The beach boasts great swimming and you can hire kayaks and stand up paddle boards (open everyday during the high seasons of school holidays, long weekends and Easter), and just a 150m stroll along the foreshore brings you to a delicious array of places to eat and drink, plus a selection of shops.

There are also plenty of walking and bike tracks on offer, and just a 5-minute drive will take you to Nelson Bay. This neat and tidy unit captures elevated views out over the bay and the Tomaree headland - relax on the balcony in the fresh ocean air and soak up the beauty while sipping a glass of wine. The outdoor space flows indoors to the comfortable open plan area, with lounge and TV/DVD player, a dining table and chairs and a well equipped, compact kitchen with an oven, cook top, fridge/freezer and microwave.

The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cleanliness standard was a 0. The place was disgusting. Dirt on walls and doors, hair on the bed, blood stains on the pillow cases, makeup & Blood stains on the towels. Dirt Build up and dust everywhere. What a horrible experience. I will say though, they were accommodating with ordering new linen and towels for us, however, they were also unclean! I wouldn't book with this holiday rental company as they weren't very accommodating when we first arrived. they told us we couldnt have the keys before 2pm as the cleaners weren't done yet. I now know that was a lie since there was no way a cleaner was in there that day! and if they were, i'm not sure exactly what they were cleaning. This is unfortunate because the view is amazing! ##### Amy K.

The vacation rental was very clean. 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 had a fabulous stay here. The view and location is perfect and the unit was equipped with everything we needed. Being on the top floor made the stairs a challenge lugging all our luggage up, but definitely kept us fit . The carpark is way too small for most cars, but other than that I would recommend it and definitely go back. Cheers ##### Tanya D.

Reviewer Comments: Overall the stay was good. Location was very good, but the 4 flights of steps were not advised to us, which I found less than helpful. 2nd bedroom floor had not been vacuumed for weeks. The parking space for Lot 20 was very tight getting in and out as well. ##### Joseph C.

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: I loved the location (views and proximity to the beach and shops) and the lack of Wifi and the time I got to enjoy with my kids. The unit was great and so convenient. 4 floors up and wifi-free, it is clearly not the location for everyone. The parking spot was also impossible for our family station wagon and necessitated street parking. We still loved it and I loved the price. ##### Fiona H. ## 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) > > [Soco House New Boutique - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gros-Islet-Hotels-Soco-House.h66151056.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.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) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.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) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.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) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Bruges Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bruges-Center-Bruges-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n6046866-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.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) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.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) > > [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) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Central-Milton-Keynes-Shopping-Centre-Central-Milton-Keynes.d6193807.Attraction) > > [Québec City Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quebec-City.d180017.Holidays-City-Breaks)
