    I live close so brought supplies but everything was there. I wanted to get back to beach which was an easy 5 minute walk. Place felt secure and safe Had all that was needed. Did not bring critters this time but will feel comfortable to next time. Had a relaxing stay and will visit again.

    A lovely little cottage with a sizeable backyard for the kids and dogs to play. A quiet neighbourhood and walking distance to Smiths Beach. We had a wonderful, relaxing few days away and would love to come back again :)

    The house provided everything I needed and was immaculate. Situated in a quiet neighbourhood, the home was only a short drive from Cowes. The only small suggestion I would offer is that there be a small tube into which the pegs may be inserted into to assist secure the property's gates in place. This is because, should you decide to bring your dog(s) and leave them in the yard while you are gone, you can be sure that the gates won't be moved.

    We loved staying at this Smith’s beach house. Fantastic location only 5 minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes to a local cafe. Very central location on Phillip Island. The house itself is spacious, clean and fresh, with a big backyard and well equipped kitchen. Couldn’t fault it!

    Great location. The house is comfortable. We had an issue with the toilet that was resolved quickly as the person in charge of the house was easy to get in touch with. We had a great time.

    This is a great little beach house in a lovely location and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The problem is that a lot of things need fixing and/or updating to make it an exceptional stay. Minor repairs need to be made or completed, and things like plumbing and power points need addressing (an awful lot of power boards) plus remotes for TV and Aircon were awful. Would be a terrific house with these upgrades. The host was super to deal with and I am sure is aware of these few issues.

    We had a lovely time. Nice little house, easy walking distance to two beautiful beaches. Hot water in the kitchen would have made things much more convenient for us and the description of beds in the bedrooms on the website was not quite right. But otherwise a nice place, we would absolutely stay here again.
