Good setup
The place was well located, quiet, private and well set up. It was poorly maintained, with broken blinds, difficult to lock doors, but great for the price.

Seen better days
A comfortable house with great verandas to enjoy the tree tops and view. However mosquitoes were a problem inside - some screen doors don’t close properly and the open louvres high in the ceiling are not screened. A venitian was completely mangled and hanging like a bunch if rubble around the top of a window. Several other things gave the overall impression of a place in need of some maintenance. The 9am check out is unusually early and made the last morning rushed.

Average at Best
Pros: -location -parking -lots of bedrooms -deck space and common space is nice -close to beach Cons: -not clean - dust everywhere, spiders in every corner and ceiling, dirty dishes in cupboard -no hand washing soap in bathrooms -no wifi -not enough blankets for cold evenings -hot water goes from lava to chilly and back again for the duration of use - makes the 4min recommended shower length impossible -no dishcloths -all the bug screens have holes and are pulled out of track Needs love but has potential.

Thank you Jocelyn for your feedback. I am sorry there were issues during your stay but am glad you enjoyed the space and location of Blue Poles which is a spacious, popular, pet friendly property that has been busy over the last several months. Due to the bookings, there have not been many chances to carry out a deep clean but we will take the next opportunity to do so to improve the condition of the property and for the comfort of guests. I hope this experience hasn't put you off Straddie and we do hope to host you again soon.

The house was ok, but we’ll in need of lots of maintenance. Ok for a cheaper rental.
Close to everything at Pint Lookout. Plenty of room. Clean & tidy. Just needs some fixing up. Doors down slide, fly screens mostly broken, no wifi. No issues for our stay though.

Lovely Stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The home was light and airy with an amazing full length deck. The maintenance on the property is VERY poor. Many lights don’t work, vanities are old and peeling and the oven was not heating at all (both top and bottom elements) which was disappointing as we had brought our own food across to self cater. Also the hot water system alternated between hot and cold whilst showering which was not great. So overall a lovely house but not maintained well.

I'd never stay there again
This house is disgusting. The owners and the agent don't have any respect for their guests. The entertainment unit wasn't connected properly as advertised, and I found a heap of filth on the floor behind it. There were 5 remotes there, 3 of which didn't have backs nor batteries. The oven didn't work and the oven door was so disgusting that it looked a health hazard. There was mould on just about every lamp shade. There was dirt on the bedroom floor which looked like it had been there for a long time. Same in the ensuite on the tiles. The downstairs cistern didn't work as only one button worked. The upstairs bedroom sliding door is broken, it doesn't slide shut. The downstairs deck has a lounge suite which looks like it's been picked up from the tip. So filthy. I complained by phone and my wife also did on the last day in person in the office. She got attitude from the estate agent. Seriously. A bad experience. Surely the paying guest deserves more respect.

Almost 5 Stars
very comfortable house with plenty of room for a large family. Situated in a beautiful leafy part of Point lookout. Close to a bus stop and beach and short drive to other parts of Point Lookout. Downside was lack of supplies such as soap for bathrooms and dishwasher. And you need to bring more toilet paper..

Nice view but could do with a lift
Enough space and facilities, just a thorough clean and lift with some new linen and crockery and outdoor furniture coverings would make a big difference. BBQ is covered in cobwebs so not inviting to use. Otherwise good location and nice view.

Great spot - lots of space
Chilled out space . Lots of room, close to beaches and point lookout. Not much in the way of supplies in the house, so be sure to come well stocked up

Okay property on a beautiful island
Property needs a good clean, it's very dusty and dirty under and behind furniture. Microwave was broken, fridge was temperamental, light bulb in toilet was not working. Checkout time of 9am is ridiculous. View from balcony is lovely. Great location, saw mum and baby koala and kangaroos. Beaches are beautiful!

Great location, good for families
We had a wonderful stay. The check in and out was extremely easy. The house is located just a short drive from cylinder beach and point look out. We would only recommend a couple extra blankets for winter time.
