Reviewer Comments: The property was well presented and fit for purpose.Neat and tidy with simple and usefully furnished with a good level of short term rental needs.The only potential improbpvement would be to have air conditioning in the upper level which gets hot during the afternoon. The ceiling fans in the bedrooms are excellent. We might upgrade our own at home to this particular fan.The initial access code to get the keys was incorrect. Thankfully we arrives during business hours and with contacting the Agent the correct code solved the problem. ##### A guest from Sydney, NSW This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### A guest from NA, NOTAVAIL Jan 6, 2024 #### Disappointed Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful.

It is a perfect spot to go as a family, the house is spacious and has all the amenities you may need. The location is fantastic and just a walk to the beach. We got lucky enough to even see dolphins from the balcony view. It is defs a spot id go back to and recommend to friends. My only critiques for improvement is the deposit process was a bit up and down and it took quite some time to get our money back. Additionally, the kitchen could do with some new knives :) Overall, nothing major. ##### Karen N.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dutchies Sand & Sea Beachhouse was the perfect spot for our Mothers Day stay. The weather was perfect for sitting on the balcony looking out at the water view watching the sun go down. Plenty of space & beautifully furnished the house was actually warm at night & so quiet. Easy to find & access although the steps leading up to the house were a bit awkward with all our bags. Our 84yr mum had no issues with internal stairs but was not able to manage the stairs leading down to the beach.We dined at Nelson Bay Golf Club - great food & great service - and enjoyed a lovely long lunch at Little Beach Boathouse restaurant - worth every penny & highly recommend for the food & the staff.Dutchies Sand & Sea Beachhouse would easily house 3 couples but wouldn’t suit anyone with a disability.Overall it’s was a fabulous place to stay. ##### Belinda P.
