The house had everything we needed. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. The lounge and dining areas easily accommodated 7 adults for a four day weekend. The views from the generous deck are spectacular. We'll definitely be coming back.

The place was spacious, and the area is beautiful. It needed more cleaning. We had to wash the plates, cups, and silverware we used because they were sticky. Cobwebs were all over the house, and the stairs to the lower level were not swept. We had to do some laundry and had to go to the lower part of the house. Also, the host should be very clear about the bedding and towels provided and communicate this to Expedia. Since one who is traveling should not worry about those items. The place was functional.

Amazing stay

We booked this house as a base for our family for our wedding in McCrae. It was a great house, with lots of space and amazing views from the balcony. The downstairs area was entirely separate, which was great for escaping for a bit while all the prep was going on. Thank you so much for having us!

Excellent location stunning views

Outside impression not great but lovely inside, the kitchen, lounge and meals area are beautiful and the views from the large deck were amazing, great to have dinner and watch the sunset and watch the boats sail past. The beds are comfortable but take your own pillows as they are very thin and only 1 per person. We opted for the host to provide linen at an extra cost. Our main isdue was the fact that the downstairs bedroom could not be accessed as the key was not in the drop box. Numerous calls and Sms messages to the host went unanswered. My daughter sent her an abrupt message the next morning which resulted in a phone call advising us where to locate a spare key. Not a great start to the family weekend we were looking for. The host was very apologetic and the issue was resolved albeit after many arrempts. The host did offer a refund for the inconvenience. Overall we did enjoy our stay, would we go back, not sure, jury is out

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar, 2025
I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. The key issue was unfortunate due to the guests prior not returning it to the lockbox. I will put measures in place so this situation isn’t repeated. Thanks for your feedback regarding the pillows. I will purchase some additional pillows. I take all feedback seriously as I want guests to comfortable.

The perfect place to stay for a family group

Our group comprised of ten consisted of four families - grandparents, adult children and spouses, and grandchildren. We were thrilled with the accommodation which catered for all of our needs. It is a lovely renovated property with a sunny aspect and a great balcony (deck) to take in the amazing sunsets. Plenty to keep the children occcupied and Arthurs Seat and The Enchanted Maze and Gardens are nearby. Highly recommended

A fabulous beach holiday with family

A great house that comfortably fit 8 adults, 1 baby and the dogs without feeling cramped. Great backyard fully enclosed for the dogs. Well equipped kitchen with lots of space to entertain. Lovely space for big family dinners in the dinning room or on the verandah with coastal views. Beautiful beach within walking distance, that had off leash dog areas. The beach was shallow and perfect for kids and dogs.

Great short break

The house was everything we wanted and well set up for six siblings. The location was excellent with the shops and beach a shortish walk away. The sunny deck had a great view of the ocean and was large enough for everyone to sit and watch the cargo ships and sailing craft go by. Will certainly recommend this property to others.
