We booked this place directly on their webpage and saved a fortune. We got to this gated accommodation and we’re in for the biggest surprise, it was a mansion, huge, I actually got a little lost each time I changed levels, the house had all beautiful appliances and a massive kitchen and fridge was huge enough for two families, a dining room table that sits 12 I think, balconies at every turn, list goes on…we actually felt like rock stars, beautiful gardens, breath taking views. Gardens were big enough to play a game of footy on. Gardens were fantastically manicured, a swimming pool to do laps if you like, a landing to watch the beach at the bottom of the garden, a path through the trees leads to an amazing beach. You don’t have to leave this place at all except for supplies. I have to mention the host, Kiki was amazing and very friendly, I would stay there again. The place and people welcoming.…

Our second holiday at Shutters on the Beach and it was another perfect week of relaxation, lazing by the pool, BBQ on the deck and strolls along the beach. Kiki & Ange thank you once again and we look forward to our next visit late 2023.

This place is a real gem!! Quiet but close to AgnesWater. Immediate beach front. There is a lovely deck overlooking the beach to have drinks or dinner. A pool and large grass area for kids to play. It is only just a walk to the flags , takeaways coffee shop etc at Agnes. It’s on three levels so there is some stairs but it is very thoughtfully set out. The kitchen is VERY well equipped ( w/ a real coffee machine) a large dining and lounge area and a deck on each level. Overall, it is probably the best there is at Agnes!!!

Absolutely beautiful for a family, right on the beach with a great pool and three level house. Kiki greeted us on arrival and said if we need anything just call. Everything was wonderful for Adults and children for the week, and we would all like to recommend a stay at Shutters. We had an awesome meal for Xmas night also a very close Drift & Wood Restaurant, food was just wonderful and lovely welcoming staff. Great fishing and beautiful beach walks. Happy Days 2021 Do yourself a favour & go stay.

Such an awesome holiday house, in a wonderful location. The place was huge, right on the beach and a 5 minute walk into town. The house was super clean and had everything you could want and need (including a proper espresso coffee machine). Kiki and Ange were fantastic to communicate with and were so lovely and welcoming, would reccomend booking directly with them and saving on all the hidden fees from other booking sites. We will absolutely be returning to this hidden gem.

Not only is Shutters a treat to the eyes on arrival it gets even better when you see the magnificent landscaped grounds surrounding the Lap pool with the original coastal Casuarina trees cascading down the sand dunes. The beach is literally metres away with excellent access for swimming. The beach house accommodation is superb. I could live here if only. The hosts respected our privacy and where necessary were always more than helpful to recommend activities, trips etc. My wife and I are already planning a return next year with other family members to share this memorable experience.

We have very sadly returned home today after 5 amazing nights at Shutters on the Beach. The very impressive 3 story house is one of two side by side, which is suitable for a couple, like us, or groups of couples or a family. I won’t lie, you will definitely get fit going up and down the stairs as you will spend most of your time on the 3rd floor where there are views of the beach. You can sit and have pre dinner drinks on the huge balcony. Everything has been thought of, and the kitchen is so well equiped, you will not need to bring a thing. there’s even a small esky so you can take drinks to the viewing platform at the end of the garden where you just sit and watch the waves. When you get hot, you stroll over the sane dune and swim right out the front in the gorgeous beach! Once you’ve had enough of that, wander back over the dune and swim in the swimming pool. Shutters is so secluded, it feels,like you are a million miles from anyway, and we just sat back, out our feet up and enjoyed the tranquility. The appliances are of high quality and the laundry has a Miele washing machine and dryer. Kiki and Ange are very accommodating and even left a bottle of champers in the fridge upon arrival. I couldn’t fault this place..and can not wait to come back! We loved every minute of our stay!…

We returned home to Brisbane last week from five glorious nights at Shutters 1770 and can only leave rave reviews about every aspect - it was sublime. Kiki and her husband Ange were so welcoming and helpful and full of local advice and recommendations - and wow do they have an eye for detail. The place is absolutely immaculate, sparkling clean and extremely well maintained, no mean feat for a giant home just back from the surf! In addition, the place is so well appointed, for example the kitchen - we brought our Marley Spoon boxes to cook for a few lunches or dinners and couldn't believe have well stocked the kitchen was with every possible utensil. We had one other couple in the adjoining home, but as Kiki mentioned to me prior to booking, every effort has been successfully made to keep the two extremely private - we never even heard from or interacted with the other guests. The location is also really great. Obviously, the ocean views from the home are fabulous to have. Secondly, it's a lazy and short sunny walk to the shops at Agnes if you want anything (like a fish burger at Off the Hook, or lunch / brekkie at the cafe INSIDE the caravan park on the water, it's great and has excellent coffee too). So you're conveniently close to town but just outside, in absolute bushy and ocean serenity. And for when you are exploring 1770 itself, it's literally five min up the road. Another great thing...the pool is perfectly located to be both protected from the wind and also receive sun all day long! A divine and luxurious stay in a stunning home amidst a spectacular location - what more could you dream of!…

We spent a week at Shutters with our two girls and had a fantastic break. The beach house is so luxurious and well appointed with everything you need, and the location is just spectacular. You simply walk to the end of the lawn, and you are on the beach. You can surf and swim right there, or take a 5 minute stroll up to the main beach at Agnes, which is in a beautiful bay, and the days we were there, it was lovely and calm. There is a well located cafe just off the beach for coffee or breakfast, and the vista could not be better. Although we spent many lazy days alternating between the beach and the beautiful pool at Shutters, we also ventured out and went four wheel driving through Deepwater National Park and swimming at Flat Rock. You would not know a bushfire has been through there only recently, and the area is beautiful and well worth a look. The track in is very sandy, and definitely only for 4WDs though. Sunset at 1770 from Beachcombers Bistro was also well worth it and we enjoyed lovely home style cooking there. Word of warning - make sure you are hungry, because the servings are huge! Another night we tried the Agnes Water Tavern and the food was reasonable but based on all of our meals, my tip would be to stick with the steak. We also checked out the Sunday markets near the bowls club, where you can stock up on books for holiday reading very cheaply! Our girls tried surfing and had a 3 hour surfing lesson from the Surf Shop next door to the bakery. At $25 each, it was great value and both of them were up on their boards and catching waves by the end of the lesson! Before we left, we had to try the Getaway Garden Cafe because we had heard so much about it, and it did not disappoint. Although it is a bit out of town, the lovely garden setting was great and we had a nice lunch - can definitely vouch for the chicken burger and the Raspberry Smoothie! My girls also loved the carrot cake which we had to take away because we were so full.... So Agnes may appear sleepy, but we found plenty to entertain us and two teenage girls, and also had ample time to relax at Shutters. The house is great, but the pool is a complete winner and we spent hours there. I would highly recommend Shutters. Kiki was very welcoming and then left us to enjoy our holiday in complete privacy. It is clear that the beach houses are well looked after and they were beautiful and clean, with champagne on arrival, a lovely touch. There were absolutely no negatives for us and we will definitely be back.…
