Great family holiday
Fabulous house for a beach holiday, perfect layout, awesome kitchen and views. A few issues with the agents and not having the clean done in time, we waited til we’ll after 4pm to get in. Grass was long and not kept well for such an expensive rental, but overall it’s a top notch family home and we had a ball. These were minor things to mention to the managers, as far as the home goes will be back! Thank you

Sadly not a dream
Good house for multi-generational holiday. Great location and lots of space, unfortunately it’s in need of a few repairs and care.
Problems. It was difficult to access key for entry (told to bash on it and finally my husband’s hit loosened the key lock). Back fence broken so yard was not pet or preschooler friendly as advertised (repaired beautifully while we were there). Outdoor seating was ripped and unsafe; needs replacing. Backyard was not accessible from backdoor as it wouldn’t open (locksmith needed). One single bed collapsed due to slats being too short; not safe. BBQ badly rusted so we thought it was unsafe to use. Lots of rubbish left under and in downstairs couches, so perhaps not cleaned property. Some doona covers were stained. One room oddly set up...queen bed at one end overlapping window (cold at night) and bedside tables and broken tv down the other end. Kitchen needs spring clean as some drawers were dirty. Sadly the house is no longer a dream.
