Just what we needed

A week of groundhog days…. Waking up to the beach, surfers, seals…. Beach walks with the dogs, neighbour hood walks, starry nights, puzzles and books. Our fifth visit was wonderful, hopefully stay number 6 isn’t too far away. Love it!

Middleton Favourite

We have stayed in this property on a few occasions due to the location and proximity to the beach. It is one of the older 'shacks' but good to see that the property was clean and everything was functioning including a new TV.

Overall very good. Nice & quiet. Only annoying thing was there was only 1 decent teaspoon & not enough washing up liquid. We had a great time & pretty pleased with our choice.

Beachfront and pet perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location and chilled-out no-fuss vibe of this truly beachfront property. Yes, its exterior has been subject to the full effects of salt spray off the Southern Ocean, but inside there's every provision and it's lovely and clean.It didn't take our dog long to get to know the way to the beach! Perfect for an off season escape.

Family beach holiday

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unwind are not very professional in handling the property. At one stage they randomly canceled the booking and then took final payments from incorrect card they were not authorised to.The oven stopped working. While we understand it may be difficult to get service staff during holidays, late January is hardly peak season and sending a ‘brush off’ sms is not acceptable. We were forced to use the very small BBQ and were clearly told we would be charged $50 if we did not clean it.While we enjoyed our holiday, we will never use unwind again nor stay at this property again.

Although property is dated, it was clean and tidy. Amenities were certainly satisfactory. Location is fantastic and close to other communities along the Peninsula. A perfect spot for a family holiday close to the beach.

Needs some TLC

Just over 12 months ago we stayed here and suggested that some simple elbow grease and care would help this house that is situated in a perfect position. This time the toilet seat had been fixed - that was the only thing. All doors out onto the balcony (where the view is tremendous) are difficult to open, there was mould in the bathroom sink (and a bottle of bleach under the sink - clearly nobody knows how to use it). It is such a shame that a venue like this has been allowed to become so run down. We thought we would give it a second chance but I can't see that we will be back. It is a crying shame because we love being there. We don't mind old - hey we are old ourselves - but clean is necessary. This place needs just needs someone to love it.
