  Great Location with Everything you need

  The Property amazing and exactly what we thought it was going to be. Its a single story home that sleeps 8. We attended a wedding and we had family staying in 4 other homes on the marina and everyone said the Gecko was the one with the better amenities. The beds were very comfortable, the Kitchen had the amenities we required and the ease of check in and out was so simple. We had originally booked the home with a mind for my Grandmother who uses a walking frame. Although she did not come, this home would have been perfect for her, she would have had easy access inside the house and onto the back deck. The owners were contactable and checked in every second day of our stay. They were good about reminding us of rules like 10pm - 7am noise curfew or bin day. I had questions about the property before my stay and the owners answered my questions before arriving in a timely manner. The Owners manual is well put together and easily accessible. They had information about the home, things to do and see in Exmouth, menus for restaurants and an easy to follow detailed list of the check out process. The checkout process was the easiest I have had at a whole house rental ever. This is because of the detailed list. The owners have a lovely property and we will be back if we can get a booking.

  The improvements I'm going to suggest are minor. They are more conveniences that we would like rather than a necessity. The property does not have a clothes dryer which is not an issues as there is a clothes line on the side of the house. This is a convenience we would have liked. The property has towels but no specific pool towels that we could find..

  Lovely family home to stay in Exmouth.

  Position was beautiful being on the water. Lots of space. Pool. Comfortable beds and nice linen. Coffee pod machine in kitchen really handy.

  Unable to open windows. Would be nice to have paper towels, tea, a good frypan in kitchen. Uneven driveway to be wary of, I rolled my ankle taking the bins out.

  We enjoyed our stay overall, but felt that the cleanliness of the property needed to be improved

  While the property's location and overall layout worked well for our family of 4 adults and 2 young children and the property was very comfortable ' it did fall short of our expectations for the reasons stated below.

  The property's score was impacted negatively due to the following. We were concerned to find black mould along the walls, cornices and ceiling in the family bathroom and also in both the shower cubicles (i.e. also the one in the master ensuite). The BBQ was not cleaned properly and we ended up not using it at all. The washing machine had a build up of dirt on its rubber seal and the air-conditioning return air grille was very clogged up with dust and dirt. We also felt that the provision of a single tea towel and only 2 bin bags was inadequate for our family's needs in view of the length of our stay. If the above issues were rectified, the property would be excellent, and it would score a 10.

  Lovey home with wonderful owners, looking forward to our next stay.

  We absolutely loved everything about our stay. The home is beautiful and sits in a perfect location close to the marina. The private jetty was fantastic for mooring our boat and enjoying some night fishing. Plus, the kids had an absolute blast in the pool—there was truly something for everyone! Best of all, the hospitality was unmatched. The owners were with us every step of the way and were more than happy to assist with anything we needed. Highly recommend!

  We did notice some pet hair on the interior floors and couch when we arrived. Also, the previous guests had left fish waste in the outside bin, which had a very strong smell. However, as soon as we mentioned the bin to the owners, they were incredibly nice about it and happy to get it cleaned up straight away!
