Both the veiw and the house were great. Very spacious for our family. Could have been a little cleaner, but overall a lovely place.

The house was immaculate and the beds were set up correctly (I’d asked for some single beds). The location was excellent, just a short walk to a safe and very quiet beach. It was like being at a resort!

The house and location was a perfect weeks holiday for 2 families to enjoy during the October school holidays. The house was perfectly set up to accommodate everyone. We enjoyed the beautiful beaches, fishing, snorkeling and sand dunes of the surrounding area, and will definitely be back again!

We are unsure about the issues you mentioned with the pillows, sheets, and carpets, as this isn't typical, but we truly wish you had reported these concerns during your stay so we could have addressed them promptly.

Sea Essence on Kingsley had everything we needed and quite a few things we didn’t know we needed but appreciated! A perfect location with sea views a good number of bedrooms that accommodated the whole family for our Christmas-in-January holiday. The top range appliances in the expansive kitchen (and the large BBQ) made feeding everyone a breeze. The heated pool has glimpses of the sea - with people moving from one to the other throughout the day. All-in-all a fantastic holiday - we look forward to visiting again.

Reviewer Comments:
This three storey home was well designed to cater for our multi generational family holiday. Fantastic views, plenty of space and a shower/toilet on each level. The pool and pool area were well used with plenty of space again to accommodate everyone. Only one thing to be aware of if you have elderly family members staying with you is there are three flights of stairs to the bedrooms which are quiet steep.
