A gem with a great beach vibe
Pros:

Joanne was fabulous after we booked minutes after a disastrous booking at another local place. She was sympathetic even though the issue was caused by her. The apartment was homey and there was an issue which Joanne came and sorted. Problems happen but it is how it is fixed that shows the quality of hosts like her.

Cons:

Its a little far out of Caloundra centre, although with joannes recommendations we found lical places, walking distance.
