Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### John B. Aug 15, 2023 #### Comfortable, but ... Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Comfortable, but ...PROS:Position on the Strand;Two decks, larger one is North facing;Laundry facilities in unit;Gets cooling breezes;Wi-Fi is good.CONS:Security building, with no reception, and only 1 set of keys provided;Was not met by Host so check-in was time-consuming, key box access is awkward, no mention in instructions what floor the unit is on;The location is an advantage AND a disadvantage! If you like turning off the air conditioner and having fresh air coming into the bedroom at night, leaving the bedroom’s deck door open lets in the nightly noise from the nearby restaurants exhaust fans, loud cars/bikes, street sweepers and garbage collections;“Kitchen” does not have an oven or a dishwasher or lights, lights over the limited bench space would be a worthwhile improvement;If airing items on the deck, there is nothing stopping clothing items flying off the deck if the wind gusts. However, there is no access to the area under the deck, it is the private property of the unit immediately underneath;There were references to the unit’s “lake access” and the “gym” on the Airbnb website. The unit has neither. That same website indicates that there is no smoke alarm in the unit, if true, this is illegal. The website indicates there is an “ATM on site” and a “tour desk”. There is neither;The owner of the unit is not the “host”, that is done by a real estate agent. There is no after hours number provided so if something goes wrong overnight or on the weekend, you are on your own. A locksmiths number is provided, no sparky or plumber;You, not the owner, will be charged a “Hosting Fee”.

May 17, 2023 #### Lovely apartment, great position 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: The apartment was roomy, very comfortable, and in our case, had a balcony overlooking all the action. The staff were extremely friendly and happy to help. The only downside was the noisy (hoon) drivers who found it necessary to parade their hotted-up vehicles up and down the Strand until late into the night. Overall a relatively minor problem. We enjoyed our stay. ##### Colleen C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels.d178294.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Lloydminster](https://www.expedia.ca/Lloydminster-Hotels-Microtel-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Lloydminster.h8124706.Hotel-Information) > > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea World Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sea-World-Resort.h871443.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Ville-Marie Montreal Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Best-Western-Ville-Marie-Montreal-Hotel-Suites.h563088.Hotel-Information) > > [JEN Hong Kong by Shangri-La](https://www.expedia.ca/Hong-Kong-Hotels-JEN-Hong-Kong-By-Shangri-La.h1855596.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d6057821-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Hilton-Surfers-Paradise-Hotel-And-Residences.h4238660.Hotel-Information) > > [Belise Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Belise-Apartments.h16643532.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h11768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Pickering](https://www.expedia.ca/Pickering-Hotels.d9546.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Marysville](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Marysville.h51830838.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Light Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Harbour-Light-Motel.h10253579.Hotel-Information) > > [Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Peppers-Soul-Surfers-Paradise.h4619963.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178293-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Burleigh Surf Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-Surf-Apartments.h4593274.Hotel-Information) > > [Tangalooma Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Tangalooma-Island-Resort.h2254989.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Rochester](https://www.expedia.ca/Rochester-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d602966-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Coba - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Coba-All-Inclusive.h1414071.Hotel-Information) > > [Q1 Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Q1-Resort-Spa.h1859086.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Beijing (PEK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/pek/calgary-to-beijing) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Quito (UIO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/uio/edmonton-to-quito) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Aberdeen (ABZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/abz/toronto-to-aberdeen) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Manzanillo (ZLO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/zlo/toronto-to-manzanillo) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yhz/ottawa-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Ahmedabad (AMD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/amd/edmonton-to-ahmedabad) ### Packages > [Deer Island Ferry](https://www.expedia.ca/Deer-Island-Ferry-LEtete.d553248621592249781.Vacation-Attraction)
