Jo is a fabulous host! the property was impeccably maintained. We were in town for a family event and it suited our purpose perfectly. Plenty of room for a family to stretch out yet close to everywhere you want to be and everything you want do. The space both inside and out provides ample opportunity and much room for the family to get together and have fun. Jo provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. From requisite condiments necessary for cooking and accessories the shower and bathroom. There really isn't any item that Jo hasn't thought about to make your stay the best that it can be. I would highly recommend for any family that wants to make their stay in Sorrento a memorable experience. Bravo Jo!

Our family has stayed at this well appointed home three times now and we absolutely love this house. The location is brilliant for beach walks and it’s only a short drive into Sorrento. The highlight of this house is the fantastic games room which keeps teenagers and young adults entertained. Jo has set this house up thoughtfully for her guests and has added little details to make the house feel like home. It is a perfect holiday house for two families, especially families with older teenagers or young adult children. We will be returning again next year!

Property was very well equipped and layed out. Whole place was very clean. The games room was fantastic with great entertainment for our 7mth old, 3yr old and 5yr old.
Adults were very happy with the magazines and options for outside or inside leisuring.
The pod coffee maching was great for this tired mum of three.

Thank you for an amazing stay.
I’ve booked a lot of holiday homes and yours was the best!
All of the extra touches were so appreciated, we all had the best time and couldn’t believe that everything we could possibly want or need was supplied.
Thank you for having us and for the delicious arrival gifts.
We will be back!

The best holiday house
We had an amazing time at this holiday house. Everything was nice and clean. The kitchen has everything you need, way more than what we expected. The games room is the absolute best to entertain everyone. We all fell in love with this house , will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family. Jo, the host, is amazing. She is very friendly and replies to messages very quickly and tries to accommodate you at her best ability. She even had a monitor/camera and night lights for the little ones. Just incredible! Thank you so much Jo!

Back Beach Bliss - "A Touch of Paradise!"
"Simply the BEST!" is how I would describe Back Beach Bliss with regard to cleanliness, facilities and value for money. Our family of 9, (6 adults, 3 teens) were blown away. Two full bathrooms, 3 toilets and a Games Room with every possible entertainment you could wish for. All rooms tastefully decorated. Fabulous appliances. Plenty of space to escape. Five minute walk to the back beach and we were able to hear the waves at night, which was beautiful :) It was an easy 1/2 hour walk to the main strip for Mother's Day breakfast and we walked the long way home along the beach. Jo, our Hostess was a delight to deal with and a welcome bottle of bubbles was much appreciated! My only regret is that I had to leave and return to real life! I will be back though......planning a girl's weekend already! Love, love, love Back Beach Bliss <3 <3 <3

Fantastic large house in Sorrento
Our family enjoyed a lovely relaxing week staying at Back Beach Bliss. The house provided everything we needed with plenty of living space to accommodate 8 of us. The games room is an added bonus on cooler days. We couldn’t believe how well the kitchen had been stocked and really appreciated all Jo did for us as a host. Jo sure is a wonderful host and we are planning on returning next year.

Perfect Get -Away for Families With Teenagers!
We had a wonderful stay at Back Beach Bliss with another family. The house was easily able to accomodate 4 adults and 5 kids and was the most well appointed holiday rental we have ever stayed in! Seriously - you'll want for nothing during your stay here, from a complimentary bottle of champagne on arrival, current magazines in the living area, to everything you'll ever need in the kitchen and bathroom, it truly is a home away from home. The games room was the highlight though, as it kept our teenagers off their screens and busy with totem tennis, table tennis, pool table and numerous board games. The rest of the time was spent at the beach which was only a short walk away. We would highly recommend this house as the perfect rental for families with teenagers.

Luxurious and homely
We loved this property. From the fully equipped kitchen to the thoughtful touches (portacot and high chair, and kids linen/towels) the space is perfect for large family holidays. The games room was the piece de resistance! With good quality toys and games for the youngest child to the child at heart - there was everything needed to keep everyone occupied. Jo was responsive and great to deal with, checking in to make sure all was ok on arrival. Thank you for a great family escape.

Fabulously appointed house, welcoming and comfortable for our three families to easily share.
Jo was a perfect host. The house was spotlessly presented and had everything and more for us to be comfortable. The thoughtful treat of champagne and beer for our family group was a lovely surprise. The house is so well set up for families to share, with room for everyone to enjoy their own space, and come together easily. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return!

We’ve just enjoyed a lovely week at Back Beach Bliss.... all 10 of us (5 adults and 5 kids). A peacefully quiet location, a relaxed stroll to Koonya back beach and a short drive to the Main Street. We’ve stayed in many holiday homes over the years and this house was BY FAR the most comfortable, well thought-out house of all. The rooms were spacious, gorgeous decor and the games rooms was an absolute winner with the kids (and big kids too!) The selection of games and books for all ages kept us entertained in the evenings. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, with ample crockery/ cutlery/ glassware/ cookware perfect for those who like to cook - including a wonderful selection of essential grocery items. Overall, a maginificent house with that little something extra that truly felt like our home away from home... thank you Jo!

