Oct 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Great view and location. The view and location of this property is definitely its draw card. Semi-updated property with refreshed living areas but very dated (“original”) bathrooms. The main bedroom balcony has been overtaken by a climbing plant that needs a serious pruning! Was great to have a Nespresso coffee machine in the kitchen but the coffee pods left with it weren’t actually compatible. Had to contact the property managers a few times as check in details weren’t received via SMS, but they were responsive and helpful when contacted. ##### Adam H.

Mar 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great view and within walking distance to beaches and restaurants The view from the top balcony is beautiful. The yard is huge, so great for kids or dogs. Needs a little tidy up of the vines at the front of the house, as couldn’t find the key box to start with. ##### Jodie W.
