Upstair's rooms were clean and were well stocked with necessities.Upstairs was very good. Granny flat downstairs was not as well presented. Granny flat's outside area was unclean and so, not utilised which was a shame. Downstair's cooking pots and pans need updating so we tended to bring down some from upstairs and use those.

Spacious Serenity : Atmosphere to Reset, unwind and rejuvenate.

This combination of spaciousness, natural beauty, and the invigorating sea breeze makes it an idyllic spot for relaxation, recreation, and social activities. It’s a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, where one can appreciate the simple pleasures of nature.Seaside Walkways:** Beautiful promenades line the shore, ideal for leisurely strolls. The sound of waves crashing can be heard as you walk, enhancing the relaxing environment.The property offers a fantastic setup with spacious rooms and effective air conditioning, ensuring that residents and guests can enjoy comfortable temperatures year-round. The layout promotes privacy and personal space, allowing everyone to take time out for themselves. Unfortunately, there was an issue with noise from the neighbors behind us. Their disturbances were disrespectful, particularly for those who were trying to enjoy their recreational time. The sound can negatively affect the atmosphere, disrupting the otherwise serene vibe of the space.Despite the noise issue, the property itself sounds ideal for those seeking a comfortable and spacious living environment. With proactive approaches, it's possible to enhance the communal experience for everyone involved.

Fantastic location and perfect for families

This is the second time we, two families of four with two adults and two children around 6 and 8 years, have stayed at Tom's place. The location is excellent, close to everything, walking distance to cafes, beaches, playground and boardwalk. The house is spacious and well equipped (we could not find the coffee machine though so if that is important to you perhaps check with the owners before you arrive). The beds are comfortable. There is so much space for the kids to play at the front and the back, upstairs and downstairs. Unfortunately when arrived the placed hadn't been cleaned as the cleaner was sick and there was a bit of mix up but the owner Tom made a special visit to the island to clean the house for us and he gave us access to the laundry to get our linen. The other two times we have stayed the house was immaculately presented upon arrival. We were financially retributed for the inconvenience caused. We all love this place and will definitely stay there any chance we get.

Great for our needs

Well-equipped house, easy to enjoy all that Straddie has to offer. Excellent when it comes to owners. We were not impressed by how Stayz online listing is missing several key points of information that were only included in an emailed document titled RentalAgreement. Other rental agencies we used in past on Straddie match what is written online and what is in their rental agreement, thus preventing misunderstandings and possible visitor disappointment if you happen not to notice the attached document.

Just spent a week at Tom’s with four kids and the house had a great set up with plenty of rooms, self contained granny flat downstairs and the bonus of having ducted air con. House was very clean and all beds comfortable. Easy walk to beach and grocery store and plenty of kangaroos to see! Good time enjoyed by all.

This is the second time we have stayed at this house and we all love it. Two families each with two children and a dog fit perfectly and it’s a great place to spend time when we’re not out exploring the island. Last time we forgot to order linen and the owners were absolutely amazing in helping us organize this. We hope to return again next year.

Easy to walk to Cylinder Beach, the Pub, the Gorge Walk & Main Beach, as well as just up the road from the Foodworks - very convenient. We had a great stay!!

Thanks for having us Tom, we had a lovely stay at point lookout. Well catered for us with the baby and both sets of grant parents and our dog. All though the dog got out the first night at the back so you might have to consider fencing the back in better if you allow bigger dogs on the property.
