This is not the standard apartment tenants expect to find in Caves Beach.

Some coastal properties offer location. This one offers a lifestyle that feels easy from the moment you arrive.

Positioned on the ground level in a private cul de sac setting, this spacious two bedroom apartment brings together the features renters are actively searching for - low maintenance living, generous outdoor space and direct walking access from the rear balcony toward the beach.

For downsizers wanting less upkeep without giving up space, relocators seeking a calmer coastal base, professionals looking for an easy commute, or anyone craving a low maintenance lifestyle near the beach, this apartment offers a rare combination of lifestyle, practicality and position.

As one of the largest floorplans in the complex, the property delivers more space than renters may expect from apartment living. The wrap around private courtyard creates multiple outdoor zones for morning coffee, entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the fresh coastal air.

Inside, the open plan living and dining area feels light, practical and easy to live in, flowing naturally to the large alfresco space. Both bedrooms are generously sized and include built in wardrobes, while the single lock up garage plus additional car space in front adds the parking flexibility renters continue to value.

Outside access to the reserve adds another layer of lifestyle appeal, with an easy pathway toward the beach and open green space nearby. Local shops, schools, public transport and everyday amenities are close by, while access to the Pacific Highway supports renters relocating into the area, commuting when needed or seeking a coastal base that still feels connected.

The complex is currently undergoing external improvements, including refreshed rendering and exterior works, helping create a renewed look and adding to the appeal of the property.

Available now and ready to inspect, this is a timely opportunity for renters wanting space, lifestyle and direct walking access toward the beach in Caves Beach.

Spacious and moments from the sand.
