Property was better than anticipated. It had everything that we required and was great for a weekend away. It is very close proximity to Sorrento shops and the checkin process and all communication was seamless.

Perfect location
Beaches-Sorrento provided the perfect spot for a 3 night minibreak over the Grandfinal weekend. Location was great as close to attractions of the main street and beach. The house was perfect for our stay being very comfortable, clean and well furnished. The weather was a bit on the cool side but the combustion heater was lit for us on arrival and kept us warm and provided the cheery ambience that only a wood fire can achieve.
We will definitely be back for another stay.

This is a lovely property within easy walking distance of the town of Sorrento. The location could not have been more perfect. Every consideration has been made for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thanks so much!
What a beautiful spot. The house was so well presented, neat, clean, so close to the beach and shops. Cheryl our host was fantastic, always in contact, provided to our requests and the house had everything you would want. Thank you Cheryl will definitely come back and recommend your place to family and friends.

Thank you for being a great guest Althea. We would love to see you back.
Overall property showing signs of aging. Mould in bathroom not great. Towels hard ...beds...generally ok but one guest could feel springs of mattress so maybe new mattress or mattress topper recommended. Back deck great and location great.

Cheryl’s property was just perfect for our two week stay. Check-in was simple, communication A1 from start to finish - we couldn’t have hoped for a better property owner!
The house itself is fantastic, with two comfortable living zones, large bedrooms (the KS bed is always a major factor for us!) and a functional kitchen. We absolutely loved the deck and spent most nights out there having drinks and dinner, either with friends or just us… watching the sun disappear behind the trees on the ocean beach horizon was superb.
Wifi access was seamless, and Netflix a welcome feature, our 12yo daughter was especially pleased!
And can we talk about the location?! Wowzers, it was even better than we thought, a 3 minute stroll to the main Sorrento shopping strip, yet super quiet as the property is tucked away at the bottom of the block. Close enough that - when we had visitors with kids - we had no issues with the 12yos walking up to get an ice cream. It was just brilliant.
Thanks again for a wonderful stay, Cheryl, we hope to be returning again very soon!

Thank you for such a wonderful review Julia. We are so pleased that your stay in Sorrento was great. That is heartening for us too. We hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Cheryl
This was our second stay at this property. We enjoyed the location so much the first time we decided to come back. The main shopping strip is at the end of the street so you can walk to everything - shops, cafes and beach. The house itself is very comfortable and we always make good use of the wood heater which is a treat in the middle of winter.
What a beautiful spot. A very short walk to the heart of Sorrento, short drive to Portsea and Point Nepean. The house was well presented and clean. Cheryl our host was in contact and everything as you would want it.
