Great beach holiday for kids and dogs

Fantastic, no fuss holiday rental. This was our second visit! The location is perfect. So close to the beach and bowling club, with easy walk to IGA for supplies. Good safe backyard for the dog. A new BBQ is all I would ask for.

Mixed

Location was awesome and fenced back garden was great for our dog. However, the property could do with some updating and more attention to detail of cleaning. There was heavy dust in vents, top of cupboard doors, and main bedroom walls. The BBQ was pretty grim and the back undercover area not especially nice to sit out in. For not much money the back area could be given a make over to make a huge difference to the feel of the place and to create a pleasant place to sit out in. There was a strong smell of air fresheners to cover up a damp smell on our arrival. Dishwasher was not very effective but there was a nice new clothes washing machine and the beds were comfortable. Agent, Pam was very quick to respond and mend the gas connection to the bbq. Location was certainly its best feature! NB, No wifi.

Awesome Location but a very musty, damp house.

Awesome location near the beach and Bowlo. Perfect for us. Previous reviews were spot on about the mustiness. This is due to poor drainage around the property and the way the house has has been built on it. Probably a reason why next door is building their house on pillars to let the water flow through and under the house. We bought scented candles and open the windows at every opportunity. Easy fix. Kitchen was fine, bedroom and beds all good. Carpets were damp in the front two bedrooms. BBQ was handy and had gas. Above all it was okay. It’s a holiday rental house with no frills but serves it’s purpose.

Lots of issues with the property

House was Very unclean, Freezer had old bait fish & other food left in it. Back screen door was torn. Yard had not been mowed, shower leaked, TV broke on day 3. The backing on the main curtains in the living area, was coming of as white powder everywhere. The whole house has a strong musty smell. The washing machine leaks. Frypans were disgusting & had to be replaced. Only 1 dessert spoon, no steak knives,. Red belly black snake in the house & had to call WIRES to catch & remove it. Had to get cleaner in, plumber, lawn mower man, TV repair man twice, Pam from the R/E, snake catcher, my husband repaired the screen door. Numerous emails & calls to the R/E agents. No response to date from the owner of the property. We want some compensation as all of these things put together, had a huge impact on the quality of our holiday. By the time everything was dealt with, we had 2 days before we came home. The location of the property is excellent & yard, once mowed, was great for the dogs.

Perfect. Great location with short walk to the beach & bowling club.

This was a great house in an ideal location. We were in Scott’s Head for a surfboat carnival & the house was a 2 minute walk to the beach. It is an older style house with older style furnishings but was clean & tidy & the beds were very comfortable. Relaxed spot with great outdoor area. Is ideal for a long stay or even a weekend stopover.
