It is a great house in a great location right on the beach with everything you need. The communication was good. We had a problem with the gas which was fixed immediately We didnt realise there was so many stairs within the house. We coped ok with all the stairs but it would be a big problem for anybody with mobility problems

We enjoyed our stay at Illaroo Beach House, especially the easy beach access and the spa, which was a lovely bonus on colder days. The host was helpful and responsive. We stayed with grandparents, so the multiple levels and stairs were a bit inconvenient, and the hot water ran out after several showers. Overall, a comfortable stay in a great location.

Beachside Bliss

Loved hearing the waves all day and all night. Coming from Canberra, I miss that after growing up near the beach years ago. Illaroo is so close to everything, yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle. This place would be amazing for several guests or a family with plenty of space to kick back and relax. Being just me, I love having the space all to myself.

Great location on the dunes

Direct access to the beach from your private bush track. Peaceful, private and sheltered location. House is comfortable and well-equipped. The site is steep with lots of internal stairs which some might find challenging. We enjoyed our stay and are happy to recommend it to others. Would suit families with older children.

Weekender with Spa (by the sea and bush)

Spa was the highlight, being able to relax in the spa by the bush setting with complete privacy. Ultra quiet. Private style road leads to the entrance. Bed was comfy. Shower was great. About 2 min walk to beach with your own private beach access directly off the rear of the property. Coffee and shops only a quick 3 min drive away. Very easy access via lock box process.

Very peaceful, and can hear the ocean from inside the house! Kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked which is a massive bonus. The spa was amazing, the outdoor areas were great for reading or relaxing. Great location, perfect coastal hideaway but the local woolies is still only a 4 minute drive away. Only issue my group had was the hot water in the bathrooms played up, but Professional Holiday Homes were very helpful in sorting out the issue. Overall, loved it, would stay again, the house was beautiful!

Amazing Holiday home

Illaroo is very well managed and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed with extended family and were pleased the location and accuracy of the listing. It was very clean and well maintained. We stayed in June and even though there is central heating, every room had additional heaters to make the stay comfortable. The views are amazing and its barely a few mins walk to the beach. You can spot milky way on a clear winter night. We did some amazing astrophotography. Only thing we missed was a outdoor fire pit. Overall very happy with the Illaroo and hope to return back soon.

Dear Sowmya, we are delighted you loved this lovely holiday home with it's well appointed rooms and furnishings making it great place for everyone to relax and unwind. First impressions matter, we understand the importance of ensuring a clean house on arrival, so happy to hear we met your expectations. It's even better you loved the exceptional ocean views and being minutes from the beach be a great way to enjoy the soothing sounds of waves along the shoreline. What a perfect way to spend your evenings taking snaps of the vast milky-way stars with astrophotography. Hopefully you can visit the south coast again soon for another memorable stay with Professional Holiday Homes.

Great - But….

Nice home, beach is very accessible, more than enough activities to do on site. Not a great selection of takeaway places nearby. When the heating gets sorted I would rate this as excellent. The portable heaters were ok but really need to be improved on. We stayed in the first week of July. Otherwise it was great!

Response from VrboOwner on 29 July 2022
Thanks for the awesome review, and for choosing to stay with us. We’re delighted you had a great time. For takeaway options there are Food and more, sun sun chinese, burra beach eats, Grumpy Joes, Italian Bambino's Pizza, 2 bakeries and the local Bowling club bistro and cafe. As you're on the beach front, you're not right in town, so you'd need to drive a few minutes to the shops. Located in the main living/dining room is a reverse cycle air-conditioner/heater. Each bedroom and the TV room at the front of the house have a ceiling fan and an electric heater to ensure you will be comfortable throughout your stay.

Simply stunning!

This house is amazing! We spent a very short weekend here - 4 adults and 2 kids, and it was perfect for all of us. Unfortunately it rained all of Saturday and we were very comfortable lazing around the house and chilling in the outdoor spa (we brought our own gazebo as there is no shelter). There was lots of space, we never once felt cramped or that we were on top of each other. We wanted for absolutely nothing! Everything was provided from linen, bath towels, extra pillows & blankets, outdoor cushions, books, loads of board games, a Wii + games, loads of DVD's & CD's for the kids, table tennis, bikes, beach toys and a kitchen that has everything you can think of +++. The booking agents were amazing. Very responsive, very friendly, helpful & pleasant to deal with. There was construction work on the house next door, but we must have lucked out as we heard them for about 15 mins on the Friday arvo and that was it, so no issue at all! Very happy, just wish we had stayed longer.....

Great getaway spot

The place was great for a getaway spot, we had a wonderful time. Had an issue with the hot tub during our stay we were disappointed we wouldn't get to use it, we called the property manager who was so helpful and had someone out to fix it so we could still use during our stay. Highly recommend 'Professional Holiday Homes'.
