Beachfront Bliss in Byron
Pros:

I stayed here with my parents who were visiting from Ireland. We had a top floor apartment with sea views, which was absolutely stunning. The apartment was spotless & beds were extremely comfortable. It is well equipped for cooking also. The location is fantastic, easy access to the beach and walking distance to all the local amenities. Check-in was seamless and there was parking for one car available, which saved us a lot of stress.
It was a perfect place to stay. We would definitely recommend it!

Cons:

Very minor issues - The shower is positioned extremely low. We are not a tall family but found ourselves bending down to shower.
There are some signs of aging, the sliding door to the balcony was difficult to open/close etc.

Dissapointed
Pros:

The inside is VERY tatty and dated, cracked shower, not up to the standard of any other location we stayed in, thus poor review and not worth the money
