Stay at "Five Mile Bay"

The property was very dated with the carpet and furniture very old and dirty. The place was a good location; but, the condition of the place negated that. We would have expected more from an VRBO accommodation and cannot recommend this place to anyone.

House desperately needs TLC

Furniture is so old it would be rejected by an Op Shop and was very dirty. Bedroom windows all had catches so couldn't be opened properly leading to very poor air circulation. Shower has been set to super economy fine spray like mist with low pressure. Very dated furnishings and floor coverings that looked many decades old. The location is good, the rest of the experience is diabolically bad.
