Good stay, excellent location, excellent property, excellent property managers. The only real negative was the ongoing construction nearby (primarily the noise, not a deal breaker, but annoying at times to my wife).

Nice place, good location, beautiful view. The unit, while comfortable, is in need of a little updating as the carpet is stained and the bathroom light (over the mirror) wasn’t working. We were given 4 towels for four people, no extras although the addition of beach towels was appreciated. Finally, the only coffee making “appliance” was a French press which wasn’t the most convenient but better than nothing. The owner was very accommodating when I needed to change my arrival date and in allowing a later checkout which was appreciated so, overall, we would definitely stay here again.

From booking this fantastic condo to leaving was a wonderful experience. It was a Great location to walk about and loved the water views from the veranda. Communication was exceptional and at the end we had a little hiccup with leaving something there and the owner was great about us going back and picking it up. If we were in Sydney again and it was available a definite number one.
