A relaxing week.

The property is in an excellent location. Great views. The facilities are all good. Spacious. Coffee pod machine was appreciated. Beds comfy. 2 minutes walk and you are on the Little Beach. Very steep driveway, so we parked on street.

Disappointing stay in an idyllic place

We had a great family gathering at an idyllic location but it was totally spoiled by us having to clean the property upon arrival. There are notices up everywhere advising that the property must be cleaned before departure and you must vacate before 10.00am as that is when the cleaners will arrive. Failure to meet these conditions will incur fees. Clearly the rules didn’t apply to the previous occupants and the cleaners didn’t do their job either.

Perfect stay in idyllic Scott's Head

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were 2 couples & an 8year old, with another couple for 1 night. We cannot imagine a better location.The house was old, but very clean and comfortable.The two living areas had amazing water views. There were 2 wonderful verandahs with plenty of outdoor furniture. The BBQ was very clean but we didn't have time to use it. The beds were very comfortable. Ceiling fans in all bedrooms were a big plus.The upstairs shower was large with good water pressure. The downstairs shower was not quite as good. Organic soaps were really lovely.The bedlinen and towels were great. There was everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and laundry. The generous supplies were greatly appreciated. This was the best equipped house we have stayed in.MC Grath was an outstanding booking agent. Nothing was overlooked. The team was charming and efficient. Communication was superb.
