The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great. House needs a lot of updates and a better clean for new guests. No fans or aircon in main area or fly screens in bedrooms was not ideal in warm conditions.

Reviewer Comments: Once again, we had a relaxing stay. Cylinder Palms is in a great location which is close to the beach and shops. The view is wonderful. We will definitely be back particularly as we can bring our dog. There were a few maintenance problems and the property management took note. The cleaners do a fine job cleaning the floors, kitchen and bathrooms but the house needs a deep clean e.g., the kitchen drawers are dirty and pillows and bed covers need replacing. ##### PAUL M.

Reviewer Comments: The location was fantastic, view was fantastic. Some of the furniture needed updating. The view on third floor could do with replacement cushions that are stored inside when nobody in house. And the cutlery looked like it came out of an op shop. Area space was fantastic the second floor needed updated table and chairs. Would rent this property again if some of these little details were fixed. ##### Sue W.

Reviewer Comments: Cylinder Palms is a great beach house . Beautiful view and outlook Kitchen well equipped. Awesome art on the walls .Sadly cleanliness & maintenance lets it down considerably!!!The fans in the bedrooms all need to be replaced .The fans are old and slow - producing no air .The home needs a massive spring clean , under the beds are super dusty , bathrooms need scrubbing .We loved the design of the home - great for our family of 8 adults , toddler & dog.Having a dog friendly house is brilliant but unfortunately the outdoor furniture is covered in dog hair .We would stay again on the conditions it Is thoroughly cleaned before our arrival .I definitely know we left it cleaner than when we arrived.Please to the Owner of Cylinder Palms take these comments as constructive and act on them to preserve your stunning Straddie Beach Home ##### A guest from Scarborough, QLD This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucy c. 16 Jan 2024 #### Amazing Location but property needs upgrades Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful.

Reviewer Comments: This property is in a fantastic location and is very spacious to accomodate two families comfortably.Unfortunately the property need some maintenance, furniture upgrades. The linen on the beds were damp and filthy and the couch was full of dog hair and sand. The kitchen appliances, cupboards and draws were dirty. The bedrooms came with a total of one coat hanger and the bedrooms did not have working ceiling lights or efficient fans. This property has so much potential but needs a lot of work for the cost of staying there. ##### Lucy c.

The downside is that parking is not easy except if vehicles are kept in the road in front of the house. Also, this house is not really a beach house. Getting to the beach is quite an athletic excursion by foot, especially for anyone over 55\. The views from the house and the general ambiance are excellent. Overall, a very holiday-inducing house and a relaxing experience. ##### Owen J.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cylinder Palms is a great home that has lots of space for everyone. It's only a short walk to the hotel, shops and beach, and about 1-2kms to the Bowls Club and Cafes/Restaurants. It is well presented and comes with many facilities and amenities.The only downside was the cleanliness. The showers had quite a bit of mould and soap build up in the showers and the kitchen cupboards, drawers and some cooking equipment was dirty. I spent a couple of hours in the kitchen pulling out cutlery, crockery, catering equipment and cookware, cleaning the draws and cupboards, throwing out broken items and creating some form of organisation and practicality. Cleaners of such properties should be engaged on an annual basis to do this kind of deep clean to ensure it's kept to a high standard for guests. This information, broken items and photos were provided to the managers with a recommendation for a site inspection. ##### A guest from Main Beach, QLD ### 4/10 Poor #### Ken G. 16 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Needs work A great house in great location but let down by poor maintenance and upkeep.BBq filthy,dirty oven and TV that didn't work etc etc. A very long list. ##### Ken G.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was terrific, plenty of space but the kitchen could have been better equipped, plenty of crockery & cutlery but lacked pots and pans. The bifold windows and doors need some attention, very hard to open and close. The ceiling fans in the bedrooms were very much in need of a very good clean ... due to this I was rather disappointed on the cleanliness of the place. If the cleaning & maintenance issues are rectified this would be somewhere I would stay again and recommend. ##### A guest from Kingston, QLD This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Douglas P. 15 Jun 2025 #### Cylinder Palms Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Straddie. I have been coming for 60 yrs. Cylinder Palms was spacious, furnishings in the lounge suit young folks more so than older as very low. Dining chair basic and not comfy. Beds great. We used all bed covers provided as it was cold. No air conditioning or heaters. Fire alarms went off at 338am and another evening due to ? Humidity, we were told. Crockery was minimal. An 8 setting dinner set should be provided when house is advertised for 8 adults. Only 5 dessert bowls so I purchased 6 more and 4 more coffee cups to boost supplies. The online photos dint indicate the steep block. 17 steps between levels. Again not suitable for those with mobility issues. ##### Douglas P.

