"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We had a great time at this house. It was super comfortable with all the things you need for an easy family getaway. Ducted air conditioning throughout, dishwasher, highchair, little trikes for kiddos, washing machine, extra beach toys, plenty of space etc. The beach was a quick walk away. Only thing we’d suggest is looking to replace the front steps as some are starting to be a bit rusted and wobbly. Would also be great to have fencing along the front verandah or front yard for a more secure / safe space with very little kids. Love that the lounge room has big glass doors you can open and enjoy the sea breeze and view from the lounge room.All in all a comfortable well equipped home where we enjoyed a lovely family holiday."
