This older style house is on the main road into Ledge and an easy walk down a few blocks to the beach. It has a nice balcony on which to enjoy the afternoon sun and an outdoor shower for use after a beach outing.
Check in is through a lockbox - and although the listing stated a 3pm checkin (which we then planned around) - the checkin instructions that I had to ask for a few hours before our intended arrival, stated the checkin time as 2pm (which we weren’t then able to take advantage of)!!!
Upon arrival the house was neat and tidy and relatively clean, although there were a few issues that detracted from our stay in general …
1. The bathroom vanity cupboard was opened up to reveal mould growing over the water laden and damaged shelf and a foul smell coming from it (clearly it had been like that for some time!!)
2. When we went to put our dry food items away we realised that there was no pantry or cupboard space to do so! Consequently I commenced stacking and rearranging the items strewn throughout the cupboards (in an attempt to make some storage space), only to then discover a considerable amount of mouse poo throughout the cupboards and in the items!
(As there were other guests in the previous night, it clearly had not been cleaned well!)
3. The dining chairs were badly stained - all of them - and consequently we sat at the breakfast bar for all of our meals.
4. We had a 3 night booking and had been left with only 1 partially used toilet roll. There were also no tissues or serviettes, if we had needed ‘backup’!
5. There was nowhere to hang any clothing items (not even a portable rack)
6. The QB had a DB quilt on it!
7. There was no Wifi made available.
Upon contracting the property manager (owner??) on our arrival, to bring the vanity, mouse poo and part toilet paper roll issues to their attention, I was told that most people only use the house as a ‘weekender’???? I wasn’t really quite sure what I was supposed to take from that, considering that our accepted booking was from a Sunday - Wednesday!
Although we made the most of the few days away and the house in general, we felt the price (over $200 / nt) was a little high for the ‘quality’ of what was provided and what was / wasn’t offered.
