The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Family new year reunion in Portsea. House was in a great location and offered fabulous space just as described. A few things were not quite right including the pool which had not been cleaned and was not heated as we were told it would be when we booked. The owner did sort the cleaning but not until pool cleaners until our last day but it stayed freezing. It’s a great house but not if you like swimming! ##### CARYN K.
