Nice short stay at this property

Property was lovely and definitely in the right spot with access to the beach. I think it has failed to mention that the only access to the rear of the property is through the bedrooms which is disruptive and evasive. Other than that, would suit a small group and has everything you need.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 22 June 2023
Hi Amy, firstly, thanks for your wonderful review. Access to the back patio is via either the front door or the laundry door which lead down the sides of the house to the back patio. Saying that, both of the rear bedrooms (as shown on the floor plan) have wonderful, direct access to the back patio to enjoy the amazing smell of the sea air and hear the waves crashing!

Relaxing beach get away with our dog

We had a truly relaxing stay in this lovely cottage. Lovely big fenced backyard for our dog to run around in, a short walk to beautiful dog friendly beach which we all enjoyed immensely. The cottage is well appointed and tastefully decorated. Beds are comfortable. Being a cottage, the interior living space is on the smaller side, but the big pergola and deck/veranda at the back of the property make up for that.

Overall great location

I was a little disappointed that the lack of drainage made it so the verandah was flooding & muddy. The fire pit was full of water when I arrived which made it not accessible. But overall a clean property & great location.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 June 2023
Hi Sarah, thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately during your stay we had some of the heaviest rain we have seen here in a long time, so even though the property has a wonderful undercover area it was impossible for the back patio to stay fully dry. Saying that, we have never had a guest report this issue in the last six years. The fire pit will fill up in rain as we store it outside. Our guests usually simply tip out the water onto the grass. The shed is full of dry wood, firelighters and kindling to enjoy the fire pit. Such a pity you didn't tip out the water :( Thanks for staying with us at Sunbaker.

Great location, loud neighbours

The house was a great location with a very short walk to the beach. There is also a great cafe, Fishwicks, just a couple of minutes walk away. Majority of the house was clean, with adequate towels/linen/pantry basics but some stains on the couch from previous guests was not pleasant. The neighbours on one side were incredibly loud until 2-3am both nights of our stay and the neighbour on the other side spent about 2 hours leaf blowing next to the window the other night. This is not under the control of the property but if we knew it wasn’t such a quiet place we wouldn’t have stayed.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the fantastic location, easy beach access, and nearby café. It’s great to hear that the house was mostly clean and well-equipped with towels, linen, and pantry basics. We apologize for the stains on the couch and will ensure this is addressed with our cleaning team. As for the noise from neighbors, while we do our best to provide a peaceful environment, external factors like nearby residents’ activities are unfortunately beyond our control. We appreciate your perspective and will take it into account for future guest expectations. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to a quieter stay in the future!

Our approach to property management is that we want you to feel that the property is your own for a few days.

What you will get from us are well equipped, fairly priced, pet and family friendly holiday homes that are loved by their owners.

We work in a people business and very infrequently things go wrong - if this happens we will do our best to rectify the situation immediately. In busy periods it may take us a few hours to get to messages so picking up the phone is the fastest and best way for us to provide you with the support you need in an urgent situation.
