    Stairs, way to steep however made up for missing our training while on our travels, getting luggage to the top floor was good exercise. Place could do with a thorough spring clean.

    Location was amazing, very roomy, restaurant suggestion were appreciated. Beds comfortable and views of the ocean incredible

    The windows were filthy when we arrived which was really disappointing. The beautiful ocean view was a blurry mess. A little dated and the outdoor furniture very weathered, but other than the windows, the rest of the house was clean & tidy.

    Beachfront location & easy beach access. Quiet location with only the sound of waves most of the time. Plenty of room and comfy beds.

    Amazing location and lovely view, just minor maintenance issues that required addressing

    The views from the property were amazing (why we decided to book the property) but were very hard to appreciate through the dirty sliding doors (notably onto the decks from both the lounge and main bedroom). We found this extremely disappointing; to the point where we resorted to finding a window washer in the laundry and actually cleaning the lounge sliding door ourselves so we could appreciate the view we'd paid extra for. This made a massive difference. Other minor maintenance is required: 3+ light bulbs in the kitchen require replacement. TV remote doesn't work in the main bedroom - ? new batteries required. Single arm chair in the lounge appears to be broken - sidearm wobbles precariously. WIFI login details were listed in the compendium but when we repeatedly attempted to login it said the server was down. However, these are all super easy fixes and it would take very little to turn this into a 10/10 stay :)

    Breathtaking views, lovely town, spacious and well-equiped house.

    The windows and doors were very dirty, although I realise it's windy and salty.... There is no hair-dryer which at this price really should be there... you need to turn on the gas bottles for heating and cooking which was not in the info booklet, it was on the fridge which we didn't see.... There is an insect plague in the area which isnt the fault of the agent but there were thousands of dead insects on the floors and in the door tracks which hadn't been swept up in a while as there were cobwebs tangled in the doorways also. We spent an hour vacuuming and washing windows so we could enjoy the view.... Also noticed in the kids room, the mattress on the trundle has a badly torn cover which looks terrible. Pity as it's a lovely spot, just in this price bracket , I expect more. With the bug Robles, cleaners need to come in before people arrive and do a bug vac and check.

    Great location with lovely beach views and a path down to the beach. Large open plan living space. Comfortable bed.

    The double glazed windows have moisture between them which makes it impossible to clean. (They tried for us). Our car was also blocked in with plumbing works at the front and this caused us anxiety and meant we had to keep changing our plans. (We came here to get away from renovations next to our own home, so this was far from ideal) No upkeep is done on this property and it’s a great shame, we paid more for this property only to wish we had gone elsewhere 🙁 The property managers did their best to help but all in all if was not the relaxing time away we needed

    great location right on the beach but ….

    No wifi even though the property states it has wifi. This was a let down especially as a family with 3 teenagers. No gas so we couldn't use heating or cooking appliances on the first day/night. Sliding glass doors on both levels were so old and worn you could barely see out of the glass! Photos of the windows are very deceiving. They need replacing desperately.

    Large, spacious home. Great position and access to the beach. Comfortable beds.

    This review is for Blue Vista not Ruby's Beachfront.

    The down stairs was really cold - no heating. Probably a nice place in summer but not set up well for winter guests. The lack of WIFI and or Sky/Foxtel in this day and age was a real let down. Any one with kids/teenagers knows that is a main part of keeping them entertained at night. Expensive for the three nights we stayed. These comments are for Blue Vista.

    View was fantastic from balcony. House was very clean and well presented. Kitchen was easy to use and well laid out. Up stairs was nice a place to be when it was sunny. We had booked Ruby's Beachfront but it was changed on us at the last minute due a "dead animal smell" in the house and we where given Blue Vista instead.

    Too many stairs but I guess the elevation is necessary to get the best view from the upstairs suite.

    The view was amazing. Watching the surf from the living areas and the master bedroom was amazing. The kitchen had all the pots pand and utensils we needed to enjoy a home cooked meal while sitting on the porch. Also, the town was really close.

    The only downside was that the speed of wifi wasn't good enough for streaming, which I didn't mind, but the kids did.

    We satyed at Ruby's Beach front for two nights. It's such a lovely and beautiful place. Spectacular views from the house. Beach at your doorstep. Very clean and comfortable. Has all the emenities. The balcony has a magnificent view, and I enjoyed watching the beautiful sunrise every day. The beach is so calm and magically beautiful. It was like having a private beach in your backyard. Our kids loved it. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thank you so much