The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A fabulous house that easily accommodated the 7 of us with dual living upstairs and down. Good location within walking distance to pub (all downhill) and then courtesy bus home. Has only partial sea views with a bit more from the whale watch deck. Beds comfy and decor great however fan in main room made a loud noise so very annoying. We were there in extremely hot Feb weather and although we could open up all sliding doors to verandahs, I would suggest the owners put some good ceiling fans in the living areas as it was really hot. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. Overall a very pleasant stay. ##### Cathy H. ### 4/10 Poor #### Colin M. 24 Jul 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Unkept and unloved house The condition of the property is atrocious, the barbecue, you couldn’t cook on it is so filthy I do have photographs The stove is absolutely unusable grease everywhere, left the oven trays outside the Rangehood has probably not been serviced in years. It’s very very greasy and it’s got mould in it. The towels are all tatted and threadbare on the edges. The TV was so old, I couldn’t cast to it, the fans we had to clean our self. They were absolutely filthy and the remote controls were taken away from them so the only light you had in the bedrooms were bedside lamps It was such a pity because the island is absolutely beautiful so we spent most of our time away from the house would never ever stay there again I would never ever get something through ray white again. Absolutely useless Colin Minton. PS the downstairs TV didn’t work. I think the batteries probably gone in the remote control. ##### Colin M.

Reviewer Comments: We had issues with the bed linen - it was extremely dirty (doona cover) and doonas and pillows that were stored in the cupboard were mouldy. We left these out on the beds so that they would be seen. I have photos if you are interested. There were broken chairs (2 downstairs and one upstairs) . There were live cockroaches and evidence of them in the kitchen drawers. We had to wash kitchen pots and pans before we used them.The house itself needs a good clean - we swept up dog hair, that must have been there for sometime. Kitchen needs a thorough clean including wiping down the cupboards. The layout of the home was fine, bathrooms were good. The real estate kept in contact with us very well, as there were roofing contractors working when we arrived, however they did not impede our booking in and were very courteous. ##### Maryan F. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharyn A. 12 Nov 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cylinder Palms Beautiful location, great views, large spacious home, comfortable, great for a large group, can have a dog there. Needs some maintenance and a good spring clean. One door was jammed, ceiling fan in one room not working. Overall a great place, will be coming back. ##### Sharyn A.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great property with a open plan mirrored setup for upstairs and downstairs, which easily accommodates larger groups. Good views of water, which we could see whales swimming by. This is our second stay at this property and great for dogs. Pots and pans could use updating and wasn't the cleanest however this did not affect our amazing time at Straddie.

The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Needs maintenance and cleaning. Lovely house though. Has rodents in ceiling, cockies in draws, disgusting mattresses. Take your own pillows! Microwave is very weak, BBQ filthy-full of gunk. We had to wash the doona covers. All lounge cushions covered in dirt and dog hair! Who lets animals on furniture in a holiday rental!?? Food and mess under every bed, chair cushion, clothing drawers layered in mould and hair and dust. Took me days the clean. Oven and range hood not cleaned in years! Such a great house- completely neglected- not surprising that it didn’t sell. Lovely neighbours- Need to take the palms out but leave the ones near the road- lost all ocean views. I’d buy this place if the property had been better maintained! When I complained about lack of cleaning- they offered to come back to clean I declined because it’s obvious that the cleaners don’t know how! They turned up anyway and proceeded to not clean- a swish and swipe didn’t cut it! Then not another word or check up from Ray White! Not even a phone call to check! And we paid 4thousand dollars! ##### Sam M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [B&B Ashford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d4552-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Cardonald](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardonald-Hotels.d6132222.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Reading](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels.d5664.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Instow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Instow-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6084822-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [3 Star Hotels in Milan Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/3Star-Milan-Centre-Milan-Hotels.s30-n6049534-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bon Repos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calella-Hotels-Hotel-Bon-Repos.h1486924.Hotel-Information) > > [vandervalkhotels Hotels in Best](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Best-Hotels-Van-Der-Valk-Hotels.0-0-d178024--bVanderValkHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Balcony in East London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-London-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balcony.0-0-d6047456-tHotelswithBalcony.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Indoor Pools in Bridlington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bridlington-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pools.0-0-d6048866-tHotelswithIndoorPools.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ski Hotels in England](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-England-Ski-Hotels.0-0-d11218-tSkiHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Wedding Hotels in Antalya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-Wedding-Hotel.0-0-d481-tWeddingHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartments Singapore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Apartments.d3168-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Silver Gate Lodging](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Silver-Gate-Hotels-Silver-Gate-Lodging.h32469137.Hotel-Information) > > [Lodges Warmwell](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warmwell-Lodges.d553248629175622438-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Canada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Canada.d31.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Easthampstead Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wokingham-Hotels-Easthampstead-Park.h35623274.Hotel-Information) > > [travelodgeuk Hotels in Cricklewood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cricklewood-London-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-n6144888-0--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Sao Jose dos Pinhais (CWB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/cwb/london-to-curitiba) > > [Flights from Chek Lap Kok (HKG) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hkg/nrt/hong-kong-to-tokyo) ### Cars ### Packages > [North India Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-India.d6210325.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Kingstown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingstown.dx3307) > > [Visit Lavagna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lavagna.dx602934) ---
