Great location for a beach holiday with dogs
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is perfectly located for a dog friendly beach holiday. The backyard was perfect for our two dogs and the house is a short walk over the road and up the walking track to the designated off-leash beach.The house itself is a relaxed and spacious place, however it needs a few maintenance issues fixed. The mattresses on all four beds desperately need replacing, the cooktop range hood is not working (this is a major health issue with a gas cooktop), and the dishwasher was not working during our stay. We would be more than happy to stay in this property again if these issues are resolved.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love the town, love the house, love the location. The construction site next door was sub ideal. Site radio blaring all day, power tools screeching and buzzing. I get it - out of your control. Just took a bit away from the experience. Especially after the last couple of peaceful stays.Mozzies were in plague proportions. We couldn't spend 5 minutes outside without being swarmed even when coated with spray. Again - totally out of your control. Thanks christ we weren't camping.Back deck is rotting and falling apart. Bit of a safety hazard, especially with kids. Front deck starting to go too.Overall we love the house and had a great holiday. Just responding honestly. I'm sure we will be back regardless.

A tired property with a lot of potential
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was 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: Unfortunately there was a lot of issues for us with this property. However the problems are VERY easy fixes.The couches are so revoltingly stained and need replacing or at the bare minimum couch covers! The room with bunks stank of mould, we had to have the cleaner return to try and address it. It wasn’t able to be slept in the first night at all.Unfortunately the previous tenants did not clean the kitchen utensils or crockery and the kitchen drawers were full of crumbs and mess- it was very disappointing.I raised these issues on the day of check in and an alternate cleaner came around the next days and thankfully rectified what he could, which included a fairly deep clean of the kitchen. The property has a lot of potential and would be wonderful with some serious care and attention. The mattresses are also fairly aged, the stay would be much improved by new mattresses.Over all it served our purpose but we won’t be returning.There was also confusion with the property managers as I booked through and paid in full; then the management was chasing me to pay for the booking again. It took multiple phone calls for clarification to be provided and for me to stop receiving requests for additional payments. Key collection was very easy.

Great house with loads of potential!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was great, good size and location ideal, but unfortunately there was a few things that put a downer on our stay, on arrival our bins were full and very potent, had nowhere to place our own rubbish and we had booked for 10 days. We were charged a high cleaning fee when placing booking which would make one think the house would be spotless, unfortunately this was the opposite. The main bathroom is full of mould, tiles and floor look to have not been scrubbed in a very long time. The 3rd bedroom has mould on the wall opposite bathroom that’s been covered in bleach. There was cobwebs from the dining room light shade connecting to the dinning table, the back screen door needs replacing as it’s ripped and flies and mozzies just help themselves. There is a slight hazard with the decking out back where a rotten piece has collapsed. Other then these things we enjoyed our stay, although the neighbour across the road approached my son while intoxicated and expressed his tiredness of holidayers coming and going with their animals, so just be mindful of him, was quite an odd fellow. Did report him to the realestate. We wish to return in hopes these things are rectified.

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: The house was way better that expected and was very comfortable for my family and I. All the facilities we need and more. Especially like the front and rear deck and having a bath for our small children was a huge bonus. Open plan living room and lounge room created a very homely feel and was tastefully decorated. Excellent location for us, close to the beach, but far enough away from hussle of town centre. Will certainly be booking again next year. Thankyou

Our yearly reunion
Rating Details: The property manager was very 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 come every year to Sth West Rocks to catch up with family, stay in different places as we like the variety available. Beachcomber was very comfortable, close to beach access & the parks, we had a family day at Little Bay. The only change I would make to the property is single bunks instead of the trio bed, sharing with a grandchild is not easy!Anne - Bray Park Qld

The property was not quite what we expected from the photos. The beds were uncomfortable and need an upgrade and the bathroom was small. It is on a major road with traffic noise and it did not feel private. We had an issue with the curtains and blinds being covered in mould and so we had to cut our holiday short as we were unable to continue to stay at the property. Elders SWR were helpful and understood our concerns.

We found the property needs a good clean and the shower/bathroom was very mouldy. Unfortunately there were road works being done right out the front of the house which we weren't told about so our much needed getaway wasn't quiet and relaxing like we had hoped.

Would recommend
Great house at the end of a quiet street. Great for family and friends. Good for kids or if you have a dog. I didn't hear the neighbours dog bark once. It had most facilities that you need, including wifi, which was not advertised. The TV can't connect to the internet to watch Netflix unless if you add an external device of your own. It was a bit dusty in areas, the cleaners didn't do the best job, you could notice the blinds in particular had a lot of dust.

Everything you need for a relaxing stay
Clean, spacious house in a great location with the beach just over the road and a leafy 15-minute stroll into town. The house is roomy, with enough space for six adults, two babies and two dogs. The backyard is huge - heaps of room for the pups to run around and make friends with the local kangaroos. Kitchen was well stocked so we could enjoy cooking and eating around the large dining table. This place would be great for a weekend or a longer-term stay. We organised linen through Sue Rutten which was delivered to our door (we opted to make the beds ourselves to save cash but a handy service should you be time poor!). Would highly recommend using Sue's service as she was responsive, great value for money, and the linen was clean and of great quality.

4/10 Poor

Private

Avoid if you have dogs
The property is listed as pet friendly but it is located in a very non pet friendly location. Both neighbours have dogs & the third side is a wire mesh fence facing a vacant block with numerous holes under it. We had to use bins etc to block hole & it is definitely not secure. There were multiple kangaroos within 10m of the fence in the vacant block causing our dogs to bark which cause disturbances & sleepless nights. In general, the house was roomy but very basic. I would recommend avoiding this property if you have dogs.

Disappointed
I could not get rid of odour throughout the living areas. I could only open one window. Very uncomfortable furniture and bed was cheap and nasty. Looked good in pics online, but a very dusty and smelly house. I would not recommend this accommodation

Part2 of above "Definitely Worth It"
We actually stayed here January 2018 (the auto fill date options don't include 2018 when writing the review) We specifically chose this property because it is dog friendly and it is. Our little pooch loved it and loved being with us. A much happier arrangement than a boarding kennel. Ample backyard, great big back verandah and an outdoor shower for after the beach.Some small openings along side fence which we closed up by putting the bins there. Back Beach, Back Creek and most of Main Beach are dog friendly so your dog will really be able to join in on the family holiday.
