The house was in a good position, a short drive to the beach and shops, with a stunning beach view. Very clean, with spacious dining and living areas. We thoroughly recommend Alby’s.

The location is fantastic, the house is older but is quite nice. Its actually very good. Just some points that I didn't like. No TV in the master bedroom. The BBQ was very old and dangerous (easily remedied) and the lounge room couch is quite uncomfortable. Apart from those things the house is great. Good kitchen, balcony etc, plenty of room. Great view.
