House was not very clean with dust/dog hair, had a musty smell which was better with opening the doors and windows although the back bedroom windows couldn't be opened. Shower had black mold and laundry sink needed a good scrub. No clean brooms or mops to clean up with, kitchen table and chairs needed washing as did the plates cups cutlery, coffee machine had left over moldy coffee pods. House really needs a good spring clean and going over inside and out. Ocean views as promised was our only highlight.

Guests booked 7 day Easter to get the week discount and stay 5 day, change plan as Wheher is not good, left 2 day early, ask for refund, which is against the Vrbo refund policy. after refund request being refused, then the revenge start there. Everything is not right then, The shower has no mold and We just checked, the shower is clean before guests moved in, but after 4-5 guests stayed for 5-6 days without daily clean, the dirts on the shower floor is not mold. House floor has been vacuum cleaned, It is Pet friendly house, even after clean, You may still find some pet hairs under the bed or corner somewhere, Chair and table are cleaned, but not water washed and sink is cleaned, but not polised.

Portarlington Festival Weekend

Unfortunately we had terrible weather, but the house was clean, comfortable beds with plenty of extra blankets, great views of the ocean and lovely and quiet. Plus it was close to the festival, but not too close. property manager was great and let us check in early and was contactable the whole time we were there.

Christmas at Indented Head

Excellent location. House very comfortable and well appointed- although there could have been a couple of bigger cooking pots. Also third bed could have been made up. The owner was very easy to contact. We will have no hesitation in recommending this property to others.

Comfortable beach Shack

This property has everything you need to be comfortable however it could use a little TLC. Plenty of games for kids and the polished were easy to clean. The location and view were Fantastic and the neighbours were great. We loved sitting on the porch and taking it all in. The outdoor shower was very handy to wash off after a swim. In all, we we had a great holiday and would go back stay again.

Great location but house a bit run down

The view is amazing and it is about a 25m walk to the beach. The house was well equipped, and the host was very accomodating. It was great to be able to take our two dogs and have them safe, there was even a long lead to tie them up on the verandah out the front. What is not shown in the photos is that the house is in need of a bit of TLC. Only some windows opened, the bathroom is quite tired with stains in the shower and a few tiles coming away.

It has great views of the sea and across to Melbourne. The full moon rising on a clear night is awesome.Its also close to a small boat ramp for boating enthusiasts.It has a good secure backyard for pets. The house is easy to clean and has an effective air conditioner in the front living areas and comfortable seating.Plenty of bedding. Host is approachable and easy to contact.

Location, location

Perfect location right in front the beach and walking/biking trail in a not busy and quiet at night area which is perfect for relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped, the addition of a pool, air hockey and soccer tables is great to entertain the kids on a rainy day. The WiFi is stong and Netflix worked flawlessly on the tv (good size too).The backyard is big enough and well fenced for dogs. (please note that there is no swimming pool as listed on the website)Overall a very good experience, communication with Li was excellent and flawless. Maybe the only downside would be the shower and toilet could do with a bit of freshen up.

5 star view , but a 3 star property

Great view across Port Phillip Bay. Front entrance ramp needs a rail . Only towels were provided and they were in one of the bedrooms in amongst other bedding. The main bedroom did not have a fan and we couldn’t open the windows. The wardrobe space was lacking in the other 2 bedrooms. There were no hand towels or tea towels.The beds were comfortable .
