The upstairs bedrooms have a weird layout because you have to go through bathroom to get to second bedroom. The pool, location and view were great. The floors didn’t seem to have been cleaned properly as our feet were black from walking barefoot. We felt that they had skimped on some of the consumables/ not enough toilet paper and salt cellar never had salt but overall was a good stay. ##### Darrell G.

Reviewer Comments: We had a pleasant stay over the school holidays weekend, all as described, with great condition, great view and complete set of facilities to entertain families with kids in different age groups. The only minor thing to consider is accessing the second bedroom in the second floor which was wired ( access through balcony or via ensuite of the master bedroom). But that was only a small inconvenience issue, overall really happy with the place. ##### Ali V. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda F. 23 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Breathtaking, relaxing and calming stay! Our stay at Seaside Sanctuary was truly delightful. The property is wonderfully equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable, "home away from home" experience. The décor is absolutely stunning, creating a beautiful and inviting atmosphere.The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking ocean view, which provides a calming and serene outlook—ideal for relaxing and completely unwinding from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you're looking to chill out or simply recharge, this is the perfect place to do so.Unfortunately, we encountered an issue with the pool maintenance during our stay. We contacted the Agent, who did their best to assist, but due to it being the weekend, there wasn’t much they could resolve. Despite this minor inconvenience, it did not detract from the overall experience, as everything else about the property was truly exceptional.We highly recommend Seaside Sanctuary for anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. It's a property that offers both style and tranquility in equal measure. ##### Linda F.

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: We rented this property for 4 adults and 2 children for 3 nights in mid August. The place was perfect, the pool and the pool provided a lot of fun for us all, both were clean and well kept. We took 2 kayaks but the additional 2 provided kayaks (including life jackets) enabled us to further enjoy the bay. Noting there was also a paddle board but we did not use it. Communication with the property managers was excellent, and we appreciated being provided the entry code details a little earlier than 3pm as this is quite late for entry for a property of this price.For meals, we walked to the Cheeky Dog for dinner, an easy walk, great food and a trivia night (Tuesdays), and used the bbq and other cooking facilities on the other evenings. There are 2 large supermarkets around 7 minutes drive away, plus a local smaller supermarket, which meant sourcing supplies to be very easy.We also visit the nearby go karts and used the tennis courts at Soldiers Point (racquets and balls supplied although very old).Overall, I would recommend this as a great place to stay. ##### Joanne K.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is clean and love the decoration, there are some minor hazards of the main suite design, the floor could be slippery near to both side doors to bed rooms, if the floor is wet. The house needs a pest control. Lower ground floor has some odor. The pool is too old.The biggest issue is the beach. Should ask the local council to clean it, not getting what we paid for. ##### A guest from Rhodes, NSW This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kantheepan T. 11 Oct 2023 #### One of the best Family vacation Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.
