Your stay was more than ok! as your wedding celebrations at the home, conducted without the courtesy of requesting prior authorisation from our property owner, was a breach of the booking terms and conditions. As such, you are not considered a valued guest and not welcome back.

We had a weekend away with friends and loved the location of this home away from home. Walking distance to the beautiful shopping and eateries in Sorrento. Exquisite decor and ambiance - thank you

We are so glad you had a great weekend away with friends Helena! Sounds like you made the most of the beautiful location - there’s nothing better than being able to stroll into Sorrento for a bite or a bit of shopping. We’re happy to hear the home’s vibe and style hit the mark. Hopefully, another coastal escape isn’t too far off! Warm regards, Beach House Rentals, Mornington Peninsula

Hemston a coastal haven !

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A beautiful light filled home, welcoming and tastefully appointed with ample room for our large family getaway. A secluded location but within easy reach of town, plenty of amenities and games to keep everyone occupied without ever leaving, plus a great outdoor deck area for long relaxed lunch and afternoon sessions. Everyone loved the stay and already talking about a return visit.

David, we do understand ... your apology is gratefully received ..."Utmost apologies – intention of course was a 5 star rating, for each of the individual categories and overall. Everything about the weekend was perfect. Lesson learnt - don’t rush things when you are pushed for time". As valued guests, Beach House Rentals look forward to having you all return.

Gorgeous Hemston House, Sorrento

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family and friends enjoyed a weekend in May. Hemston is spacious, light filled, warm and inviting. We loved the expansive front garden and for our family pet and the fire pit was enjoyed in the evening. Close to Sorrento town, peaceful and quiet surroundings. Furnished well and comfortable bedding. The converted garage lounge retreat was a hit with our teenagers.

Great house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fabulous layout excellent location. Absolutely loved it all. Back room was so perfect for kids as an additional living room. Could walk to town and shops and close to beaches. Lots of space and great interiors Only downsides were- ants everywhere even in the bathroom when we obviously don’t eat in there. Disappointing. Also for the price having one air con in that heat with very few blinds in living room made it way too hot
