We absolutely love Straddie and Beachtime is in the perfect location to walk to the beach and the pub. It is a great size and is pet friendly which was perfect for usHOWEVER the home was very unclean, filthy in fact. There were cob webs, dead spiders and cockroaches, mould and a wasp nest in the lounge room. The outdoor deck was falling apart- some was blocked off because it was unsafe. The cookware also needs replacing

I cried on arrival...Yes really! Our annual hard earned money for special family holiday left me heartbroken. We paid peak season money 12 months in advance to secure a home to find the house on arrival is in disrepair with significant maintenance issues that were known to owner and property manager all year. We have provided significant feedback to the property manager regarding issues that require attention (well overdue). It was disappointing on reading the previous reviews (after we arrived) to see these are the same issues fellow holiday makers have reported previously that have continued to be left unaddressed by the owner. Significant structural wood rot, unsafe balcony/deck, light bulbs missing, gloomy bedroom/bathroom areas with overgrown vegetation and mould behind doors, gutters filled with debris and hence overflowing when it rains, poorly maintained furniture (kitchen dining table so sticky we covered it the entire holiday with a sheet and dining chairs rusted through), showers that dribble hot water, floor varnish worn totally through in kitchen and floor unable to be mopped. The downstairs bedroom is 1800 mm high to ceiling where drain pipe cuts into ceiling (yes that is right!). Richard was kind to lend a fan for the back bedroom. We are disappointed previous reviews appear not to have been followed up or actioned by owner or property manager. Our advice to holiday makers is to PLEASE read reviews before booking. The photos shown are not current. Would NOT recommend property.

Fairly unclean. Early checkout and late check in. Property manager was aggressive and unpleasant to deal with. Only 2 toilet rolls for two days for 10 guests. Not all lights would turn on. Deck was falling apart and would occasionally give you a splinter if you walked on it with bare feet. All the photos made the property look very bright but in reality it was quite gloomy inside. No WiFi in a location with poor reception. Price was more expensive than better maintained and more modern properties, however, this one was available at the time.

The house was very dirty and was full of huntsman spiders. We killed about 10 of them. I think the property is due for a pest spray.

This house is in a great location and is a lovely big house with a great layout. Unfortunately the cleanliness was very disappointing. The floors were very dirty and some bedding had stains/marks. The house and deck is in great need of maintenance. It would be a great property after a deep spring clean and some TLC!

High points. House in in good location. Sleeps multiple couples. Fire place.Low points. Extremely run Down and in need of serious maintaince, eg- every room had blown light bulbs, main bathroom had no light at all and we had to utilise a bedside lamp. doors to some wardrobes falling off, all down pipes blocked with leaves and rain water spills over in front of entry doors, concrete at rear door slippery resulting in kids falling .Front deck barricaded off due to rotten floor boards. Very poor phone and internet reception. Very poor selection of cooking and dining utensils.House was not clean - sand under cushions on both lounges, cobwebs on windows, dining table top sticky, mould in both bathrooms, en-suite shower had no waste grate , just a 50mm hole covered in mould. Clearly the owner chooses to over look the maintenance issues in lieu of financial gain, as evidence suggests that nothing has been done for a very long time. For the rental of 2k weekly, it is very overpriced and I would rate it 3/10 in it’s present condition.

House needs a good clean, very dirty and dusty with cobwebs everywhere down the walls and around the windows. Front deck is quite unstable, half the deck has been closed off as it is falling apart. Downstairs bedroom had a terrible odour, we had to burn incense all the time.disappointing for the money they charge.

Great set up here, great location for access to the beach and dogs allowed which is awesome. It is hot there and not enough fans as they were all broken. The stay was awesome and the house had everything you need.

For convenience and ease with dogs and teens, this house is unbeatable. Relaxing, spacious and comfortable. Noisy party from neighbours well after midnight on final night, but easy walk access to Home Beach made up for any minor drawbacks like that.

We stayed in this house for a week and were really happy and comfortable with the place. Unfortunately we had ongoing issues with the dishwasher. All of the symbols have worn away so it was a guessing game as to starting it. This in itself was rather difficult and each time it would take at least 5 mins to get it going. The tablet dispenser was faulty so we worked out that we just had to throw it in and hope for the best. Which is fell short every time - we had to manually rehash everything and dry as the dishwasher just isn’t working properly. The agents were good and provided a manual but this still wasn’t helpful. Also there was a total mismash of utensils plates and glasses. A few sharp knives would have been helpful.We loved having a seperate area downstairs for the kids but another couple of fans would have been fantastic.The rooms were a great size and the lounge deck area was very comfortable although a key to secure the door onto the deck would have been appreciated to secure our belongings.The location was fabulous and such an easy walk to Home beach.I’d not hesitate to stay here again but would want to confirm those few things have been rectified.

Spacious home in great location
This was a great property for what we required. Proximity to dog beach and pub were excellent, and large living spaces worked very well for our 7 adults.
Cleanliness on arrival wasn't great in the kitchen and living spaces, though bath and bedrooms were immaculate.
Unfortunately the fridge hadn't been turned on early enough prior to our arrival and it was full of water. The kitchen is, however, very well equipped with everything you will need.
The only other issue is linen - it is very expensive to rent. I would note though that the website tells you to bring tea towels, but there are plenty provided.
Overall a lovely relaxing long weekend with ample space both indoors and out on the deck in a quiet area by the beach. The lilies provided were a pretty touch, too.
