Smell on arrival appeared to be coming from a very dirty oven. The home was reasonably clean but not to a high standard, with marks on the walls.Good location and easy communication with the property manager.Overall, an okay stay, but cleanliness and maintenance need improvement.

Quiet comfort

Well appointed overall. Things we'd like - stronger bed reading lights and air-con in main bedroom. Otherwise, a perfect spot for a quiet getaway.

When we arrived on Friday the dishwasher was full of dishes had not been placed back into cupboard Bathrooms were very dirty and did not look like anyone had cleaned before we arrivedThe deadlock front door key system is cumbersome as whoever stays home needs to be locked in otherwise they have to be up to let anyone else in.

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: Back in Edithburgh again. It was a very last minute decision to return to Edithburgh following time on the Eyre Peninsula. Absolutely no problem in getting this organised on a Friday ahead of our Sunday arrival through Dee and Sharon of Accommodation on Yorkes. This was our first stay in Blue Door Retreat. It's more than we need but we got to spread out & enjoy some extra space. Very comfortable & quiet. We will be back! And we would only ever use Accommodation On Yorkes for our arrangements.

Nice house, but lacked some attention.

Property presented well. Clean, other than oven. Not properly cleaned. Happy with location, communication and house itself. Not happy no fridges were turned on prior to arrival. Nor hot water system ready. Gas was not turned on, or any instructions on how to do so. If you know tenants are coming, cleaners or owners should attend beforehand and prepare property. It is the small things that count and make it slightly personable.

Vella family stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: overall it was great accommodation, it was well presented, in a great location. Although it was clean it could do with a deep clean. We had to clean the toy box and disinfect the toys as it was full of mouse poo which showed it hadn't been cleaned in awhile. I was warned about the mouse issue beforehand there was no evidence of mice except toy box so good job overall.

This property can really accommodate 2 families as there is a kitchen and small lounge upstairs plus toilet, bathrooms and shower upstairs. The backyard is ok for small to medium sized dogs and they are fully enclosed so no chance of them escaping. Although this looks like a townhouse it is infact quite spacious and i am guessing next door is a mirror image.

Dated

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property would have been amazing once upon a time. Sadly it has not kept up with the times. With no pergola out the back, the sun makes it a hot box, BBQ can only be used by lining it with baking paper first, spiders and cobwebs throughout the house made it look like it'd been empty for a while... Plenty of beds though which is what we needed and a big dining table inside to match. But the kitchen felt a bit small for the amount of people the home accommodated. Needs a little TLC.

The Rental staff were exceptional in making the booking possible and were friendly, very helpful and patient!The accommodation was clean and in a good location, with plenty of seating and dining needs for 8.

Three double beds and 2 singles (bunks). TV doesn't have WiFi, and will need and extension cord if u need access to power points in bedroom. As High fences for dog. Nice walking path along water close by.

Excellent Getaway

My Partner and I absolutely adored the Blue Door Retreat in Edithburgh. The property was clean, central to the town, near the beach and was the perfect size for the two of us. We loved the layout, the open spaces and the outside area for our morning coffees. We will be returning the next time we are down in Yorkes and have already started recommending this place to our friends and family too! Thank you for providing the most amazing space for our getaway :)

Good beach house

Slightly out of the main street of Edithburgh close to the small fishing jetty, this is a pretty good property. It would suit one family only as the bed lay-out in the two bedrooms is a bit odd. A great place to stay and we appreciated them letting us have pets there! Recommended.
