Thank you for your kind words and glad you were able to enjoy your stay.
Regarding the TV reception this is a small change in movement / fix with the power point aerial adaptor.
We would have been happy to talk you though this had we being informed when it occurred.
Sorry we were not told - given this feedback we will put "What to do if reception not clear" into the Welcome Pack to let guests know how to correct if it does happen to them.
We look forward to welcoming you back anytime as guests and glad you were able to enjoy the house and nearby new cafe.
Highly recommend this house and the hosts! Lovely house with great location, short walk to dog friendly beach, but in a quiet neighbourhood. Kylie was very responsive, generous and kind, couldn't recommend this place more! Neat and tidy, well stocked with little extras in the kitchen and comfy beds...we will be back again for sure.

Thank you Chelsea, we glad you were able to enjoy your stay and were very lucky with the weather!
This is the perfect location for a quiet family getaway and is situated within a short walk of a spectacular surf beach. The house is simple and tidy, with everything you need for a comfortable stay: a well-equipped holiday kitchen and even dog toys for your furry family members. As mentioned in other posts, the back porch area is lovely to hang out on and listen to the local wildlife. Kylie is a lovely host and was very accommodating to our needs.

Carolyn was the perfect guest for our place in Ocean Grove. They treated the house as if it was their own. Along with Charlie their four legged friend. The house and gardens were left in perfect condition. We would welcome them back anytime.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great, prompt communication with host. Excellent location close to the beach and cafe. Comfortable bed. Secure yard for our pet.
Local shops that have everything only a short drive away.

Thank you Inger - glad you and your pooch were able to enjoy our place and we look forward to seeing you again.
Thank you to the hosts for this awesome stay. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome. We were able to bring our dog Charlie for a relaxed holiday by the beach. The location is a short walk to the beach with a great cafe nearby. A sunny backyard and deck makes it a perfect place to sit and relax. Had everything you need for a stress free holiday. Highly recommend!

The perfect guests one could ask for. Highly recommend. Their dog Charlie enjoyed his stay and the house was left on departure just as when they arrived. Glad you all enjoyed your stay and were able to enjoy the sun on the back deck along with I’m sure a coffee from the local coffee shop. Welcome back anytime. AAA +++
We stayed for 4 nights. The house was very clean and very comfortable with everything we needed for the 3 of us plus two dogs, and the large back and front years were very secure for the dogs. Location was superb for us, being so close to the massive off-leash dog beach, and then the dog-friendly cafe across the road from the beach. Kylie's communication was superb from the very beginning, and she texted on the morning of departure to offer us a late check out, which was greatly appreciated. We definitely want to stay again.

Quiet location where you can hear the ocean
A very comfortable 3 bedroom home with everything you need to enjoy this special area. The location is great - a short stroll to a lovely beach or a cool cafe. A very short drive to the local shopping center where you have a supermarket or a range of food options meaning we didn’t have to drive around to make everyone happy, it was park & scatter.
We had a fantastic 4 days in Ocean Grove. Highly recommended
Had a lovely stay at this property. The new dog beach cafe 5 mins walk away was a highlight. It’s across the road from the beach too. The beds were super comfy. My favourite spot was sitting on the deck out the back in the sun enjoying watching the clouds float past. The house was exactly as described. I would definitely stay here again. Kylie was a fantastic host and she checked in with me to make sure we’d arrived and to give recommendations on local places. We didn’t really do much because sitting outside in the backyard was so good we didn’t want to leave. It was a nice walk into the Main Street and we ate at a nice seafood restaurant. The area was quiet and we could hear the surf overnight. Thanks for having us Kylie I can’t wait to come back again. Definitely didn’t want to leave.

We look forward to having you back and enjoy Paws by the Sea. We will be closed for the winter and reopen late Nov.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a great location - close to the dog beach and a short walk to a cafe and hotel. The home had very comfortable beds with all amenities. Communication and support from the owner was very prompt when we had forgotten usb power adapters.
House is in a great location, close to dog beach and cafe. Had a couple of issues with cleaning but everything was rectified as soon as the owner was made aware.

Thank you for your honest review.
may i ask a favour to be fair to my listing to note in brackets "cleaning (outdoor BBQ and fridge)" as otherwise your comment implies the inside was not clean and i can vouch for my cleaner she does a great job. this would be greatly appreciated as you can see i try hard to ensure my guests enjoy their stay as this reflects poorly on my listing. thank you greatly
