We stayed at Glass House in Palm Beach as a family group of 6 adults and 6 school aged kids for a 3 night weekend in May. The house is in a fantastic location right on the beach front on the Pittwater side of Palm Beach. There is lots of space and while the en suite bathrooms in most rooms are very small and tired at least they are available. The living areas are nice and spacious - we had a catered lunch for 12 on the Sunday for Mother's Day and there was plenty of room in a lovely light filled open dining space. Great location to the newly redone Barrenjoey House restaurant- it's literally a 1 minute walk from the house. The house is decorated in a Shabby Chic style and while the house is clean and tidy, the house feels a bit more shabby than chic. Furniture is a bit broken; sofa slip covers faded and stained, there are some marks on carpet and the bathrooms dated (and toothbrushes and other personal items were still in the vanity). In one bedroom the bedside tables were upturned plastic milk crates. Again, OK but not what you'd expect. The other issue which would be very easily resolved and I am sure now the owners are aware they will fix is that the kitchen is very unequipped - there are not enough wine and water glasses - we had to have ours sent up from Sydney. Not enough plates and the ones they had were mismatched. There wasn't soap in each bathroom and powder room and there was no hair dryer in the house. In the bedroom I stayed in the king sized bed (the bed itself was very comfy) was just pushed up against a wall, there was only space for one bedside table - the sheets were Anko - KMart home brand. The old fashioned free standing wardrobe had a golf bag and personal items in the shelves so not able to hang clothes or put anything away. Again that is OK but feel the amenities of the house should be commensurate with the standard of the house and rates. We paid close to $9,000 for the 3 night stay - it wasn't peak season or even school holidays so with that comes an expectation around the fit out of the house. We found it fell short. We gave the property a 4 out of 5 star rating - this was based on the amazing location; the spacious size and the potential that if the owners did an update on the items mentioned above it could click over into the 5 star. Worth noting was Felicity the lady who handled the check in / check out and house keeping. She was fantastic to deal with.
