Host was clear about the place, all full ammenities in good condition and working, very clean, bright happy and a relaxing place. Good vibes throughout our stay. Spacious enough, the location was more than perfect, close to beach, small shops/food strip - couldnât fault it!
We had a great stay at Marks place. Great location for walking to both beaches 4 and 5 for beach walks and sunsets. House had everything we needed (including aircon on the 40 degree day). Thanks for a great stay Mark!
The house was exactly what we needed for 5 adults and 3 small kids plus doggo. Clear instructions were left with info on house things. Loads of couch space, table etc for everyone to relax. Beds were fine. The only suggestion we have for the owner is perhaps a safety rail on the top bunk bed, but thats it. We absolutely loved it and if the oppertunity arises, will definitly stay again.
Great house, quirky and welcoming. The house has everything you need! Our two dogs loved it, great area to walk as limited traffic.We would stay again for sure
Within walking range of beaches, bright and vibrant interior, maintained facilities and overall roomy. Each room is well lit by windows that allow generous amounts of sunlight and provides warmth during the day in winter. Good place to stay all year round with something to offer for every season.
We had a lovely getaway and the house is very comfortable and thoughtfully furnished. Itâs also got a great feel and decor. King bed very comfortable. Easy access and garden for dogs. And good air conditioning in the living area. Thanks for helping with keys!
Host provided very good instructions for everything, living space was great for 8 people and large deck. Just few small things that could be good a couple of extra chairs (sleeps 8 so 8 seats at dining table would be good) There was a lot of stuff on tables and side boards etc so we had to move things around to have places for groceries etc. The driveway could use a big cut back to fit larger cars / boats (Everest and 5mt alum for ref)
The house was open and airy,, everything was clean and tidy. The mermaid theme in the house was very cute and there was a bit of a retro vibe. Loved the wood heater, perfect for a winter stay. We really couldnt fault La Sirena it had everything we needed and we had a very relaxing, enjoyable stay. Thank you!
The house is beautifully decorated with mermaid theme. It looks like the pictures advertised. It is well equipped with cooking utensils and beautiful crockery. It is clean and comfortable. We felt homely. It is just a few minutes drive to the beach. The host is very friendly and very responsive.
Great family residence, only advice to others is if you have a large vehicle youll need to reverse up the tricky driveway as the trees eitherside are overgrown and its difficult to turn the car around at the rear of the propety due overgrown shrubs as well.
We had a great stay at La Sirena. Good location for a loop walk between beaches 4&5, to little nature reserve for wombat spotting, or to playground/boat ramp. Very comfortable house for our family 2 adults/3 kids. Great kitchen/dinining/living area and perfect back deck for afternoon snoozing in the sun and loved the outdoor shower/bath and also fireplace. Well stocked kitchen, just missed some storage space for our food and draws on wardrobes for our clothes. Would def repeat book.
We had a great stay, fantastic location and a very comfortable home.The one point would be the driveway is overgrown and we had to park on the street so we would scatch our car. I was aware of this issue as it was mentioned in other reviews. That being said we would happily stay agianiissue
We stayed 3 nights towards the end of Winter and enjoyed mostly fine, sunny weather on the north-facing deck. The chill of the evenings was warmed using the woodfire heater which heated the whole home. We cooked every meal in, and used the well stocked kitchen. Hot water was instant and plentiful. The ocean beach was only a relatively short stroll away. We had a very relaxing long weekend and enjoyed every minute spent at La Sirena, an immensly charming beach abode.
The property is well located but the cleanliness was very disappointing. Examples include:
- Most of the kitchen implements needed cleaning before use,
- The griller was left with burnt food and had to be scrubbed to use,
- The floors need vacuuming (the Dyson was full after we vacuumed when we arrived)
- Some of the bedding was well by its "use by" date
The overall impression, rightly or wrongly, was that the property is rarely inspected by the owners.
Entrance to property is hidden behind bush with details provided before check-in. However, the bush can definitely do with a trim. It is so overgrown that alwe cannot drive in and park our SUV so we ended up parking just outside the property. If we park there, we can't open any car doors except for the driver.
House is clean when we check-in. Amenities provided is also good. Kitchen hot water works fine, but shower almost have no water pressure with water just trickling and the hot water is hard to control to get it steady.
FYI, there is no dishwasher in the kitchen.
Overall, we had a good stay.
