The property was quite old. No wi fi. The front security door is not working. It cant be locked by the key. The main bathroom door and toilet door can't be locked. The fittings are quite old. The shower water flow is very slow. I suggest the property should be renovated before listing out.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Just a house

It's just a place to stay. Small things..... no hair dryers in bathroom, a full length mirror would be great in one of the rooms and would be appreciated if they allowed more than one roll of toilet paper for a three night stay and I would say it needs a good clean, especially the bathrooms.

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: A week's vacation from the city grind. The house was nicely furnished, finished, quiet area, near the beach, but a good distance from the shops, and not too far either. The house is relatively spacious without being too big, pet friendly. I would stay out this house again in the future.

Spacious and comfortable

Surfside Retreat is spacious with a good floor-plan. Beds were comfortable and the position is convenient. The property is on a T-junction and so there was traffic noise in the main bedroom. Not so much in the 2 minor bedrooms. The property was overall very clean. There were some maintenance issues that were reported to Contessi which they were going to fix after our stay. Most did not impact on our enjoyment of the property except for the BBQ - which did not work apart from the sideburner. We were told that the owner was replacing the BBQ - so that will be great for the future! Overall the property was excellent!
