Getaway over long weekend!
Glenn was great to communicate with from the very start. Although we had a few queries during our stay, Glenn was really helpful. The house was as pictured and the kids loved the pool! Perfect for the amount of people we had and pet friendly too! Thanks for having us Glenn!

Worst Holiday of our life!
We arrived at the property, and it was extremely dirty. Skirting boards had so much dust on them, the fridge was filthy and had not been cleaned, the freezer had food in there from the previous renters, there were towels left in the washing machine, there was rubbish left in the bins, dirty cutlery in the draws, and no bed sheets on the bed, when we paid to have them. And We spent our 1st day cleaning the house, as we had toddlers crawling everywhere. Not to mention the number of cobwebs throughout the home, and the filth of the the pool. Definitely do not recommend this place and will definitely not stay here again. The host was nice prior to our arrival, however after all the complaints, he was definitely not understanding or compassionate, he did offer to resend the cleaner, however we had already cleaned the house. We asked for a refund for the cleaning and was basically ignored, not even an acknowledgement of the message. I have stayed in many places, nothing like this.

Nice house needs a few touch ups.
The house was really nice and spacious however it may need to be fixed up a little. The backyard was beautiful and a very good social area with the pateo by the pool and the fake grass. Pool was a little dirty with a pile of dirt settled at the bottom of the shallow end but still a nice well sized pool. The interior was a little dusty upon arrival however it was easy to clean and once cleaned it was a very nice area to relax.

Good location, not to far away from shops and beach, quick response from Glen for our queries.
Lovely house and set up,but a good clean of skirting boards and cob webs outside wouldn’t go astray, ashame it wasn’t warm enough to get use of the pool though. Glen was very accommodating with quick reply’s to our queries, all in all we enjoyed our stay

Mini Getaway
Well presented property, well suited to our two families who were looking for a little getaway from it all! Plenty of deck/outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the view. The kids got plenty of enjoyment out of the pool, luckily the weather was ok for the mid-April time of year! (A little chilly for many people though!!) Inside there was lots of space to spread out too. Netflix and free wi-fi got plenty of use! (particularly with 5 teenagers!) There was also a selection of games that were well used also! Walking distance to Rye front beach/shops, although may be a challenging walk for some, as it is quite hilly! There is a little cafe, ‘Peninsula Pantry’ (with takeaway options, pies, pastries, milk etc.) just around the corner, handy for lunch on one of our days! Overall a great place to stay, we’d certainly be happy to book again!

Good family property
Really nice property exactly as presented in photos. Big, open plan and lots of separate spaces for different age groups. It wasn’t very clean when we arrived (unswept floors, others’ belongings) and we had to buy rinse aid, a bath mat (only 1 for 2 bathrooms). Small things I guess but you expect them to be covered in the cost of stay.

Our Rye Beach House Paradise.
My family and I keep rebooking this beautiful Beach House. Great location, dog friendly, great separate living areas for adults and younger children/teens, very clean and tidy, amazing pool and outdoor entertaining area. Excellent quick communication with Glenn the property owner, if any issues or questions occur they are answered or sorted out straight away. Every year we have seen added renovations done, which makes our holiday stay even more enjoyable every time. Thank you Glenn Donnelly for a wonderful Beach House to relax in, our piece of paradise.

We had an excellent winter break, could see how magnificent it would be in summer! The big pluses were lots of accomodation in the house so it didn’t feel at all crowded, and lots of space for our dogs to run around out the back.

Beautiful home & great location!
This home is really beautiful & coastal. It has EVERYTHING you need to cook & entertain your family. Super comfortable & great even in winter with the fire place & heating. My only suggestion would be a deeper clean between each guest. We had a little one who crawls & she was filthy after being on the floor so we had to vac the whole house. Especially under the beds & carpeted areas. Loved everything else though :)
