Family vacation
The location and amenity of the property is great for a family vacation. We were disappointed with the uncomfortable master bed and the lack of basics such as cooking oil, dishwashing liquid and toilet paper (2 rolls for 5 people to stay 6 nights).

Great space with ocean views
This is a great holiday rental with well appointed kitchen, great views and even some streaming services to keep you entertained. The pictures on the site give a really honest representation of what your getting. Only negative was cleanliness, most of the house it's furniture and linens are kept in a good clean state however the floor left a lot to be desired. We took our shoes of on arrival to keep floors clean only to discover 20 minutes later our feet were black from walking on the floor. A good mop would fix the issue. Floors aside this is a good little property for a family holiday on kangaroo island. - Would recommend.

Stunning Views, Simple but Lovely Property
Beautiful simple & clean property with a stunning view. It had everything we needed. We stayed during the dead of winter & it was really wet - we did find the house overall to be chilly - even with two reverse cycle heaters. Would definitely suggest some winter doonas. But otherwise, a lovely experience.

Comfortable House overlooking water
Well equipped house with large open-plan living area which was very comfortable for a four-night stay. Would have liked a can-opener to be provided. Good quiet location but handy to town and easy to get out to sight-seeing places. However I question value for money for a couple.

Exploring KI
We spent a few days driving on KI exploring beaches, towns and the national park. Our Aussie friend was also checking out possible moorings for his boat in the future. We brought provisions and spent the evenings cooking, enjoying wine and watching movies on the large TV.

Baywatch
As written in the visitors book by various guests there are several safety features which need urgent action. There needs to be a handrail to the steps to help people with mobility issues access the sliding door. There should also be a balustrade around the front deck, The entry to both the bathrooms has a tripping hazard which should be attended to even with some yellow tape.

Beach House
Located close to the centre of Kingscote, perfect position to explore the island. Very quiet. Baywatch Beach House with water views from the deck is a lovely short walk into the township along the esplanade pathway. Dinning, lounge and kitchen is open plan. Comfortable and clean lounge with heaps of room for small to larger families. Kitchen has gas top and electric oven great to work on. Small milk in fridge on arrival for that first cup of tea. Beds and pillows are very comfy. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend. KI is a great spot to explore. Owners are very welcoming and have set up the perfect house for an island getaway.

Great property and view
This is a great property centrally located and within walking distance to the town center if you are inclined to walk. Spacious and well appointed. Fans were a big plus as air conditioning is centrally located in main bedroom and living room. All the cooking hardware you need. Would have been nice to have just a few spices (onion, seasoned, or garlic salt/powder) and some condiments that don’t spoil but that’s a really minor thing. Really appreciated having the sandwich bags and plastic wrap. Sitting out on the deck in the evening to have dinner was wonderful. Loved the property and responsiveness of Andrew. Highly recommended. Thanks for the hospitality.
