Sorrento as it was I the late 80’s, but good!
We loved this spot. Plenty of backyard for two legged and four legged pets. Comfy enough beds. Tech wise, the tv has a remote control for changing channel and other basic functions HDMI port is unfortunately on the blink. Overall very comfortable and uncomplicated. Muy lindo ranchito!

Fab location for a beach holiday
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was perfectly located for both the ocean and back beaches in the area as well as the general store - all within a few minutes walking distance. We used the outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and gas grill for every meal and the gardens were green, quiet and peaceful. The property itself is a little dated, and could do with some investment, but that said, it had a ‘much loved' vibe about it and was clearly once a very lovely family summer getaway. We would return.

Lovely relaxing weekend away
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When a planned earlier break was missed due to CoVid, the rental agency and landlords generously gave us a new weekend date without any financial penalties. This generous offer was unexpected but greatly appreciated. We found the house charming and comfortable and perfect for a bit of quiet downtime

very clean and comfortable has its good and bad points.
Says bring linen but not bath towels so we used our beach towels. Also no non slip mat in or out the shower. Bunk ladder not secured so our nine year old fell when she went to go up hurt herself hitting her head but was ok. there is no AIR CON only sealing fan in lounge area. no oven in the kitchen only wood one outside it was set up to use witch was great. great for our dogs lots of room to run. swing from tree was great for the kids. they responded quickly to hot water not working wind blue out pilot fixed next day. For the price you pay they should supply a cleaner to clean up as at the end of the week you really don't have energy left to clean a house for this reason i probably wouldn't stay again espeacially no air con.

Very average experience
The toilet blocked up as soon as we arrived and the shower only had cold water and despite four unanswered phone calls to the property manager it was never fixed. Then when we left we were blamed for blocking the toilet. None of us are smokers and someone must have walked a cigarette butt in on their shoe and the property managers kept our whole security bond as they said we smoked at the property. The house itself is ok but it is let down by the property managers.

Great outdoor spaces
We enjoyed this property and was clean and comfortable. In winter it was very cold with only a wood burner with no fan and a conventional plug in heater. We enjoyed pizza oven but did not have any oven inside. Overall would recommend. Perhaps update the tv?

Lovely Seaside Cottage
The cottage was comfortable and well designed to accommodate my family including my young grandchildren. We enjoyed the beautiful garden and spacious back yard with a gorgeous gazebo. Koonya beach is a short walking distance from Sorrento Garden Hideaway which has spectacular views and shallow rock pools.

Weekend Away
We really liked this place, big enough for a family of 4 or 5, spotlessly clean, in good condition and a nice location near the Koonya beach and store. The pizza oven in the back year was a nice feature. We might stay here again some time.
