This property looks nothing like the photos. Those photos were done a long time ago and need to be updated. It needs new carpet desperately and a freshen up. Not fair on family’s who save their money to go on a holiday pay too much for a dingy old unit. Be truthful update your photos and be fair.

We had a wonderful time. Great location. Easy access to the beach. Fantastic ocean view. (Worth climb 3 floors)
Was worrying previous comments about malfunctioning of the washing machine and dryer - no problem now, all working well. Regarding BBQ, did not use it so can not update. (Was checking w agent but did not get reply so kind of worrying till arrive the place - therefore 4 stars for the communication)
Did not offer linens … maybe I did not pay attention to the booking details and mistakened they were included, was planning to bring our own anyway so no problem. If you need linens, maybe check with agent first.
Place was clean when checking in and kitchen equipments were sufficient for preparing meals.
One area can improve is the cleanness of the window and glasses - they were dusty and with spider net… but it won’t disturb our enjoyment of the place.
Suggest to add a explanation how to open the front door with codes. We could not figure it out and ended up climbing up and down to open the front door..
Thanks the owner to share their lovely home for others to have a great vacation.

The place was a very nice and clean place. Close to everything, with Shops and beach just a very short walk.
We were giving the wrong keys upon arrival which was a stuff around and with young children and after a long drive. It wasn't the greatest start.
With a quick trip back to town and we were lucky enough they will still open to change the keys over.
We all really enjoyed our stay.

Reviewer Comments:
The Unit was lovely and the location was AWESOME ! We couldn't have picked a nicer view it was just glorious. We were though quite disappointed that the beds were not made up on arrival and all the linen was in a green bag for us to sort out. The washing machine did not work properly at all which now needs looking at as we had to ring all our clothes out over the bath as the spin cycle did not work at all. Overall though it was a lovely stay in a beautiful location.

The apartment was clean and tidy, well equipped, very spacious, great views and location.
There is no wifi but that didn't bother us.
Would definitely stay again.

It was great but really wish you. Plus let the guest check in around 12 pm at least . 2pm seems to be way too late for someone to hang around with luggage .
Thanks

We currently spent the Easter break at No 15. Amazing view, great location and very nice unit with plenty of room.
I would love to stay again but there were a few things lacking that would have made the stay a little easier.
Eg, toilet paper - the very end of a toilet roll supplied (approx 20 sheets). Dishwashing liquid - near empty bottle with enough liquid to wash up once. Dishwasher tablets - only 2 supplied that looked like they had been used or wet. Washing Powder - none.
They are only small things but given we arrived on Good Friday with shops closed, it would of been helpful to have these items available (even enough to get us through the night).
We were a little disappointed given the price of the unit (Easter prices) to not have these basic essentials supplied.
The key pick up from the container was not easy (downloading app etc), there seemed to be quite a few people struggling with the process.
Apart from these smallish issues which could be easily fixed, the unit was lovely.
