Urchin Beach Cottage
The cottage suited our needs and in a great location. The beds were comfy with nice linen. Felt the cleaner could have done a better job. The timber venetian blinds need attention and the bedside table in the 2nd bedroom needed to be cleaned, as with the windows also the door to the back porch. Regardless, I would stay again. . thbacpirchnerdneedeayyentionclewning

Urchin Beach Cottage
Neat and clean with all amenities. There is no power-point in the bathroom, though, which meant that hair-drying had to be done in the bedroom, which is not ideal.

Good overall
Good location and nice house however it does need some maintenance. The hot and cold taps in the shower and bath are the opposite (cold tap is actually hot) so I nearly burnt myself with that, the power socket for the microwave hangs loose from the wall so that needs fixing otherwise is great. Could use a little modernisation with some wifi but otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much.

Urchin cottage
We had a beautiful relaxing 7 nights here and could easily have stayed longer. The cottage had everything you could need and more. It is in a great location close to everything and is nice and quiet, you can hear the ocean from the back of the house. It was in easy walking distance to a dog friendly beach. We never take for granted being able to stay somewhere so fabulous with our fur babies, thank you so much.

Sweet and Spacious
Urchin Cottage was a comfortable and spacious accommodation close to most things you would want to visit in Esperance. It was very clean upon arrival, with fresh linen for all of us. A short drive from the town centre, with a beach and an IGA a short walk away. Sean and Sharon were easy to contact and dealt with a minor issue promptly. We had a very relaxed stay, it was just what we needed!

Well where to start Long list of things to do (clean up, to do and don’t do, small milk carton of milk, take sheets off bed) Dust on window slates, mould in bathroom, toilet moves, a/c doesn’t work, kitchen window won’t close. Would not recommend or would not stay here again. Cushions are flat as. No wifi, no toiletries had to buy our own.

Lovely escape in Esperance
We had a lovely few days in Esperance, the weather at this time of year helped. We could walk into the shopping area, and the information left by the hosts gave us plenty of options for tourist activities. Excellent communication with the host and the house was as exactly as described. Plenty of room, good facilities, great heating, and super fast hot water. Great to have a drier at this time of the year.

We grew up in Esperance, travelled away and returned to live in Esperance. We love the beaches and the environment in and around Esperance , we are water people and love the beaches, if you want information about beaches, surfing, fishing, 4W Driving, we are happy to share.

Why they chose this property

Urchin Beach Cottage was one of the original cottages of Esperance, has had some interesting history of ownership in the Goldfields and to Esperance residents. We bought and renovated the cottage enough to start short term holiday rental.

What makes this property unique

Urchin Cottage is a lovely Cottage, it has that homely relaxed beach house feel. It has lovely old Jarrah floors and has had renovations to make it more comfortable over the years. We love that we can offer this accommodation to guests and they can have their dogs come to stay with them, with a dog beach within 2 minutes walk of the cottage.
