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 itself is great. It is bright, recently renovated and very clean. Access to Shoal Bay is 100m. However, a major renovation in another apartment in the building meant constant hammering and drilling between 8am and 3pm. It would have been nice if we would have been warned of this (I assume a major renovation requires owners to inform STRATA). ##### Markus H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy F. 25 Jan 2021 #### Perfect location Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the Intrepid Close location which is minutes to the beach, walking distance to both Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay and located next to the most beautiful park, full of birds. The apartment is compact but good for up to four adults. The bathroom is great with a separate toilet. Two verandahs provide a place to BBQ, hanging beach towels and sitting outside without all the mess around. The kitchen is really well equipped.My only criticism is the outdoor chairs are uncomfortable and there isn't enough seating for 4 people to sit inside without sitting on top of each other. Also a few more dining chairs would be good to have some people over. Having said this we are booked to stay again next year.\` ##### Kathy F. ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca N. 12 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Apartment by the beach Great facilities in an up to date apartment close to the beach. Some smell from the caravan park depending upon wind direction. Can be a little noisy like any apartment depending upon neighbors. Thanks for having us. ##### Rebecca N. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Savoy Blackpool Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Savoy-Blackpool-Hotel.h175627.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Delphin Imperial](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-Delphin-Imperial.h4779598.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [Lemon Tree Hotel Jumeirah Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Lemon-Tree-Hotel-Dubai.h44814988.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Budapest (BUD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/bud/london-to-budapest) ### Activities > [Things to do in Dunkirk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Dunkirk.d6223280.Travel-Guide-Activities)