Perfect retreat for exploring the Mornington Peninsula
We loved staying at Back Beach Bliss so much; I don’t even know where to start. We’ve stayed at vacation houses all over the place - both Canadian coasts, Italy, the U.K., Hawaii - and I’ve never been handed such a thoughtfully laid out home, especially the kitchen. I’m writing this from a place we feel lucky to have found in Queensland st the moment, and yet I’m acutely aware of the many thoughtful touches Jo provided at Back Beach Bliss. Where is the lemon-infused olive oil, the selection of mustards, the immaculate everything? Our two young adult sons and the oldest son’s girlfriend shared the house so easily - everyone had their own space, yet there were so many lovely places to hang out together, and we had fun cooking all together in the beautifully planned kitchen - no getting in each other’s way, easy access to everything. Jo herself met us and is one of the most thoughtful, considerate hosts we’ve ever had - and that’s out of a great field. Thanks Jo for the perfect setting for a Christmas in Australia. We loved every minute.

Modern, spacious, inviting and well above average
Accommodation was modern, spacious, inviting and well above average. The kitchen was well stocked which saved us having to buy/bring a lot of basics! So many books, games and movies to choose from and the games room was magnificent. So close to Sorrento and the back beach. Nothing more to say except - highly recommended for families or even couples wanting to get away and have some fun.

Most AMAZING holiday house you will EVER stay in!!!!!
Jo presented the house beautifully, thinking of every little detail you could possibly imagine! The house was immaculate, light filled, well designed and furnished to perfection! The heating and cooling worked brilliantly, the beds were unbelievably comfortable and warm, the showers had brilliant water pressure and were well thought out. The kitchen was well prepared for large groups catering for your every imaginable need. Whilst being presented so perfectly, the house was also very kid friendly and equipped very well for the children to play and have just as much fun as the adults. This property was extremely well thought out, felt very warm and inviting/comfortable, and was presented with pride. We cannot wait to come back and stay again! I cannot recommend this house enough. From a well travelled family :)

Another great holiday in Back Beach Bliss!
This was our second stay in this house and it was as good as the first. Jo has gone to so much effort to make sure all the "essentials" are available, the house is always so clean and well appointed and the kids love the games room. We are already looking forward to coming back again next holidays. A great home away from home for us!

Sensational property for an extended family!
On our arrival we could not believe this place! The owners thought if EVERYTHING and for those cooking at home - this meant they had every item you could possibly need (especially when needing to feed and entertain hungry teenagers)! As for the games room this absolutely stole the show! I don’t recall ever having a 4 night stay somewhere Without an argument to be heard!!!! We will be back and thank you for the generosity of Easter eggs and champagne on arrival - very much enjoyed and appreciated! Planning our next visit already:-)

This property has everything!
We simply loved our 3 night stay at Back Beach Bliss. The house was beautiful, clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need to enjoy our stay. The accommodation easily catered for our two families (9 in total - 4 adults, 5 children under 10 years of age) From the chilled bottle of Champagne on our arrival to the thoughtful first aid kit, we truly felt this was a fabulous home away from home. We would happily return here again.

Simply perfect!
We had two young familes and parents stay for 6 nights. The place had everything you needed to keep all ages entertained (games room, tv's, toys, dvd's, books and games). A great location - short walk to back beach and general store and short drive to town. I can't remeber a more relaxing holdiay with young children. We will be back for sure.

Welcoming, stylish and comfortable
We had 4 retired couples sharing and everyone was thrilled with the quality of the house and especially the multiple bathrooms and toilets. We had four good cooks in our group, and they were delighted with the high quality of the kitchen equipment - really allowed for some great entertaining each night. We headed off each day in various directions and came back to share our discoveries - so much to see nearby. Owners are very easy to deal with - this was such a lovely treat for us all and we would love to return.

Fantastic Property!
We had a wonderful stay at Back Beach Bliss. It is in a great position, walking distance to front and back beaches and a short drive to main street Sorrento. Such a gorgeous, quiet street. The house itself is beautiful, maybe newly renovated and if not, so modern and clean. The owners have gone to a huge amount of effort to ensure that everything you need is in the house from condiments in the kitchen, loads of crockery and glassware etc, DVD's and the kids just loved the games room, so much to do and so well stocked with board games, beach gear, balls etc. I would highly recommend staying at this property and it will definitely now be our "go to" for our stays in Sorrento.

We had a Boys golf & Beer w'end away from our families & busy lives.
