Such a great place with an outdoor feeling. Weather was perfect with a great atmosphere too! Will definitely stay again. The beach was not close by but stunning views. But the coconut trees sure gave us the holiday vibe. The bach was perfect, lots of room and it was so clean! Bonus to the owner Hoa for the bottle of wine too! Overall the place made our long weekend great! ##### Shehani T.

Only issue was the toilet not flushing very well. ##### Seshnee P. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ernest v. 9 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Huge Disappointment Our recent stay at Hoa's Shed was anything but relaxing. The reviews and descriptions on the website were highly misleading. The place was filthy with spider webs and dust, and it took us two hours to clean it enough to sleep. The furniture was worn-out, and the outside furniture was very dirty and covered in bird droppings and mould. The property manager's solution was to give us an old curtain, claiming it was specially made for couches. Upon arrival, we discovered a campervan and a landscaping truck parked directly in front of the property, with the property manager informing us that the premises were also used by his landscaping business. The Wi-Fi was frustratingly slow, and none of their streaming apps worked. The toilet got backed up on the first night and the septic tank had to be pumped out, surely this needed to be checked/dealt with before guest arrival. We also had to endure strangers staying on the property in their broken-down camper on the first night - we were just informed of this after arrival. To add to the disappointment, noise levels were unbearable due to the neighbouring rental property, playing music until 4 am and behaving in a disturbing manner including standing on top of their vehicles while driving past multiple times. Despite raising our concerns with the owners, their initial apology turned into when we requested some form of discount. They indirectly implied that we were lying about the cleanliness of the property. Stay away!! ##### Ernest v. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Shane Z. 13 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious, Quiet and Clean Property We enjoyed our stay there. Our host Hoa is super friendly. The property is clean and quiet. Would be perfect if the bathroom is inside as it is a bit cold to go outside to the bathroom at night in colder months. Kitchen is also outside but it is good to be just outside. Would also be good to have some sauce pans to boil food. ##### Shane Z.
