Good location and clean property, the only issue was unit doors were being replaced, floors were being replaced at other units and locks were being changed while we were there. Also tradies blocking the garage. ##### Isolda F.

The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Very relaxing and amazing views from the balcony. Constant sounds of the ocean was what we need to unwind.Unfortunately the shower drain smell was bad and small bedroom had a bad odor, like wet carpet. Single bed in that room is badly sagged and should be updated. We would still return if the above issue were resolved.Also my 4WD would not fit in the garage so maybe advertise height limit there. ##### Dave S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### catherine m. 12 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable unit, with beautiful view of shoal bay travelled with husband and 3 adult daughters.
