Enjoyed our stay immensely!
Interior of property was beautiful, clean, and just the space we needed for our family of four (with two teens). Unfortunately there was construction on the exterior of the building that obstructed our view and access to balcony; property manager Lisa let us know of the construction ahead of time so we were prepared for some noise during weekdays. Neighbours were friendly and quiet, and neighborhood was safe. Lisa was cooperative, friendly, and kept up prompt communications with us our whole trip. Enjoyed our stay immensely!

Excellent property for a perfect week family retreat
My partner, Mum and I loved our weeklong stay at Lisa’s beautiful beach home! The property is comfortable, the pictures accurately highlight the new renovations, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. We loved being so close to the beach but away from the noise, the views are stunning and there’s yummy coffee close by. Lisa was so accommodating and the little touches made us feel so welcomed. Highly recommend staying here!

Beach pad escape
Great stay as was near to family, and close to beaches. We opted to be away from the Corso so quieter. Despite it being a big lifesavers event all week we weren’t troubled by noise. Had everything we needed and apart from having trouble accessing key box, which was resolved, a good beach and city access option.

A perfect location for a relaxing holiday.
This property was so close to Queenscliff/Manly beach! Just a short walk down some steps and the beach was right there. There was also a corner cafe close by which was very convenient for coffee runs. It was also close to some very good restaurants. The property itself was very clean and tastefully renovated - nice bathroom and kitchen (love the tiles). It was very relaxing to be on the balcony with views of the beach. We had a really lovely stay at the Manly beach pad and if we visit Sydney again sometime soon, we'll be sure to return. Philip - Melbourne
