    Beautiful Straddie island home. Our 7th visit to Shifting Sands and did not disappoint, we absolutely love the house and it is well equipped to cater for our family of 7. However none of the 3 toilets had a bin. Bathroom bins are absolutely essential particularly for female guests. We haven’t noticed these missing during previous stays although we haven’t been for a few years.

    Shifting Sands is a well appointed house with a large kitchen, family room and deck. With all the bedrooms located downstairs, a private yard, cubby house and safety gates on the stairs this was perfect for the young members of our family.

    Property condition:

    a guest from Glenunga, SA recommends this vacation rental

    We were two couples and one child in this house for 5 nights and it was certainly spacious enough. The view was great from the balcony, which was a highlight.

    The bedrooms and living areas were a good size and the kitchen bench enormous. There was adequate kitchen ware which was good too.

    However we were surprised that there we no bins provided in the bathrooms or toilets. There was a basket in the main bathroom but that was obviously not sufficient for sanitary products. There was no hairdryer and also no hand towel for the upstairs toilet. If the owners fix these few small issues I think this house is a good option for a couple of families.

    Regarding location, it is quite a steep walk to the beach (especially on the way up!) so a car is definately recommended.

    We have stayed at Shifting Sands twice now and it's been the perfect place to bring our UK friends for a Straddie holiday. The ocean view is stunning and plenty of room to keep out of each others way. Only a minute or so drive down to the beach. The house is very well maintained and clean. Absolutely would highly recommend.

    Joanna D from Geelong, VIC recommends this vacation rental

    Shifting Sands ticked all the boxes for our family stay. House was very clean and yard was in perfect condition. It has fabulous views and we spotted heaps of whales. A clothes dryer would be beneficial as we had some inclement weather and washing bath towels was awkward, also only four bowls so we had to take turns to have cereal and dessert!

    Wonderful, we just love the lay back vibe of straddie. The people there are so friendly. The house we stay at every year is perfect for us grest views close to beaches shops etc but far enough away for quiet and relaxation.
    The beaches so second to nine we just love it.
    Plus ray white make it so easy to vacation there.
