the location was right on the beach. We could view whales migrating from the living area.

great location and perfect for the quiet part of the beach

We loved the property, beautiful views of the ocean right on the beach and a lovely big and bright apartment! Michael and Karen were so lovely and accommodating, can cannot fault our stay, we will definitely be back!

Amazing location - right on the beach, near 2 flagged areas for the kids.

We were lucky enough to be upgraded! The property is in a fabulous location away from the hustle bustle but close to transport & surf club restaurant. Interior was showing signs of needing a refresh but we had no complaints.

Excellent location. Direct beach access from a secure pool area. Far enough from the hustle and bustle of Caville Ave that you get a quiet beach experience, but close enough that you're able to walk to all of the amenities that are offered there. Karen was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.

Location was fabulous Unit was updated and very comfortable And very big

The Family Christmas get together after 3 years of missing out due to Covid was the best ever and the unit and its sweeping ocean views and location added to our special time and holiday

The apartment was lovely a spacious. Also in a very good location on the beach.

Lovely spacious unit with great views in terrific location.
