However hot water system was very poor, only enough hot water for max 5 guests, clearly not accommodating for 10people.During our stay, two tiles fell from balcony’s corner, our younger boy got minor cut from it but house have no first aid kit available. Overall stunning location and property.

Great locations and property but not exceptional

We loved the location right on the beach (you will need to drive to nearby facilities). House was a perfect layout for our family structure with sections separated to allow for children sleeping. Master in one area, two rooms with bathroom in other and two bedrooms and bathroom downstairs - perfect.The property is starting to date and a few safety issues such as top balcony is an accident waiting to happen with gaps to balustrade; especially for young children or even a mildly drunk adult :). We had some cockroach issues and damp smell in downstairs area. Check in and out was a simple process and good communication throughout. We were disappointed that for a premium property we were not allowed to have a local couple join us for a meal one day as we were at guest limit - totally appreciate the no party factor but a three generation family group who asks permission for a simple meal with friends was a disappointing outcome.Bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch but provision of coffee pod machine but no capsules was a small price oversight to make a good stay more memorable (people tend to remember the little things unfortunately). Overall we would recommend this property for a family or friends group but there are some things that could be addressed to bring the property up to the premium quality it is hoping for. Parking was excellent for 5-6 cars easily.

Its difficult to find a large house looking straight out onto the beautiful ocean, in season the whales are so close its spectacular. Sails is well equipped for a larger group. Just a beautiful place to spend a holiday.

Annual get together

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing views and great location. House design worked very well for our group of 10. House was clean and well presented. The managers were very helpful and communication was excellent.The house itself has some safety and maintenance issues that should be addressed. The kitchen was missing a whole drawer and all the utensils were just thrown in the drawer below meaning you had to rummage through a pile of utensils and hope you didn't find a knife you weren't expecting. The whole kitchen is past its best and should be replaced. We adjusted a few cupboards for you and cleaned the marks off but that won't last for long. There are signs of structural and water damage surfacing in numerous places. Almost every tile has fallen off the balcony edge. The concrete and timber outdoor furniture looks great but they are too heavy to be safe. We note someone has tried to move the table downstairs and only managed to bend the table leg. It won't take much for that to collapse and if someone is sitting there they would be badly injured. A number of switches/dimmers need replacing. The shower head in the main bed ensuite is worse than a prison shower. Other shower doors fail to keep the water in and the bathroom floor just becomes saturated. After very detailed instructions about which coffee pods to buy, because they weren't provided, there was no coffee machine. The bottle of wine was a nice thought but providing coffee pods would have been better. BYO coffee pods is what you expect from a budget motel. I note it's been brought to your attention a number of times in reviews that the balcony balustrade is dangerous, which it is. Particularly for small children. The certifier, the owner and the managers are taking a big risk by claiming it is compliant. It is not. Not even close.Despite the maintenance issues we would stay there again. The accommodation, layout of the house, views and the location are all great. Exciting to see some whales jumping and waving thei

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is a lovely spot with a beautiful house with all the amenities a family would need. It is located in a private exclusive neighbourhood which is quiet. The house, while well-fitted out, is a little old and could be updated (eg Kitchen). We had a problem with the washing machine not working, however a technician came out early the next day to fix it.
