Shoal bay experience
We were extremely happy with the property. It was spacious, well appointed, clean and very close to the beach and shops. The only small feedback i have is that it would be helpful to have access to the garage but that is in no way a deal breaker. We will definitely be applying to stay at the property again.

Great location.
We are Shoal Bay fans and stay at Shoal Bay annually for our family holiday. The house was neat and tidy and perfect size for our family stay. There are two things that need to be updated. The convection cooktop turns off when you move a pan and makes cooking a little frustrating; And the dishwasher is not secured in a cabinet so the bottom drawer falls out then open the door. These things need to looked at.

Location and size!
This house is a block back from Shoal Bay beach. A short walk down brings you to beautiful bay. The house itself was a good size for a family and infant. It included a child safe gate and high chair which we appreciated. The air-con in the main room wasn't working when we arrived however the property manager was great at trying to solve this problem for us. We had to hire own linen and there wasn't much in terms of (washing powder, dishwashing detergent, soaps and toilet paper). We would be back and do recommended this property to others.
