David's house is in a great location that's a nice short walk to the beach and a quiet place to relax.With every bedroom having its own bathroom and a completely separate living area that's connected with a large deck with BBQ area - this is the perfect family beach getaway. Thanks for hosting us during the Xmas break!
Absolutely loved our stay in this house. Very clean and comfortable, everything was perfect. David also provided the first drinks on him so very thoughtful. We all enjoyed hanging out the back with our fur friends watching the . We will definitely be back. Thank you
A nice house to stay, its a shame there is no dryer as i can imagine in winter it would be tough to dry anything.Overall a pleasent place the front and back decking is beautiful, however we most likely will not be back as the backyard is not secured off from the front and we had a neighbour "pop in" to tell us negative things about the area, nothing of which was vital for our stay, we were put off and felt we no longer could relax.

Thanks for the recommendation for a dryer something we will look to do once the summer is over. Our house has a front fence and a drive way that leads into the back yard. Our 60 year old female neighbour thought our family was there and came to say hello most people appreciate the friendly and relaxed vibe of the lower bluff area. At anytime guests have questions about anything they can contact me like the requests to arrive early and depart later which we are happy to help with.
Fantastic fenced in yard allowed our dog to safely roam about. Very clean, ample seating everywhere. Plenty of space. Would recommend this place very highly!
Had a great holiday with our 5 kids and dog. Walking distance to Edward's Point Reserve and a short drive into St Leonards (with the best fish 'n' chips in Victoria). Owner excellent with communication.
Impressive Beach House - Highly Recommend! thanks :)
This property was clean, neat and had such a great beach feel about it. The property exceeded our expectations for convenience and comfort. Communication from the owner was by far the best I've ever had, this was an easy transaction and great consideration was given to us which made our holiday amazing! The proximity to the beach is great along with a number of available beach/bush type walks, just outside your door. I would very highly recommend this property, its provides everything a relaxed, comfortable, cozy beach holiday should have. Thank you for our great holiday.
The home and bungalow were very clean and everything you need is there. Enough space for a bigger family and nice big yard for our pet. It was a great location for taking walks to the beach and all around the area. Would stay again.

Mid week break
We enjoyed our two night stay, close to nature reserve and beach.
The house is well equipped and would suit a large family.
Good value, bed comfortable and inverter ensured warmth as required.

Fantastic place for a young family and a fur baby! The host was great and flexible.
The property had a fantastic layout for a young family. The backyard was nice and private and the hammocks were an absolute hit with kids and adults. A relaxing spot, nice and clean and a fantastic host!

Wonderful pet friendly property.
We enjoyed our three day stay in your lovely beach cottage. It was a home away from home. We were fortunate enough to have great weather and the deck out back was perfect to enjoy it. Max 🐶 loved the big backyard. A few minutes walk from the beach. We had car issues and David was very accomodating with a late checkout. Thank you.

Excellent pet friendly property
Our 2nd short stay at this lovely house. Tidy and secure yard for 2 small dogs. Great walks on the beach. Back deck is great place for relaxing and meals. We had all we needed and have no hesitation in recommending this property as a comfortable base in this area. We will be back at some stage and hopefully for a longer stay. Property owner David is excellent to deal with.

Wonderful, pet friendly property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property had everything we needed and pet friendly as well, with the 3 small dogs allowed inside. Situated in nice quiet area which suited us. We have already rebooked and can't wait to spend some time on the back deck in some slightly better weather early next year.
