Beautiful Location BUT
I read the reviews on this property prior to booking and was a little concerned. Many reviews pointed to the fact that the property was not clean and it appeared that the owner had moved out just prior to the tenants arrival. Unfortunately this was our experience. The bed blankets in the master bedroom were stained, there was kitty litter or some similar product on the floor in the dining area and it really did look like the owner just leaves when any ventursome tourist decides to 'give it a go'. The location is amazing but the property itself. and the state that it was left in, is well below what is expected of a short term rental. The owner would do well to spend some of the money made from short term stays, to hire a cleaner to ensure that the property is at least clean when guests stay. Very disappointing.

Amazing Property
A really great stay with fantastic views for miles and a great house to spend time with the family. Comfortable beds, clean, bright. And views from every corner. The house was cool even on a very hot day with the sea breeze blowing through all areas of the house. William thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home one of the best I have spent time in for sure.

The location of the property is fantastic with sweeping views of the ocean. The balcony with outdoor furniture was great. There was plenty of firewood. However, the window glasses were too dirty to enjoy the view from the living room. There was too much clutter to find any space in the kitchen cupboards to put away our groceries. The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable with storage to unpack. However, the beds in second room were very uncomfortable and you could practically feel the springs. There was no storage in other bedrooms to unpack. The wardrobes in the rooms were stuffed with owner's belongings and were locked. So the bags with clothes in those rooms had to be left on the floor. It is not enjoyable to have a holiday with other people's clutter. It certainly felt as if the owner left the house for a few days for our stay. We have never experienced something like this in any of our previous holiday rentals. There was no microwave in the kitchen and eventually found it in the rear building. The internet wasn't available as the modem was unplugged. This property has so much potential if it is cleaned up property and the clutter is removed to make it more habitable like a proper holiday rental. We felt it is a great location for a one time visit for a few days as there is nothing happening around there.

Woolly Winter Weekend
Our stay at Crowdy Head began with wild wintery weather. We were snug and protected from the elements whilst being able to watch the drama unfold across the landscape. Then the sun came out, the ocean sparkled and we were treated to a perfect sunshiney afternoon at the beach. The Crowdy house provided the perfect refuge from the changeable weather with spectacular views and winter sun streaming across the verandah. The house is homey, relaxed and has all that you need for a perfect coastal getaway. Thank you to William and his family for sharing it with us. Looking forward to our next stay. Kind regards, Tanya & co

Fabulous Holiday Home
Our young family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Frolic. The ocean views are spectacular! We watched the sunrise & saw dolphins most mornings from the deck. The jacuzzi/spa was a hit! William (the host) was a pleasure to deal with. He was very accommodating and helpful. The house was clean & well equipped with the kitchen & all linen supplied. Crowdy Head is one of our favourite holiday spots, we can’t wait to return to ‘Frolic’ again hopefully soon!

While the location was great the accommodation needs a major upgrade.
Unfortunately we felt like the property needed a good clean and the 3rd bedroom needs an upgrade on the beds. The queen beds mattress was so hard it was very uncomfortable. The owners personal items were everywhere and it felt like they had just walked out before we walked in. Also nothing to indicate how to use the television or WiFi and the barbecue didn't work. Positives were the bathrooms were clean and there was plenty of seating. Location and view were fantastic. Kind regards Deb

Great property, great location
What a fabulous location this property is - its a short walk to the beach if you dont want to drive, and the balcony is fabulous to just sit on the outdoor sofa and read to the sound of the waves across the road. Crowdy Head is a really fabulous quiet and protected beach town. William was really easy to deal with, and the photos are totally accurate of both the house and its location. This was my first time away in nearly 2 years, and was incredibly relaxing and was the perfect break! Highly recommended.

The property is positioned at one of the best water-front locations of Crowedy Head, with 180 deg ocean view. and yet a quiet and friendly neighbourhood. The accuracy of online listing and overall cleanliness need some small effort improvement.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Frolic house. The house is well fitted out with all necessary inclusions, with plenty of character and ambience. It was ideal for my 5 member family with good space in bedrooms and living areas. The view is very good. Owner William is thoughtful and hospitable.
