog lovers ourselves we understand that it is a true family holiday when your favourite dog travels with you
