Feb 24, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great location This house is in an excellent location to the beach and shopping precinct. Just a short stroll and your there. The house was beautifully decorated with comfy furniture. However, for us the cleanliness was lacking. After and 8 hour drive, Upon arrival I spent some time cleaning the house, for what the cleaners had missed. Other than this we had a great break away, and this house was an excellent choice, if only the place was cleaner. ##### KELLIE H. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Roger C.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Amanda W. Aug 31, 2017 #### Average Great location but cottage needs a bit of TLC. Dirty doors, lots of cobwebs, very old, stained and worn out lino and sticky door knobs in the kitchen. I have stayed in a lot of holiday rentals and many provide a few extras to get you started such as tea, coffee, salt and pepper etc. Also while not essential it would be nice to see a few token things to make your stay more comfortable and the house more welcoming such as a couple of DVD's, board games or a variety of books, maybe a nice lamp in the lounge area. There was no extras at all. It felt a bit bare which is a shame. The front verandah only had 2 chairs for a house that can sleep 8 and no table to rest a cup of tea on. There isn't much yard so I wouldn't stay with children and the yeasts had a lot of cigarette buts and bottle tops in it. ##### Amanda W. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucia Apr 1, 2016 #### beautiful House Wonderful memories made! Wow we had such a beautiful long wk end! 3 Families with children all having separate areas and large living areas made our stay very comfortable. Very central to SWR centre of town making it a short stroll to horseshoe bay, a wonderful play park for the kids, fish and chip shop etc. Only a court yard at this place but the park is so close. Large Varander out the front was great to welcome the afternoon in whilst the kids played. ##### Lucia ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Halcyon Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nakusp-Hotels-Halcyon-Hot-Springs-Village-Spa.h15120434.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Surrey](https://www.expedia.ca/Surrey-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d9759-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Oak Bay Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Oak-Bay-Beach-Hotel.h40973.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy Revival Apartments English Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Sonder-At-Revival.h59898963.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Fairmont-Waterfront.h15293.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel Ritz](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Motel-Ritz.h6565919.Hotel-Information) > > [La Concha Resort, Puerto Rico, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Juan-Hotels-La-Concha-Renaissance-San-Juan-Resort.h1760259.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180016-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels.d6141041.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Assiniboia Canalta](https://www.expedia.ca/Assiniboia-Hotels-Assiniboia-Canalta.h6532239.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Enercare Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Enercare-Centre-Hotels.0-l6222021-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Destin](https://www.expedia.ca/Destin-Hotels.d6906.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d178314-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels.d10578.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Etihad Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/Etihad-Airways-Flights.cEY.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Paro (PBH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/pbh/vancouver-to-paro-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/lhr/edmonton-to-london) > > [Flights from Cairo (CAI) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cai/yyz/cairo-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Beirut (BEY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/bey/montreal-to-beirut) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Oranjestad (AUA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/aua/toronto-to-oranjestad) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Kelowna-Intl.d6033592.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [West Edmonton Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Edmonton-Mall-West-Edmonton.d501027.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Honolulu Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu.d1488.Destination-Travel-Guides)
