The location was great as it was close to shops, the view was amazing as we watched the sunset and waves on the ocean. The house was very neat and tidy and clean.
Fantastic stay! House is in such a nice location next to the main street and a short walk to the beach. Will be back again!

Really enjoyed the sunset!
Others liked having shops just around the corner.
The beach was only a few blocks away and easy access.
Would stay there again!
A beautifully designed house right near the beach and shops. Really clean. We would definitely go back.Only downside- you have to bring all your linen and doonas etc and lug it all home with you.

Great location, less than 5 minutes walk to main shopping strip. It had everything we needed as a family of 5. Gorgeous beach views from the living area, clean and tidy, well equipped.
Great holiday, house has a great view of the ocean and was a hop, step and jump to the Main Street, and a short walk up the road to the main beach. Some great board games supplied to keep the whole family entertained on wet days too! Perfect spot for a weekend or a longer stay!

We look forward to accommodating your family again.
Overall we were happy with the property. It was as is in the pictures. The location was fantastic it was so close to everything. We really enjoyed our stay and woild stay here again. The owner was great and easy to deal with.
This is our goto place whenever we come to Ocean Grove. It is modern, clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The views are amazing looking out towards Barwon River and the ocean and watching the sunset. It’s the perfect location right near the shops and restaurants and a short walk to the beach.
Suzanne is a great host who is always contactable.
It’s always relaxing and we look forward to staying here again soon.
Thoroughly enjoyed our time at the beach house. The house was well situated to supermarkets and eateries, and while the weather meant that we didn’t use the beach, we could still enjoy the view. Communication with the owner was excellent, and the check in process was seamless. The driveway is steep, and the garage is low (which is mentioned in the listing). Our standard Ute with a rack did not fit under, so be mindful of any vehicle that is slightly higher than standard. Small thing that was easily overcome, and should not hinder anyone wanting to stay at this wonderful property.
Excellent location, with good amenities. Well stocked for all activities. Highly recommend. Stayed with my patner and child and my sisters partner and child.
Located in the very centre of the Ocean Grove with 5 mins walk to the shopping street, yet very close to the main ocean beach. One of 6 units, based on top of the hill with a view on the ocean beach. Very spacious inside, has all amenities for a good break.
A superb accomodation! Great layout and furnishings, so comfortable, so close to the local restaurants and shops, a double garage and that water view makes this property an absolutely amazing place to stay. The check in process is easy and communication with Suzanne is fabulous.
I would definitely recommend this accomodation as a base to experience all that Ocean Grove and surrounding areas have to offer!! We had a fabulous time, and will definitely be back!!
