This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Lone Dec 19, 2018 #### Good location but needs work The location of the house was good as it was close to shoal bay and little beach. The house is huge and rooms very spacious. Plus the ducted aircon was lovely. However the place needs work. The dishwasher didn’t really work (ran for hours and dishes not clean). There was light bulbs not working in a few of the bedside lamps. The outdoor patio roof was completely falling apart, full of holes and as a result got quite wet when it rained. The smoke alarm downstairs started beeping and had been taped together which did not seem safe. Also I will comment that there was no cleaning products at all in the house. No spray and wipe or toilet cleaner or anything which I found quite strange. A nice touch would have been to also provide more than one bin liner for a week stay and maybe even some salt and pepper as these are things most people wouldn’t think to bring with them especially from interstate. ##### Lone This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine Nov 4, 2018 #### Disappointed House was clean & area was great. But taking own linen & towels was a huge inconvenience. When going away, don’t really want to take extra luggage. I would have preferred to have paid that little extra & had house ready to enjoy. ##### Catherine This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vladimir Oct 14, 2018 #### Nice play to stay. Nice large and quite place. Good location. Broken dishwasher, bbq not cleaned properly, tv remote doesnt work. Other than that nice play to stay. ##### Vladimir This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Elvira R. Jan 15, 2016 #### Lovely property We really enjoyed our stay here. Just down the road from Shoal Bay and close to shops and cafes. The home was very comfortable. Our only issue is that the double garage is not to be used by holiday tenants and the parking is kind of tricky. Besides this everything was great. ##### Elvira R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Las Vegas Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Las-Vegas-Convention-Center.h2252716.Hotel-Information) > > [Keltic Lodge At The Highlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Ingonish-Beach-Hotels-Keltic-Lodge-At-The-Highlands.h90103667.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178239-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [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) > > [King David Jerusalem](https://www.expedia.ca/Jerusalem-Hotels-King-David-Jerusalem.h8101.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Fredericton-Lord Beaverbrook by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Fredericton-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Fredericton-Lord-Beaverbrook.h25376.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalty Maples Motel & Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlottetown-Hotels-Royalty-Maples-Motel-Cottages.h3474929.Hotel-Information) > > [Island Inn All Inclusive Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bridgetown-Hotels-Island-Inn-All-Inclusive-Hotel.h21854.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [La Creole Beach Hôtel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Gosier-Hotels-La-Creole-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h28605.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to New York (LGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/lga/winnipeg-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Castlegar (YCG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ycg/vancouver-to-castlegar) > > [flights from minneapolis st paul intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/msp/flights-from-minneapolis-st-paul-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Ladyville (BZE) to San Pedro (SPR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bze/spr/belize-city-to-san-pedro) > > [Flights from San José (SJO) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sjo/yeg/san-jose-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yhz/ottawa-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yul/vancouver-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Phoenix (PHX) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/phx/yvr/phoenix-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YTZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ytz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Turkish Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Turkish-Airlines-Flights.cTK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### General > [Visit Downtown Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Downtown-Ottawa.dx6057857)
