  We really enjoyed and appreciated the convenient location, family-friendly layout, and the deck for warm evenings. We did not have any issues with the property at all this year. The house was clean is a top choice for us. We also rented Unit 2 this year for my other daughter and family which worked really well for our family.

  This is a great house to rent while on holiday, very clean and very close to the beach and shops. However, there is a few things that I believe needs attention. 1. No NBN connection means no WiFi or internet. 2. Master bedroom bed is hard as a rock, slept on it for the first 2 days and it killed my back and had to sleep on the couch inside. 3. Master bedroom TV upgrade to smart TV. 4. Shower, wtf.. lowest pressure ever, hardly could have a shower. Hardly any hot water pressure.

  Vally S from BURWOOD EAST, VIC recommends this vacation rental

  The location of the house was ideal—so close to everything & the layout with the playground & pool made it a fantastic option for a family getaway. We especially enjoyed the deck which was perfect for relaxing on warmer evenings.
  That said, we encountered a few issues that affected our stay & I wanted to provide some constructive feedback in he hope that these can be addressed.
  Possum in the Back Twin Bedroom Walls - There may be a possum residing within the walls of the back twin bedroom causing loud banging noises throughout the night. Unfortunately this made it quite difficult to sleep in that room.
  Master Bedroom TV Issue - The TV in the master bedroom’s retreat area continuously restarts, looping every five minutes or so. As it stands, it’s unusable, which was a bit disappointing.
  Cleanliness Concerns
  We found two large cockroaches in the bedrooms, and several live cockroaches in the kitchen area.
  The tables and benches in the kitchen, dining, & lounge areas appeared to have a smeared residue that we had to clean ourselves upon arrival.
  We encountered a few spiders in the bedrooms & a dead white-tail spider in one of the children’s drawers.
  There was also an eggy smell throughout the kitchen and dining area which may have been from a previous cleaning product.
  Missing Toaster - The property was advertised as having a toaster but one was not available we couldn't find it in the kitchen. A small detail, but one that would have been very convenient for us.
  Coffee Machine Not Cleaned - The coffee machine had not been cleaned as we found old used pods still inside. Additionally, the coffee pods available in the pantry did not fit the machine so we were unable to use it during our stay.
  Overall, the property has so much potential & with a few improvements in these areas, it would easily be a place we’d choose to return to on future visits. With some improvements, this could be a truly exce

  Very central. Beach and bakery both only a short walk away. 4 bedrooms enables great break out space and privacy and sheets were soft. Living area cosy. A wrap around front porch area with outdoor chairs and table made for a lovely space to dine and socialise and relax. Pool a great size and maintained well. We loved our stay. Some aspects of the house are starting to need some TLC but that didn’t detract from our overall enjoyment of our stay.

  This two bedroom apartment was in a fantastic location, close to beach and shops in Cowes. The apartment was however filthy. The oven was disgusting, carpets dirty, mattresses stained , couches with food bits from previous guests and windows and blinds all dusty and caked with grime. Based on the unhygienic state of the rental we would not return.

The spare blanket had holes in it. Had to clean the frying pan it was unclean ..and only 2 teaspoons for 7 people.

  Our family stayed in Unit 1 and we found the unit to be comfortable but rather dated. Carpet was old, blinds were broken, floor rugs were stained. Could be excellent with some simple attention to detail/TLC.
  Possum in roof was very annoying and unfortunately nothing was done when requested to look into the matter.
  The communal pool was perfect and large enough for all.
  The grounds need a lot of maintenance - the complex looks run down. Once again, could be awesome with some attention.

  Hired out all 3 units with the family made it easy.

  Location awesome.
  Bed and bedding pretty basic.
  Cutlery and cooking equipment has had to have been mixed up over the course of previous stays.
  Property requires Maintanence repairs.
  Overall being a busy time of year with back to back bookings understand why some of these items may have been lacking.
  Would book again very good value for money.
