Great views and location

On entry terrible smell as a dirty BBQ was left in the main sleeping and lounge area. Stench was unbearable had to leave balcony door open the whole time. Lots of air freshener spraying. Couches all stained, doona cover stained. The property had everything you could need. A bit of clutter of 2 fans, not sure why as there was air conditioning. Box under bench with vacuum cleaner that didn’t work. Balcony was dirty on arrival as well, we had to sweep up and wipe things down. We still enjoyed the location, not so much our accommodation. We did receive a small refund, but the welcoming was disappointing, who leaves a dirty BBQ in a closed apartment.

Excellent service

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: Pago was an amazing help before and during our stay. She was able to change my accomodation last minute to something more suitable for my 90 year old grandmother to access. Luckily this was picked up by her, otherwise she wouldn't have made it up the stairs of the place I had originally booked.The apartment was beautiful with ocean views and had everything you need. Right across from the beach. There were markets across from us on the Saturday.We had a lovely stay :)

Perfect like always

Easy check in, apartment nice and clean and recently updated with gorgeous new artwork, furniture, linen, plants etc... we have stayed here 1-2 times a year for the last 5 or so years and we will keep coming back. Beautiful views, spacious balcony, underground parking and only a 2 minute walk to the Main Street with all the shops and restaurants.

Absolutely amazing!

The place was just perfect, the photos really don't do it justice at all, there were so many things like little snacks, toilet paper and just simple stuff to cook that was already there, it's the small things that really matter. Worth every bit of money spent!

Great view, great location.

This apartment was in a great location close to town & pubs, and the view of the beach was magnificent. The bed was comfortable, there was no noise from the main road, there was many condiments available for us to use (we didn’t). Negatives - fridge had food particles on the shelf, couch the same, around TV dusty. Microwave didn’t work until turned off then on again. Overall, I would recommend the apartment due to the view & the location. Thanks very much.

Happy with the apartment although it was privately owned the staff at the waves were not helpfull at all with us. We had a situation where the dog from the next door unit got into our balcony and urinated there as well i approched the staff didn't want to know about it in other words it was my problem i asked some questions on arrival about some things of the apartment they tell us nothing to do with us read instruction that are there bit rude as well i will probably have to think twice before i stay there again
