Nov 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious, quiet & kid friendly A great location, only ashort drive to neach, on a quiet street across from a playground. Backyard nice and big, outdoor deck is a great area to sit under in any weather and relax or eat. Inside a very spacious house with all you need. Very kid friendly with a bath and great sized rooms. Hosts were great to deal.with. ##### Alyce B. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Lise M. Jun 11, 2025 #### Needs a good clean Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than 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: A basic house not too far from the beach. Great Sony TV and lots of board games. Basic food products in the pantry and gladwrap, alfoil etc available despite advice from booking manager. BBQ outside is pretty good but we had to clean it thoroughly before use. For a house that can accommodate 10 ppl, there aren't enough chairs at the dining table. No outdoor chairs available, pictures show outdoor chairs but these are the inside chairs moved outside for taking the promo pictures. Inside was pretty dirty, only a cursory clean performed. Hair on floors, surfaces sticky, windows difficult to see through, bedding provided was dirty, lucky we brought our own. Microwave is on top of the fridge which is a safety issue if taking hot food out of it. Only one toilet that is within the main bathroom - was an issue if someone wanted a shower and someone else wanted toilet. ##### Lise M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Park Inn by Radisson Göttingen](https://www.expedia.ca/Goettingen-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Gottingen.h890122.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [TownePlace Suites by Marriott Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-Medicine-Hat.h38924456.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Park Place Inn - Mini Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Park-Place-Inn-Mini-Suites.h26903.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals Algonquin Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Algonquin-Park-Cabins.d6343000-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Palm Springs (PSP) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/psp/lax/palm-springs-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Abu Dhabi (AUH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/auh/vancouver-to-abu-dhabi) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Castries (SLU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/slu/calgary-to-castries) > > [Flights from Mabalacat City (CRK) to Bangkok (BKK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/crk/bkk/angeles-city-to-bangkok) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dxb/toronto-to-dubai) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Niagara Falls (IAG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/iag/halifax-to-niagara-falls) > > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/ams/paris-to-amsterdam) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Sibiu (SBZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/sbz/montreal-to-sibiu) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yyz/kelowna-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Enterprise](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rental.cET.Travel-Guide-CarRentalCompany) ### Packages > [Hand of Man Museum](https://www.expedia.ca/Hand-Of-Man-Museum-Duncan.d661843177675149312.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Grand Theatre](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Theatre-Downtown-London.d6089423.Vacation-Attraction)
