Michaela was a delight to host and left our home clean and tidy. We highly recommend her to other hosts.
This was our second time staying at this property. Very relaxing, lovely garden and million dollar views.
My little dogs loved the garden and watching the activity on the street.
We’ll be back!

Thank you for your 2nd stay Kay and you and your darling Scotties are our star visitors. So pleased the weather was kind too. Thank you so much for leaving our unit immaculately clean and tidy. Please come back again soon! Cheers Jennifer
Probably the best holiday place I've ever stayed at. It's like the owners have studied every annoyance in a holiday rental and created a place that fixes every single thing. Every possible need has been anticipated and provided for. The vibe is kind and welcoming. The view is seriously million-dollar. Thank you so much for letting us stay in this beautiful place.

It was an absolute pleasure to host you and your family Fleur. So pleased you got some great weather and thank you for leaving everything so beautifully clean and tidy. Please hurry back! Cheers Jennifer
I stayed at this place for 4 weeks and it was my home away from home. Everything was there that you needed and I settled in very quickly. The area was easy to learn about and so many things were in walking distance (the pub and the shops). There were some days I didn't even have to use the car. The deck area was brilliant and I took so many photos of sunsets!!! Being there for an extended time I really appreciated the excellent laundry facilities. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Sally.
Lovely quiet unit overlooking the water which was so relaxing. Decor very pleasant and spotlessly clean. Host had left a bottle of champagne for us to enjoy. Only complaint was garbage had not been taken out and very unpleasant smell when we first arrived. Once we found the problem all was fine as we put it in the bin outside. Would certainly go back.
A great little place to getaway for a weekend. Lovely, clean and fresh with everything you could need. Views of the bay and afternoon sun to soak up on the deck. Right opposite Fisherman's Beach, perfect for walking over to and watching the sunset with the dog. A short walk into Mornington centre where there are plenty of places to eat, drink and shop. Lots of provisions for the dog too (bowls, toys, bed, blanket, towel etc.). It is on the coastal road so a fair bit of road noise but it quietens down at night. Street parking only, which was easy at the time of year we stayed but might be trickier when it gets busy over summer.
I would definitely stay here again, lovely place.

The property was very nice but I was not able to contact the owner, the VRBO website would say contact owner and when I tried it took me to the rebooking page.
I wanted to thank the owner for letting me have a late checkout and tell her I had vacuumed and cleaned bathroom. The cleaner hadn’t done a very good job. Very dusty.

Hi Dianne
Thank you for staying and we are very sorry to hear that the site didn’t allow you to contact me.
This problem has now been addressed with VRBO who appears to have had an issue with their platform.
We are always pleased to give early check ins or late checkouts where we can.
I’m sorry you felt the cleaning wasn’t up to standard and we have let the cleaner know so we maintain our high standards for guests to enjoy.
Thank you for staying and hope to see you again. Regards Jennifer
Great experience hosting Paul and family. They looked after our Beach Front Haven and communicated how much they enjoyed their stay. Highly recommended to other hosts and very welcome back any time.
We had a lovely, relaxing stay. The unit was perfect for our needs, and our puss was welcome. The outlook from the lounge-room over the water was beautiful, and the sunsets were magnificent. Although the main road in front is noisy during the day, it was silent at night.
The heating and all the amenities were excellent, we were a pleasant 15 minute walk from the main shopping centre.
Our host, Jennifer, was excellent with her communications - prompt, helpful and generous.
We would love to stay here again. Thank you for a lovely break.
The property was immaculate and very welcoming to our little Jack Russell.
Location was excellent and property manager very accomodating.

It was a pleasure to host Priya, her Mother and their well behaved dog Bliss again. They left our unit very clean and tidy and we would welcome them back any time.
I had a beautiful and relaxing time at the property, it had amazing amenities, perfect location.
Fantastic, amazing extra little touches, treats, toys and bedding for my dog. Great quality toiletries which you wouldn’t expect at such an amazingly laid out property, literally a stone throw to a beautiful beach. I’d stayed in another property that cost more with half the amenities and further from the beach, restraunt’s etc. The owner was excellent and very responsive and accommodating. Top of my list fir stats in Mornington. Until next time. Judy abs Stevie (the Pooch).

Lovely to host you Judy and so pleased you both had a comfortable stay.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Everything was clean and well presented.
All basic necessities were generously offered.
Only concern was that neither bathroom or toilet
had blinds..so a lack of privacy as the back units
could see inside at night when the lights were on.
Unloading and Reloading the car was difficult as we could not even park in front of the garage. Had to carry and place items on the nature strip.
Loved the view and location. Would like to rent again if these little things are attended to.
Liked the owner too. She was very friendly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable. We appreciated her thoughtfulness.

Glad we could accommodate Sandra and her daughter and provide some extra care. The guests were very pleasant and their dog friendly, sweet and didn’t cause any damage. The unit was left tidy with thanks.
Always appreciate feedback. The bathroom and toilet windows are fully frosted for privacy and to allow natural light. The laundry window has curtains. Guest parking is plentiful, free and unrestricted directly outside the units - as required by the owners corporate. Guests find this most convenient.
Best wishes to Sandra and her daughter for 2022.
The house was very secure for our 2 Cavies which was the most important thing for us. They enjoyed their stay 🐶
The layout was very relaxing with beautiful views of the bay. Anywhere you relax in the house there’s a view of it. Plenty of room and comfortable. Loved the vibe of Main Street and surroundings.
We will definitely come back for a longer stay.
Although the weather was horrible, this was the perfect get-away. The house was comfortable and very well setup. On the day we arrived, there was a break in the rain and we were able to sit outside on the deck and enjoy the view. Even when it rained, it was lovely to take in the sea and the sky from the comfort of indoors. Our host was helpful and the location was handy to the beach and shops. It was unfortunate that we couldn't park on the property and we had an experience of someone driving up behind us as we indicated and parked on the road. However, they woke up in time and swerved away, so no problem! It was an extremely relaxing and enjoyable stay.
Couldn’t fault. Perfect for dogs and many homely comforts!

Adele and her family were great house guests. They were easy to communicate with and left our Beach Haven at Mornington clean and tidy. I would highly recommend them to other hosts and would be happy to have them stay again in the future.
We were impacted by a power blackout which was scheduled to last 3-4 days. Jennifer the owner was so helpful and took our booking at very short notice.
Great place and we will be back

About the host
Your host
Our family have had the pleasure of being in Mornington for over 40 years and love giving others the opportunity to experience this gem of a property overlooking Port Phillip Bay.
Why they chose this property
Mornington is about an hour’s drive from Melbourne and is a gem for all the right reasons. Beach, cafes, restaurants, shops, parks, sporting events, it’s got the lot - but proudly we can say our views and vibe are second to none!
What makes this property unique
The views, the position, the amenity and that home away from home vibe where every need is thought of and accommodated.
