Sandy Court Beach House has all your family-friendly comforts covered. From the abundance of kids books and DVD's, bunk beds, a sandpit and the jewel of the crown - a separate room from the main house. This 'room' is a dedicated playroom with everything imaginable from a furnished wooden dolls house, ample games to suit every age, LEGO, Duplo, Thomas train track, craft supplies, boules, tennis rackets and puzzles right down to a beach bucket and shovel. For babies there are soft toys, a playmat and two highchairs available. There's also a fabulous Bang & Olufsen TV for DVD/VHS watching.

Back inside the main house you'll find a fully functionable kitchen including a coffee machine, dishwasher, kids plates/cups/cultery, main provisions (sugar, tea bags, salt/pepper, coffee, cooking oil etc), a large living/dining area, four bedrooms that sleep up to 10 Adults with two bedrooms offering bunk beds and there's two bathrooms (one with a bath).

Somers is an easy one hour, 10 minute cruise from Melbourne when driving on the new Peninsula link.

The beach is literally a stone's throw away and directly opposite the Somers General Store. SGS is one of those 'must' visits. Boasting a great menu, coffee, good quality produce (so if you run out of jam, milk etc this is a quick back-up if you don't want to drive to the very well stocked Ritchie's IGA in Balnarring), ice-creams and colouring pencils and paper are supplied for the kids. Seating is indoors or take in beach views on the deck. There's also a couple of gluten free options.

What we loved about our stay was that everything was supplied, right down to the beach towels. The location is perfectly suited and very quiet. Somers is known as a sleepy village which suited us down to the ground! We were after a little R & R away from the City and that's exactly what we got.

If you're after a family-friendly welcoming escape you can't beat Sandy Court Beach House. It oozes retro charm of the seaside and delivers a big package of comfort, space, warmth and special touches.

It's a new Little Melbourne favourite.
