May 7, 2025 #### North facing deck for outdoor relaxation Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: The property was perfectly located in a quiet street close to beaches, coffee shop and super market. Its a comfortable cottage with a large north facing outdoor area. Pet friendly. Comfortable beds, equipped kitchens and clean bathroom. The only thing i could suggest is a gate above the internal and external stairwells. Property agent was very responsive and helpful ##### Patricia C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya M.

Jun 18, 2025 #### Delightful Modern Beach House Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a delightful beach themed and lovingly prepared holiday home. My dogs and I were lucky enough to have stayed 6 weeks there. Sun drenched HUGE balcony, three great size bedrooms and modern kitchen. The owners have gone to great effort to think of absolutely anything you could want in the home making it seem very much like your home away from home. Loved our stay and just adored the owners I was lucky enough to meet. Delightful!!! HIGHLY recommended!!! ##### Michelle Y. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Bells at Killcare Boutique Hotel, Restaurant & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Killcare-Heights-Hotels-Bells-At-Killcare-Boutique-Hotel.h3989994.Hotel-Information) > > [Wollemi Retreat ](https://www.expedia.ca/Rylstone-Hotels-Wollemi-Retreat-Award-Winning-Eco-Retreat.h33558000.Hotel-Information) > > [Century Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Finley-Hotels-Century-Motor-Inn.h18743055.Hotel-Information) > > [Reflections Seal Rocks - Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Seal-Rocks-Hotels-Reflections-Holiday-Parks-Seal-Rocks.h7250099.Hotel-Information) > > [Karuah Riverside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Karuah-Hotels-Riverside-Motel.h6260333.Hotel-Information) > > [The Abbey Motel Goulburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Goulburn-Hotels-The-Abbey-Motel-Goulburn.h46155424.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lane Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Pokolbin-Hotels-The-Lane-Retreat.h89847779.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Village Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Moree-Hotels-Spa-Village-Travel-Inn.h184731.Hotel-Information) > > [Corowa Gateway Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Corowa-Hotels-COROWA-GATEWAY-MOTEL.h17372404.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiny Balloon House by Tiny Away](https://www.expedia.ca/Canowindra-Hotels-Tiny-Balloon-House-Su.h65296140.Hotel-Information) > > [Aastro Dish Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Parkes-Hotels-Aastro-Dish-Motor-Inn.h9626640.Hotel-Information) > > [North Parkes Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Parkes-Hotels-North-Parkes-Motel.h4014371.Hotel-Information) > > [Tattersall's Hotel Blayney](https://www.expedia.ca/Blayney-Hotels-Tattersalls-Hotel-Blayney.h103907863.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Gardens Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Cowra-Hotels-Country-Gardens-Motor-Inn.h9623930.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage 402 - Ocean and Lake Views](https://www.expedia.ca/Tuncurry-Hotels-Sunny-Ocean-And-Lake-Views.h110158693.Hotel-Information) > > [Snowy Gums](https://www.expedia.ca/Smiggin-Holes-Hotels-Snowy-Gums-Chalet.h3738189.Hotel-Information) > > [Tower Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Pokolbin-Hotels-Spicers-Tower-Lodge.h82505157.Hotel-Information) > > [Quest Goulburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Goulburn-Hotels-Quest-Goulburn.h38890159.Hotel-Information) > > [Sussex Inlet Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-Sussex-Inlet-Motel.h9623964.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Conjola Waterfront Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Conjola-Hotels-Lake-Conjola-Waterfront-Holiday-Park.h36247999.Hotel-Information) > > [Gateway Lifestyle Birubi Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Anna-Bay-Hotels-Gateway-Lifestyle-Birubi-Beach.h3971799.Hotel-Information) > > [Vacy Hunter Valley Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Vacy-Hotels-Vacy-Village-Motel.h28020190.Hotel-Information) > > [Vine Valley Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Cessnock-Hotels-Vine-Valley-Inn.h7245283.Hotel-Information) > > [A line Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Griffith-Hotels-A-Line-Motel.h3941352.Hotel-Information) > > [Scone Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Scone-Hotels-Scone-Motor-Inn.h9626049.Hotel-Information) > > [Reflections Ferry Reserve - Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Brunswick-Heads-Hotels-Reflections-Holiday-Parks-Ferry-Reserve.h7238822.Hotel-Information) > > [Brunswick River Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Brunswick-River-Inn.h9627980.Hotel-Information) > > [The Phoenix Artesian Spa Resort and Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Moree-Hotels-Dragon-Phoenix-Motel-Restaurant.h24775.Hotel-Information) > > [Hunter Valley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Pokolbin-Hotels-Hunter-Valley-Resort.h16549.Hotel-Information)
