Fabulous location, great little beach house.
Posted Apr. 22, 2024 on HomeAwayWe stayed for four nights and loved it.
Ok, first the negatives, The steps inside are a real challenge for those with mobility issues, my knees were playing up, so I had to spend my time in the house in the bedroom because of those stairs, but we were out and about most of the time so it wasn't that big a deal but it would have been nice to spend more time in the lounge room with that fabulous view. The lights are very dim, the bed is very hard, leaving me with a sore back in the mornings, the WiFi died a couple of times but came back on its own 20 minutes later.
Now for the good points, it's a fabulous location, right across from the beach, you can hear the waves crashing from every room of the house, just down the road from lovely Apollo Bay. We had great communication with Jim and he offered us an early check in after an early departure. He sent very comprehensive instructions for getting there and everything else we would need, he's obviously been at this for a while. Good WiFi which is handy because mobile coverage is poor. Great bedside tables, the bedside lamps are great and easily accessible, AC recommended settings were amusing 😉 great kitchen, undercover carport right next to the house, washing machine and drier, great TV, well used guide book to the area and the most comprehensive collection of appliance manuals I've ever seen, there is a wood fire with wood supplied which we didn't need to use, but it would be nice in winter.

Always value feedback Peter, and thanks for your balanced review :). Just a reminder I informed you of the 2 steps between the living area and the rest of the house when you enquired, but sorry to hear they ended up a challenge for you. Always hard to please everyone regarding lights and beds but we have taken your feedback onboard. Glad to hear we have hit the mark with all the other areas and we got the five stars in the end! Cheers for now!

Perfect beach house
Posted Mar. 11, 2024 on HomeAwayThis was by far the best beach house we have stayed at. House was immaculate in cleanliness. You can hear and see the ocean from the front porch. It was a 2min walk across the road to the beach and the kids loved exploring the rock pools. The 5min drive into Apollo Bay town was not a bother at all.
Thank you Jim and Fiona, the perfect hosts.

Beach Break 2024
Posted Mar. 11, 2024 on HomeAwayOnce again a lovely time away, so close to the beach, comfortable and convenient. (Sad to see it up for sale though perhaps new owners will stay with STAYZ.)
Thanks again for a lovely space to refresh and relax.
