Overpriced for the dated, dirty apartments.
Pros:

The location and size. Barry was great and very responsive.

Cons:

The cleanliness. The floors were sticky, the last people’s dishes were still in the washer. The sheets felt dusty as if they hadn’t been used after making for weeks.
The stairs. Having a young baby in a pram was hard due to stairs everywhere.

Great family accommodation in a beautiful location
Pros:

Great location. Beach access. Comfortable beds. Secure parking. Air conditioning. Amazing hosts that went out of their way to return my kindle I had left behind.

Cons:

The only small downside was that rubbish from previous guests was left in the bin under the sink which was quite smelly. Otherwise great property and would highly recommend.

Almost perfect. This place as the potential to be amazing if there was a little more attention to detail.
Pros:

Fantastic location and big apartment. Outdoor areas very well maintained. Property manager was very responsive and helpful.

Cons:

The apartment wasn’t my standard of clean. Wasn’t notified of aircon not working before the stay. Would have been nice we had been offered a different apartment. When we did enquire we were offered a portable unit which was good.
