Thank you for an amazing stay at your peaceful beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful beach house with us! We had an incredible stay and were truly taken by the beauty of the surroundings—it’s such a picturesque and peaceful spot.The aspect of the house was absolutely perfect; having the sun all day long made every moment so relaxing and uplifting. We also loved how easily we could walk to both the front and back beaches, which offered the best of both worlds. Being close enough to drive into town was another great bonus that made everything so convenient.Overall, it’s a fantastic beach house, and we feel so lucky to have spent time there. We hope to return in the future!

Cosy and comfortable

Great space for 7 of us with lovely views and clean and comfortable beds. Kitchen small but well equipped except the toaster didn't work. Had to open both under sink cupboards to get to the small bin. Impossible to unpack plates and bowls from the dishwasher as the dishwasher door blocked the cupboard. Lack of pool fence all the way around the pool is concerning. Light sleepers should take some earplugs if using the bedroom closest to the pool pump that comes on very early in the morning. Be prepared for the very loud clunks from the hot water in the upstairs bathroom!

Cosy house located near the back beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay at this holiday house and very much enjoyed the wonderful pool. Proximity to the back beach is fantastic. Shops and front beach are a quick 5 min drive. The interiors, bathroom, furniture are pretty basic but overall the house has everything you need for a short stay. Nice bbq and outdoor seating area. Beds are not queen sized as stated- and there are only two double beds, not three as stated in the ad. From the photos it looks like the yard, trampoline and cubby are very well connected to the main living area but they are quite far apart from each other.

Almost perfect

Hey. Fantastic property and pool. Two things that kept popping up. Using the hand rail on there stairs jams your finger about a 1/3 from tthe bottom. And the one belongs in a cheap rental. Otherwise all good. Steve

Lovely house with heated pool

This house was great for our two little families. Had everything we needed from kids toys, games, books and a heated pool. Lovely views from the loungeroom to finish the days. Host company was great to deal with.

Friends getaway

Great stay for a family. Fantastic View and pool. For a girls weekend the kitchen was too small. Some kitchen essentials where missing such as a salad bowl. The towels in the down stairs rooms were old. It’s a bit tired in parts for example mould around the showers. Overall though this is a good property.

Great girls weekend away!

Property was a bit older and run down than the pics would have you believe, however the house was very cosy and exactly what we needed for a girls cheese platter & catchup weekend. Gas heater worked very well, however the pool wasn't heated very hot so didn't get to use it much which was disappointing. Only other issue we encountered was a weird water torture noise we couldn't pin point, can only presume it was from the ill aligned down pipes but had us visiting the chemist for ear plugs :) Overall we had a great stay and would recommend the property to anyone after a similar weekend of beach walks and fresh air.

Great pool, beautiful view! Missing a few special touches...

This was a perfect stay for a weekend getaway. The pool is glorious - clean, relaxing and an absolutely stunning view. We absolutely loved the stay here. The only issue was a few small touches were missing. For example, there was an ant colony infesting the living room area - we sprayed them many, many times (though there was very little spray left when we got there!) but they just kept coming back. I had to keep vacuuming them up over the few days that we were there. Also, little things like the hand soaps in all bathrooms being depleated (and no re-fills on offer). Couches were a little dirty too. Other than that, we had a great time!
