About this property

Absolute Beachfront 3BR 2BA Home w/ Beach Track

** All guests are welcomed with a bottle of SA wine and chocolate **

This could be your holiday dream come true! Discover the yesteryear charm of this 1860s timber cottage, with an absolute beachfront, sitting proudly in one of the most spectacular locations ever created! The house and verandah have the perfect orientation, facing Granite Island, the Norfolk Pines of Victor and through to the Bluff. It also has views of the Hindmarsh river wetlands, teeming with birdlife. This incredible property is private and secluded, and the views will take your breath away!

Walk to the sandy beach via a rough track at the bottom of your front lawn, or sit on the lovely wide timber verandah with your favourite book enjoying a cuppa or maybe sipping on a G & T! The kids can play cricket or bocce on the lawn. Enjoy the thrill of the Cockle Train travelling right past the back gate!

The views are simply spectacular – this is dress circle Victor Harbor! There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a fabulous sitting/dining room spanning the front of the cottage taking full advantage of the views on offer. The kitchen has a view where people queue to do the washing up! A spacious games room with a pool table and second TV at the rear of the home provides extra space for kids' enjoyment! There is a detached lock up 2 car garage providing secure off-street parking.

There is reverse cycle air conditioning, a dishwasher, two TVs with DVDs, NBN WiFi, and a pool table.

Every Pet Let stay includes the Perks Pack: an exclusive bundle of discount offers at local businesses worth up to $230. From spa sessions to dining and local activities, it’s extra value built in so you can get the most out of your holiday budget.

Tranquil and charming beach house

Clean cozy and charming to stay at this lovely well appointed house that allowed our beloved family dog and the views were gorgeous but the only let down was that we couldn’t see the sunsets or sunrises at this time of the year also the steep driveway on a dangerous bend on the busy main road into Victor Harbour was problematic and made reversing out of the driveway a bit difficult

Great location missing a few basics

The location was amazing. Missing some basics like kitchen staples. There was 1 dart. Tight squeeze on the pool table - which was in average condition. Nothing to tidy it up with. Dusty and cobwebs in blinds. You can’t open any doors or windows as there’s no screens.

Amazing view but requires maintenance

First of all the view is stunning & we really enjoyed our stay. It’s an older style property but we appreciated its charm & space. Secondly the property manager Melinda from PetLet was extremely prompt in responding to our maintenance requests and did everything in her power to make our stay a positive experience. Pros - check in was a breeze; double garage & remote great for getting in off the busy road; comfortable beds & pillows in bedrooms 1 & 2 (no-one slept in the bunk room); good air con; plenty of cutlery and crockery; lots of kitchen bench space; & the dishwasher, coffee maker & microwave worked well. Cons - the following comments are intended as constructive feedback, and we hope they will be taken as such. The maintenance man fixed what he could, however the owners need to do some maintenance to bring the property up to scratch for its price point in the rental market. . Things don’t have to be glamorous but they need to be functional, eg main bathroom cistern leaking slightly, en-suite hot tap screeches & cold tap drips (we were told the washers have been replaced but there’s still a problem). The grout in the en-suite shower looks very grubby & the frame is surrounded by a grubby open drain! There needs to be a wardrobe provided in main bedroom & also one in the back living area as the third bunk bedroom is tiny & there’s only a small chest of drawers. It would be okay for young children but crowded for teens and adults. The rods to control the blinds are missing on several blinds & the venetian cord in the en-suite is broken. The front sliding screen door needs to be replaced as it comes off the track. The canvas blind outside the side kitchen window has started to tear and needs to be repaired before it gets worse. The front veranda rail & gates are low & could be climbable. The stained carpets were off putting but hopefully they were clean. The lounge in the front living area was very low so it was hard for us 60+ to get up out of it The secure back yard needs a tidy up & side garden needs weeding - could be problem with long haired dogs. The stove top is old & we had trouble adjusting the heat & fitting our pans on it, so we requested and appreciated the provision of an electric frypan. Finally we would have appreciated it if towels had been provided, as we flew from NSW. NB - we couldn’t find he property manual. Overall we loved our stay, and with that wonderful view it deserves 5 stars with more maintenance.

The property is dated.

Cleanliness - 3/5 - Kettle was covered in oily residue not cleaned. Carpets in lounge room stained. Lounge was uncomfortable. Screen door comes off track which made it impossible to have the sliding door open for fresh air. Back yard is a tripping hazard with un even paths. Maybe removing all the leaves, gum nuts and cutting back plants for easy access.
