Fabulous and Spacious

This house was just perfect for our family gathering. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. With 9 adults and 4 children to accommodate, we found the house to provide more than enough space inside and out. Great facilities for the whole family.

Super family home

A family home with all the ‘extras’ that made our extended family long weekend together absolutely wonderful! Comfortable beds, enough bathrooms, entertainment areas including the tennis court and pool (too cold for June) and outdoor gardens to the short walk to the front beach, the home catered for all ages in our family group.

Family reunion holiday

We found it a great house for a large group from many age generations to enjoy varied activities and spaces. There were a great choice of activities for everyone. Although dogs were allowed at the property, not having a front gate meant there was a constant need to check it’s whereabouts.
Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Oct, 2022
We make it clear to all dog owners at the time of booking that there is no front gate and that the property is not suitable if they have pets that tend to wander off.

We all loved the house it was great for adults and children and would book again

The place was fantastic ( only problem was I tlthe oven wasn’t clean but I didn’t need the oven and I had to clean the BBQ before I could use it we cooked on the BBQ and it was great
Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Nov, 2022
Tans for the review. The oven was professionally cleaned one month ago by OvenU. The BBQ is a soft steel flat plate BBQ and is cleaned after eac stay due to its nature, the plate takes on a black appearance, and doesn’t look great even when clean.

Great family weekend

Thanks Adam and Belinda, We had an amazing long weekend with our children and grandchildren, 17 in total. The tennis court and basketball hoop were in use between showers. The games room was a perfect hang- out for the teenagers while the adults were able to relax in their own space. Marie and Michael

We had a great stay ( 19 of us) even though the weather wasn’t warm enough Christmas week to swim! The yard was great all the kids had lots of room to play all their games etc! The kitchen was fairly well stocked ( even kids dishes etc) we picked up a blender for smoothies etc & scouring pads to scrub pots & pans. Each person got 1 towel which we could have used more for the week but all good! I would recommend this holiday house for large groups as it almost all the boxes! The Bbq area was great as well.

Wonderful location.

Within walking distance of front and back beaches as well as shopping centre but with so many activities to do on the property we spent much of our time at the house. The number of living areas, bedrooms a bathrooms was a huge bonus and we wanted for nothing. A few small maintenance things to be done in and around the house…we discussed that sometimes it’s a good idea for owners to stay on their properties for a while so they get to know these things and rectify. Overall we had a wonderful stay and certainly recommended for a large family.

It was unfortunate that Christine stayed during a severe storm event which caused an electrical short and undermined the backup (secondary) hot water service. We were able to find an electrician to come out late in the evening to ensure our guests’ safety. Replacement of the hot water system was delayed several times due to unavailability of equipment (pandemic related logistics delays) but has now been replaced.

Happy Days

A perfect venue for my 70th with the family. Children loved the tennis court and the pool with plenty of equipment provided. Plenty of space for them to run around. Games room allowed the adults to eat in peace! Kitchen very well equipped for the cooks in the family. My correspondence with Adam was immediate and helpful. The best birthday celebration!

All you need

This property ticks all the boxes. The location, in a quiet neighbourhood, is perfect with Sorrento Central and bay and ocean beaches all within easy walking distance. The property itself provides for all ages, we ranged from 1 to 72, with plenty to keep all occupied and room to quietly relax and enjoy. Highly recommend for large family gatherings.

big property with plenty of features to make it comfortable and entertaining

Property presented well but needed some general maintenance to hold its rating .ie. shower hoses split, toilet seats unstable, garden needing some TLC (lawns mowing for young ones running around) However for a large group it was great.

perfect for big groups

The house was fantastic with plenty of room for all the couples and their children. The house had lots of amenities to keep all entertained during the stay. Shops and beach were walking distance for the house, only negative thing I’d have to say is the house had no cooling down stairs which was the main living area.

Great holiday house for a large group

Our family of 18 (aged 11-76) had a fantastic stay at this property. The multiple living/recreation areas meant that everyone was able to find a comfortable space for reading or games. We played downball on the half court tennis court and found the pool refreshing . The kitchen was well appointed for a large group and the bar fridge in the games room good for drinks. Adam was a helpful and responsive host! Highly recommended!!!
