Avis Saltwater Beach House

We booked this house for 5 adults and 4 kids (17, 14, 7, & 6) and upon accepting our booking, I received a call the next day to say they had to cancel it because we had "little kids" and "the stairs were too steep that they might get injured" and "there are no fences so not safe for the kids". What total BS. When I tried to call the Real Estate agency to discuss further, they didn't return my call despite numerous attempts. If you don't want under 18s in your house, don't let us book for kids as part of the booking process. A house full of 18+ are more likely to party and break stuff anyway!

Great location at Yaroomba Beach. Very swish house. Ringside seats to see the whales at play

Lovely house, well equipped and comfortable, and in a wonderful location. Couldn't have been happier. Very comfortable beds, which is not always the case in these types of rentals.

Fabulous location Lack of cooking utensils well under par for a high end rental eg only a wok and small skillet Could not get the sauna to work Lock on front gate and entry door very difficult to operate No key for laundry door

I can’t say enough about location and views right on the beach, gorgeous, wake up to sun rising and birds chirping everyday

Pros- the location is absolutely fantastic and the house is spacious and very liveable . We had 3 couples and there is easily room for 2 more without being in danger of feeling crowded. Property is overlooking the beach with direct beach access assuming you’re ok to walk through some grassy dunes to get there. The BBQ was clean and ready for use. Entry to the property was seamless. Cons - this property has NO Airconditioning, which was completely unexpected given the nightly tariff we paid. There are Airconditioning outlets in some of the bedroom’s, but they have been intentionally decommissioned. This means all the bedrooms other than the master bedroom have little breeze from the ocean and were quite hot. Cannot imagine what it would have been like during the recent heatwave we had. The property description is silent on Airconditioning, meaning they haven’t said they do or don’t have it……we assumed incorrectly. The dishwasher didn’t work. We contacted the property manager who sent an email apologising for the inconvenience but no action taken. Not really good enough. The kitchen is lacking in cooking appliances. We could only find a small wok to cook some Pancakes, which isn’t sufficient for a party of 6. At 55, I’m not all that keen to be sitting on converted milk crates when trying to enjoy a drink with our friends as the sun goes down. This may be seen as suitable outdoor entertaining setting in some people’s minds, but it’s sadly lacking for the demographic mostly likely to be renting this property. The pool hadn’t been cleaned prior to our arrival. It had sand and plant litter on the bottom and some random long black hairs on the surface, meaning it hasn’t just blown in just prior to our stay. Overall, I don’t think we would choose to stay again given it’s the little things that make the stay enjoyable. The house is in a great location and the view and proximity to the beach is perfection, but the lack of airconditioning, a working dishwasher, an unclean pool and insufficient cooking appliances just grinds a little too much to warrant a return visit.

We enjoyed our holiday however, shower head in ensuite hanging off wall broken, toaster rusted an I got zapped??.. vacuum cleaner not tagged or tested so old it doesn’t suck properly, booking website pictures shows access to beach but you have to go through neighbours property to access,, beds so hard..lawn not mowed We enjoyed our stay it’s a lovely place but needs attention or over priced

Stayed at this spectacular property for a 60th birthday celebration with international guests. 10 people accommodated comfortably with plenty of space. The agent was very professional, commutative and a pleasure to deal with. Location superb with direct access to beach and a view to die for. Will definitely be back.

The property was well equipped and in a fantastic location right on the beach. The perfect spot for a getaway with friends. I did have to follow-up with the host to request check-in information, as I hadn’t received any information in the lead up to our visit

What a spectacular property. Absolutely perfect for a group of friends. Celebrating my 50th birthday.
