Our house was lovely especially the pool

Large property great location. Well equipped kitchen but unfortunately some better TLC required. Lounges uncomfortable and dated. Saggy and not the cleanest. Shower tiles require better cleaning especially in the master ensuite.
Super problematic trying to connect to the home wifi.
Even after contacting host, still received incorrect passwords etc became way too hard and frustrating so no access to home wifi all longweekend or tv Netflix, not ideal for those working remotely.

Fantastic house and Sharon was excellent to deal with. A few things need updating, but that being a small issue. Overall a great experience

Just returned from a 3 night stay over New Years Eve and I’ve already made a booking for our next visit.
The property is massive - 5 spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and some with aircon (my only complaint is that some of the bedrooms don’t have air conditioning and they do get quite hot in summer). The property was clean upon arrival and quality linen was provided (Sheridan towels and nice soft bedsheets).
In terms of amenities the kitchen has quality appliances and is well stocked with a good range of pots and pans with more than enough utensils/ knives etc to cook up a storm. There’s also a downstairs bar area with a second full size fridge to keep your drinks cool. We spent a lot of our time gathered in the kitchen area enjoying the beautiful ocean views.
The kids favourite feature was definitely the pool. Whilst it’s quite deep throughout (2m the entire length) there’s a nice ledge to lounge in on the side. If you have kids who aren’t confident swimmers, definitely bring floaties or blow up pool loungers and you’ll be able to stay in the pool all day.
There’s a huge rooftop area, which, whilst it was lacking in furniture (would be nice to have a table set that you can bring up so you could make the most out of the area), it was still nice to have a couple of drinks there and enjoy the ocean breeze.
In terms of location, it can’t be beat. It’s directly across the road from the ocean and a quick 10 min stroll to Birubi beach.
Sharon was lovely to deal with - very responsive to all communication and always tried to accommodate our requests. The check in process couldn’t be easier.
So glad we discovered this beautiful gem. We’ve already booked our next stay and the kids won’t stop asking when we’ll be back.

This house was perfect for a family Christmas get away! The location was fantastic, with stunning views and amazing sunsets every night! The pool was wonderful and the beach within walking distance. We had one small issue with the toilet, the property manager was very responsive and it was fixed very quickly despite being a public holiday. Overall, we had a brilliant stay and highly recommend this property.

This property is perfect for a big family- or multiple families. It has impressive views and is in a nice quiet area of the bay.
With concrete walls it was easy for us all to sleep when others were up and get little ones down for naps.
Sharon was a very accommodating host and communication was excellent.

The place had really nice views, nice pool and it was spacious, however cleanliness was unsatisfactory for the price paid and it unfortunately didn't meet our expectations . We noticed many cockroaches around (dead and alive) and various bugs in door rails in the upper rooms and around the dining area.
The various air-conditioning units needs a fair bit of cleaning, the dishwasher was broken and the BBQ wasn't working and/or was cleaned when we arrived. We spent a fair bit of time having to clean up (mop floors upstairs and downstairs) and swept up the place and insect sprayed before we felt comfortable to unpack. The cockroaches in particular were in abundance and came out frequently at night from gaps in walls around the air-conditioning units and around the dining area. We sent the pictures and videos to the owner, but they didn't seem to care much as there wasn't even an apology. We won't be back, other choices around.

We had to vacuum the lounges due to food and other stuff between the cushions. Under the rug was full of sand (not cleaned for a long time). Windows not cleaned for what looks like a long time. Dishwasher racks broken. Soap holders severely corroded. WiFi was useless (picture buffering) TV reception very poor. Bed sheets were very wrinkled (probably out of drier) I could've accepted minor creases. Considering the amount we paid, I was hoping for a little better. The house size was good and had great breeze flow through. Garage was huge. Pool was over 2m deep throughout with no depth markings. We had tradesman come into the property without warning or notice by the agent. I doubt we will go back.

Lovely property, well situated near Nelson's Bay. Need a car if you want to get around. Take games for wet weather. We took all food just as well as no real "good" local shops, small IGA for essentials.

Fantastic house. Great size for group of 7. Stunning views. Just a couple of small issues-only 3 coat hangers in the whole house, 1 bedroom had no hanging space at all; coffee machine had not been emptied or cleaned. Otherwise perfect for our stay.

Great house for families like ours with adult children/teenagers. Plenty of room to spread out. Lovely home with quality fixtures. Beautiful views. Lovely ocean breezes. The pool was a big hit and is well maintained. There is use of a garage. Security is good, although the area is a safe suburb of Anna Bay, surrounded by family homes. We enjoyed the nearby beach and easy walk to the surf club for breakfast. Lots to do if you want to. L and A.

We had a wonderful time, very modern house and beautiful space and nice panoramic view however it was slight dusty and few doors were out of function with slippery stairs when raining May need small kitchen downstairs
