The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great location close to all the restaurants and main shops in Shoal Bay, the unit itself was basic and at the rear of the building so the view picture is a little deceiving, also note the hot water system is not endless and runs out after 3 adults showering. ##### Kate M. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### A guest from PITT TOWN, NSW 17 Apr 2021 #### Shoal Bay Easter School Holiday Stay Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We regularly stay in Shoal Bay over the Easter school holidays. This is the first time that we have stayed in this particular property. We could not fault the cleanliness and location of this property. It is situated in easy walking distance to the beach and all the local Shoal Bay shops. The negative for us was that there is no internet connection to this property and the 4G data coverage is very poor making it challenging to access the internet by any means. Also, the noise from the local Country Club every single night is significant and because of this and the poor data coverage it is unlikely that we would stay here again. ##### A guest from PITT TOWN, NSW This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane H. 17 Feb 2021 #### Mixed feelings Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful.

Reviewer Comments: The Unit is located in a great position, although located at the back of the unit block it is right opposite the water and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. ##### Jane H.
