Elwood house rentals

We had 3 families needing a place to stay whilst there was a youth regatta at the local sailing club. This house was in a great location where kids (14 - 17 years) could ride their bikes or walk down the beach to the sailing club. The adults could spread out in different areas in the house. The kids enjoyed having their own space with a playstation, couch and bunk beds upstairs. Albert, the owner, was available when we locked ourselves out and gave us some flexibility with check in and check out times. We had a lovely stay.

Excellent and clean apartment within walking distance to Elwood main street and beach. We would book here again.

Very comfortable and well set up, with informative and helpful hosts. We had a lovely time.

Perfect for access to all we needed to do nice and quiet. Great plave to chill out and relax. Very cosy.

Cosy and comfortable, felt like home, with books, paintings on the walls, and pretty little garden both front and back. Really nice to come back to after a day out.

Enchanting capacious old house that easily accommodated a large extended family group of 4 separate adults and two primary school age children. In very cold weather, the heating was excellent/cosy. For such a large number of bedrooms (6), this house is short of bathrooms, having only one main bathroom (no bath), and one small ensuite bathroom attached to one of the bedrooms that had a king size bed. Good kitchen, great backyard for children to kick a soccer ball around. Fabulous and interesting art work throughout the house. Great location for walking around Elwood and St Kilda, particularly close access to the beach and St Kilda Botanic Gardens. Also easy access to city trams on Brighton Road. Local supermarket just a short walk away. Would definitely book this dear old property again, and would be great in any weather/season.

Beautiful home that is so ‘Melbourne’. Perfect location thats a quick walking distance to St Kilda main street, restaurants, bars, tram system. Extremely comfortable beds. We had 6 guests stay and always felt there was plenty of space of all of us. Very warm and cosy on the cooler days. No negatives to share, we all absolutely adored this home and would definitely try use again for our future melbourne trips!

Well located and property matched description. However there is no parking, all street parking and very difficult to find a spot at night.When we arrived we found the aircon had been set at 16c by the previous occupant and it did not cool the lounge area. Bedrooms were OK. Upon inspection it appeared as if the main unit had not been serviced for a very long time, filters were clogged with leaves and debris. Also needs a regas. Contacted Property Manager who was suggesting that we were not operating it correctly. Took 3 emails before service person arrived, then it still did not work properly. The service man set it at 20c, however it did not cool enough, so it was back to 16c. Still unable to cool room.Upon reflection it appears as if the unit is simply too small to cool the large lounge/TV room as well as lack of service.Lounge suite was covered in a white fabric which is totally unsuitable for a rental as it was dirty and discoloured. Not a good look.Shower upstairs had only a very small shower head and was in the bath, so difficult to get in and out of.Other than that property met all expectations. For the price we considered it expensive when everything was not perfect.
