Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Great beachside apartment, can't beat the location directly across from beach. Plenty of beds, comfortable lounge, two bathrooms, really nice apartment overall in terms of finishes and amenities, clean, well serviced, great garage. The kids absolutely loved it. The air conditioning is only one split head unit in the lounge room so impossible to cool down the whole apartment effectively which was a problem in the kids room on the first night which was way too hot. The only way to combat this was to close all blinds all day and blast the AC literally all day from morning and through the night keeping both other bedroom doors closed to try to funnel air to kids room. AC is the only major detractor in this apartment really. Second night was better implementing the strategy above but not ideal.Other minor things, a dish rack and a clothes hanger that stays indoors would be appreciated for next time. Some hand soap for the kitchen would be handy as well although we brought our own. Really enjoyed our stay and we will be back again in the future to this apartment as it is very nice and we were pleased with our overall experience. ##### Andrew K.
