Reviewer Comments: Amazing property with Incredible views. Looking out over the ocean. Managed to spot humpback, whales and dolphins while sitting on the deck while drinking a coffee. Lovely furnishings and comfy beds. We had a wonderful few days here. Property is looking a bit tired in a few places and would benefit from having instruction manuals on how to work the oven, heating/aircon systems etc. also, check-in process and retrieving security bond from rental company all a bit laborious and complicated. ##### gemma r.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking ocean views—truly a peaceful paradise. The space was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation.The beds were incredibly comfortable—we all slept like babies every night. It’s hard to find places that strike the right balance between cozy and spacious, but this retreat nailed it. It’s perfect for families, with plenty of room and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.And the best part? The price was more than reasonable for everything that was included. Great value without sacrificing quality.If you’re looking for a serene, family-friendly escape with stunning views and all the comforts of home, Ocean’s Edge Retreat is the place. We’ll definitely be coming back! ##### Jacinta W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jon and Narelle M. Jul 6, 2025 #### Location, location, location Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This stay was all about the location and the view. Amazing views straight off the cliffs, and if you're lucky enough to stay during the humpback migration season, you've got front rows seats to the best show in town! We were lucky enough to witness so many humpbacks passing by, blowing, breaching, slapping fins and tails and just generally having fun. No better spot to stay.The house itself was very comfortable, with the lounge and kitchen positioned perfectly to take in the view, so even if it's raining, you can still enjoy the location. Just be prepared to bring your own pantry staples such as glad wrap/baking paper as only tea/coffee/sugar was supplied. Also, if you request to have the twin beds made into a double, make sure you confirm before you arrive to save any hassles for both you and the housekeepers!Loved staying here for the humpbacks :) ##### Jon and Narelle M.
