The whole experience was awesome, the house was really nice and clean,the back yard was perfect for our little fur baby to run around and play with her ball.The inside of the house was amazing, recently renovated made it feel nice and cosy.The only downer was there is no dishwasher as advertised in the run down of the house.Apart from that it was awesome, highly recommend this property for a holiday.Thank you Chris we had a really great time..

We absolutely loved our stay at Coastings! This spacious house is perfectly located, offering easy access to the coast and great local eateries (we even found the best lobster nearby!). The well-equipped kitchen with cooking supplies was a huge plus. A wonderful short break, and we'd definitely book again when passing through Port Macdonell

The amenities were terrific, finding a second toilet and rain water was a huge bonus. It is situated close to all eating places and the shop and not far from the beach. It would have been perfect if we had a wardrobe, or somewhere to hang our clothes, and the grass was cut. Everything else was terrific, I would recommend the property and would stay there again.

Port Mac

Very comfortable stone house. It was a good base to explore SE South Australia and Portland VIC.The crayfish from the local fish store was a pleasure.Plenty of impressive coast to visit nearby.The only downside of Port Mac is the pong of the bay derived from decomposing algae and seaweed A small table in the kitchen would be an improvement for couples staying

2 night loveliness

House is absolutely brilliant, was lucky with the weather so did not miss an aircon. An aircon would make this property 5 out of 5. Had a little issue on the first night with gas leak but turned the gas bottles off and landlord was very responsive. Close to cafes and parks and beach BRILLIANT

Good but with few tweeks could be very good

Great job on the new renovation, however because of it, main doors to the back outside the door knob mechanism would not work 80% of the time and same thing with the front door locks beeing old type door, the handle door got stuck a lot of times in the open position. Please hang some things on the walls, doors or get some rugs as the eco in the place is unbeatable. Very clean nice sheats and nice setup. Could you please tell the cleaners to leave a few more toilet rolls out maybe under the sink for top-up as 1.5 rolls was not enough for us for 3 days (maybe too much food haha)

Unfortunately was left disappointed and dissatisfied with our stay

We have previously stayed at the property late December a couple years ago and were quite happy with our stay at that time. Unfortunately this was not the case this stay and the property doesn’t seem to have received any love since that time, and needs some attention and maintenance to be up to an air bnb stay standard. It was extremely strong mould and musk smelling, which was very off-putting during the stay. The kitchen, draws, cupboards, cooking supplies and fridge were dirty and not up to standard. Probably the worse were the mosquito infestation at night. It appeared no one had been through to open up the house recently and that there wasn’t adequate outside screens on the bedroom wall vents which allowed multiple mosquitoes inside the house, in which us and our young children got bitten alive overnight and had to buy our own spray and repellent system. I was disappointed to read very similar reviews earlier in the year, in which the owner wrote would attend to the mould smell and cleaning concerns, but it was obvious nothing had been done since, which left for an unenjoyable stay for our young family over this time. We won’t be staying in this property again for this reason.

Dirty & Mouldy

Whilst I understand that the house is old and a bit run down, for the money we paid including a cleaning fee the least you can expect is for it to be clean. There is a very strong dusty/musty smell ( reminded us of the smell in Mumbai) throughout and the carpets are badly stained. There was furry mould in all the kitchen drawers and the cooking utensils were dirty with old food and mould. The corners of the rooms had dead bugs on the floors and skirting boards were filthy. The fridge was dirty with spills still on the shelves. The window sills were very dirty and covered in bugs. The blinds were dirty. Quite a few other little things also spoilt our stay eg. clocks don't work, TV remote didn't work ( we bought new batteries ourselves but it still didn't work) a couple of light switches in the lounge room don't work, one was taped off but the other one gave off a spark when my daughter switched it on. There was only a few sheets of paper and half a firelighter to start the fire so after that we had to source some more paper and kindling ourselves and we have stocked it up for the next people who arrive. The toilet is located in a lean-to out the back so make sure you wear shoes for any late night visits cos the floors were covered in bugs. I have photos of the dirt and mould but am unable to upload them on this page. A lot more effort needs to be put into cleaning if you are going to charge people to stay at your home, this was our first family holiday in a long time and sadly the state of this home really disappointed us and obviously we wont be back :(
Response from VrboOwner on 23 August 2020
Hi Janet, Thanks for your feedback. I am disappointed you didn’t find the house in it’s usual clean state. I am surprised by some of your feedback and would have dealt with any issues very quickly if I had been advised. I have spoken with our cleaner and gained assurances around cleaning going forward.. she assures me it wasn’t properly prepared as she was confused of your arrival dates. For this I apologise. All issues have now been resolved. We have put in place a pre arrival check in inspection. Thanks again. I wish you all the best. Chris.
