Home sweet home
A great place to relax and enjoy the beach. Me and my kids absolutely loved our stayed here in bland bay. The pictures here don't even compare to how nice and this accommodation is. Very kid friendly apart from the stairs (only because my kid is 11 months and has learnt to walk very easy fall but we figured away to block it off) but definitely beautiful home nice and clean heaps of yard to run around. The host are always a message away. By letting us check out later to enjoy the rest of the sunny day at the beach before heading home. Price is definitely worth your money. Kids toys, beach toys, DVDs and playstation for late nice fun for the kids to enjoy. The view is stunning. It's definitely a 10 out of 10 for me. We will definitely be back. Absolutely in love with this home and my kids can't wait too go back. Thank you to the host from me and my family.

So fantastic! Pet friendly an awesome spot just a hop, skip and a jump to the beach. We had 2 families with teenagers. Clean and tidy. Host communicate A++. 2 bedrooms and 1 open plan with bunk beds would highly recommend taking a FAN for each room as the gorgeous weather meant stifflying heat.
