Great location with ocean view. A quaint beach shack walking distance to the town centre and back beach. Well appointed apart from the old oven/hot plates that we couldn’t figure out how to use. Perhaps the only cooking is the bbq, microwave, air fryer etc as listing doesn’t actually mention an oven/hotplate. All in all a very enjoyable, relaxing weekend away. Thanks for clear and prompt communication.

weekend getaway

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: We simply loved this place. It is perfect for a couples getaway. It's a bit of 'Where the Crawdads Sing' and Country Style magazine... beautifully curated to fit in with relaxed beach vibe. Was told there was no heater but to our surprise there was a perfectly good split aircon/heater which warmed the home nicely- might need to update that one. Location is amazing with the beach at your doorstep. We walked to the local and had cocktails then back to 'the shack' to watch the sun go down over the ocean. Honestly, I could live in this divine home. Hats off to the owners.

Beach shack vibes in great location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We stayed here for three nights after Christmas. It's a great spot and sitting out the front in the late afternoon under the shade of the tree was perfection. Lots of curiosities and objects in the house and very cool eclectic decor. I wouldn't bring young children here, partly because of the drop and steep driveway but also all the objects inside would make it hard for you to relax but my older kids 10 and 13 loved it. Would definitely come back and stay again.

Beachfront Bliss

This was my second time staying here as i loved it so much last time, which was in spring. I love how this place is decorated and love the view. The rather hot and unusually still weather did draw attention to the lack of flyscreens and therefore lack of airflow / breeze at night as only a stand fan was provided. Would have loved to just open a few windows without worrying about mosquitos. Great place, i will visit again.

Tip top trip hop

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Stayed three nights in mid winter. Weather was kind and not too cold as expected. This awesome c1950’s beach house oozes charm and features incredible period decor. Enjoy uninterrupted views of the Wardun/ Indian Ocean as you delight in this unique location. Humbled to visit the traditional land of the Yued Noongar custodians and pay our respects in acknowledgment of Elders, past, present and future. Visit landmark locations, close to town and worth a visit the op shop that supports the community. Overall a very bespoke visit, great for photo enthusiasts, bird watching or just being still, listening and breathing.

Neglected and poorly maintained

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location - but very neglected by owners - which was a shame and annoying too. Broken door lock so couldn't open, broken junk in front of house, all outdoor furniture and window and window ledges were filthy; no toilet paper - just a half used packet of picnic serviettes in the toilet, etc; fridge not cleaned - so had mouldy food left in fridge; outdoor chairs and tables caked with weeks of dirt- so we had to do a lot to clean the place to use it. Only one cheap, broken pedestal fan in the house to cool 4 beds (we had 40 degree temp days)- and that fan had was missing the screw in the base - so couldn't stand up, etc.. Such a shame as a really nicely styled inside and fabulous spot and Lancelin is a great town.

Boathouse review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was fantastic. Loved the quirky decorations. Trouble with the locks meant there was no security. Didn't like the mouse droppings on the couch and beds or having it munching away on stuff all night in the pantry cupboard, there were a few cockroaches as well. The place needs some attention to detail and TLC for the asking price.

Gorgeous cottage terrible access

The cottage was gorgeous, and very well thought out but the shower and toilet need renewing along with the water pressure in the shower. The access is terrible the way it’s designed it has scrapped the bottom of my car.

The absolute best view

Booking in the height of Summer, I was a little worried we'd be hot, but the sea breeze kept us really comfortable and the views are stunning - even from the shower! This house is very rustic but unbelievably charming. We loved the vintage and retro collectibles and the beds were all really comfortable. While the house is just one big room, the layout is well thought out and the four of us (2 kids) were very comfortable. We did have issues unlocking some of the doors, but the property manager was extremely helpful and is organising new keys for the doors. We will be back.
