BUT ... The house was not clean on our arrival. Bin stank, bathrooms with hair, dusty. Kitchen benches and cupboards dirty. Beds had stains and doonas etc were old and looked as if they hadnt been laundered for a very long time. Blinds and curtains with holes or broken. Blown lights, flat batteries in remotes and the air conditioning remote did not work even after replacing the batteries. There is a lot more I could point out that required maintenance or replacement. Over priced and did not meet our expectations. ##### Sue123 ### 4/10 Poor #### Charlie H. 2 Dec 2021 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### House is dirty, in poor condition and has lots of damaged walls, fittings and furniture Whilst the location is fantastic, the entire house needs a major refresh, to the point that even the whisk is broken. Could be great, but the overall cleanliness, and damage to the place, and the condition needs major updating. ##### Charlie H. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Patricia D. 30 Mar 2021 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Don’t hire this house It was dirt. The bbq was dirt and rusty unable to be used. We had 10 people in the house and had to eat out every day for a week because we couldn’t use the BBQ. Property Manager didn’t care about it offered no solution. If we are on holidays we don’t want to use the kitchen we want BBQs and be able to enjoy the outdoors. Half the lights in house were broken. The toilet was broken the cleaners didn’t tell the properly manager so we had to deal with that. Disgusting ##### Patricia D. ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert F. 24 Jan 2021 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Dreadful stay at shoal bay House was absolutely dirty when we checked in and very disappointed from day dot. just things we saw everyday was disgusting the whole property needs a new paint job and new make over and to be cleaned corner to corner ##### Robert F. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Quinton D. 7 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great large spacious home, perfect for our boys weekend away fishing Great location, spacious home that was great for our large group. ##### Quinton D.
