Fantastic bach right on the beach

Perfect classic lockwood home right on the beach with stunning views and sounds of the ocean. Just what we were after. Communication with bachcare was great and easy. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic view

The view was beautiful and location ideal. The house was dirty, every utensil, glass and plate needed to be cleaned prior to using. We had a great weekend nevertheless. I then received a $100 cleaning bill from Bookabach?!!!! We returned that house to a far better state than when we arrived. I will never be booking with Bookabach in the future.

Stunning location but the property itself was a bit 'tired'- it could really do with modernising inside. It is very dark inside and you don't really want a giant barbecue in the living room!

I loved that this property was right on the beach, that it had plenty of beds and lots of grass for kids to play. I felt the property wasn't very clean or maintained. There were cobwebs everywhere, food scraps in corners, and could be seen under furniture. It looks like it needs a little TLC and maintenance. The windows and mirrors all looked like they needed a good clean also.
