Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
The location of the property was fantastic, and the free use of the kayaks and stand up paddle boards was amazing. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives - especially for the price paid for the stay. On arrival, we found the dishes and cutlery to be covered in old food. The fridge was greasy, and the pantry shelves needed a wipe over before we could put our food in. There were lolly and snack wrappers throughout the house, in the drawers, cupboards and on the floor of the alfresco area. One of the knobs on the outdoor oven was missing, so we were unable to use it. There was no coffee maker as listed in the amenities of the property (also shown in the photos). The only childrens game provided was an old Jenga set, and we ran out of toilet paper day 3. We also never received check in details and but I suspect that is the fault of this booking site, not the host.Overall it was a disappointing stay, despite the brilliant location.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Dec 2025
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and for highlighting the fantastic location of the property, as well as the complimentary use of the kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. We’re also pleased to hear that the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable during your stay.
That said, we are genuinely sorry that several aspects of your experience did not meet expectations particularly given the standard we aim to provide. The cleanliness issues you described are not acceptable, and we sincerely apologise for this. As discussed with you privately, this has been escalated with our cleaning team, as they clearly fell short on this occasion. We are taking immediate steps to ensure this does not happen again.
Regarding check-in details, these are normally sent automatically prior to arrival, so it is very unusual that you did not receive them. While we suspect this may have been a system or booking-platform issue, we understand how frustrating this would have been and apologise for the inconvenience caused.
We will chase up the outdoor oven knob as we had not been notified of this.
We truly appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us improve, and we regret that your stay did not live up to what should have been a much better experience especially in such a beautiful location.
