- What a lovely place. Better than the photos. Everything you could need for a family with kids to ensure an excellent stay. We booked on short notice and had a speedy response. Thank you. We will be back. Highly recommended.

- Lovely house, great place to stay, nice peaceful location. House is presented well, lovely and clean and comfortable.

- An outstanding residence that represents exceptional value for money. Conveniently located allowing you to visit both Sorrento and Portsea or the wineries. House is large yet cosy and provided ample space for our family.

- David's place was a fabulous place to stay. We were a group of 6, fantastic set up for groups or families. Very clean, great location 10min walk to the beach or a short drive to wineries. David was a great host very quick to respond. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

- Lovely house - perfect for families. The location is great - just a short stroll to the 16th beach at Rye. The house is lovely and has everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. We will definitely return here. Thank you David for your hospitality.

Lovely house
Excellent accommodation. Delightful outlook. Unfortunately difficult to walk to the back beach because of no footpaths and narrow road access making it unsafe. Nonetheless, we had a very happy time with three generations together. Thank you Barbara from Black Rock.

Nice home in a quiet location. Queen beds were comfortable. Single beds not really comfortable. Well appointed kitchen. Lots of decor items so property is not suited to families with younger children. Blocked toilet required 2 visits from plumber to rectify. You will need a car to visit the beach and sight-see from this property.

A Comfortable and clean house to stay
- A very simple and easy check in and out. - A very modern kitchen. - 2 single comfortable beds in one of the room for younger kids. {A bit too soft for adults) - It's enjoyable to walk to the 16 beach and watch the sunset. Overall very awesome play to stay. Thanks!

Quiet location and very comfortable
We booked this for 10 nights over Xmas and New Year for us and our two adult children. It was ideal for us because we have allergies in the family and they do not take pets. It is a bright and spacious home in a very quiet street with extremely comfortable beds and good quality furniture. The two bathrooms are very functional and having a bath was good. The kitchen was pleasant to cook in and was well stocked with pots, crockery etc. plus a dishwasher. We loved the big dining table for our dinners and board games and also used the deck a lot for evening meals. The little living room beside the kitchen was mostly used to lounge in chairs reading books or chatting to the cook. The house has air conditioning, a great refrigerator, washing machine and dryer all important for long stays. Mostly we dried our clothes on the washing line but dryer handy when we had rain. In terms of location it is away from the summer crowds and an easy walk to the beach although it is not patrolled. Also a coffee shop by the beach. It takes only about 10 mins to drive to either Sorrento or Rye which both have big supermarkets. The big carport takes two cars. We enjoyed riding our bikes around the Rye/Sorrento area. Overall we found the property to be very good value for this time of year and there was always good communication with the property manager.
