The house was as described, if not better than the photos in the listing. It had every amenity and Jellis Craig were super easy to deal with. The perfect long weekend getaway for 6 adults and a very happy dog. FYI - the wifi connected but had little to no signal.

Wonderfu getaway! House was big enough for us all and the facilities were perfect. Even the weather held out for us. Nice quiet area but could not get any closer to all of the Sorrento facilities. We loved our 4 night stay at "The Fun House!" we had such a great time.

We had such a lovely time during our stay. The pictures don’t do it justice. The spa, basketball court, swing, pool table, air hockey table, trampoline and cricket pitch all got a massive workout. Being able to walk to dinner and Main Street was also a massive bonus. I would highly recommend this house and the amazing support we received from Jellis Craig short stays who were always very responsive to any queries.
When the 10 of us arrived wanting to use the bathroom we found NO toilet paper in one and quarter of a roll in the 2nd toilet. When we went to cook pasta for dinner there was only one large pot. The complimentary hand sanitiser gift with a hair clip and cork from a wine bottle was weird. However a great place for kids to stay
large pot.

We had a great school holiday stay even though the weather was still chilly. There are so many activities to do at the house to keep everyone entertained especially the spay. Great location so the kids could go and get an ice cream whilst I was in class/wfh. Highly recommend fab location and very secure.
