Stayed 3 nights in a 2 bedroom 1st floor apartment and loved it. Great location, parking easy if you have a small car and the apartment was clean and tidy. Yes there were signs of age and sea air erosion but didn't deter from our enjoyment of staying here. Its called Sandbox for a reason you can't help but bring sand inside, it's practically on the beach which was totally what we wanted! Thanks Andre, we had the best time!

I killed 5 cockroaches on my first morning. Dishes were dirty in cupboard, miss match of odd pots and pans but all were missing teflon and just yuck. Screen door came off in my hand and overall very musty. If you have a large car I hope your parking skills are good because its hight and hard to get in and out. Some positives 1. So close to the beach 2.Good pillows 3. walkable to the shops

Great location directly opposite the beach with an easy walk to surf club, shops and Cafes. On a negative, the block out curtains were mouldy and yellowing with age and need to be replaced and the unit needs a proper clean in the draws and cupboards. Would gladly stay again, however not on the bottom floor. The noise from upstairs was quite loud.

Beds are super uncomfortable it feels like sleeping on the floor. Worst sleep I’ve ever had especially for a place advertised as “luxury”. It’s not luxury at all. Very misleading. Aircon is super mouldy and stinks. no proper blankets provided for the beds. Would never stay here again. I’ve stayed in 100’s of hotels and motels around Aus and the world and this by far had to be the worst one.

There really just were not enough utensils, plates etc. My parents came for lunch and it was quite difficult to cater. Not enough plates etc. I also felt that it was very expensive for such basic supply of equipment and bedding. i.e. doona had no cover.

Beach views were lovely. Good location. Could upgrade some equipment inside (toaster). Couch looked and felt dirty. One mirror in house (bathroom) is definitely not enough for a family. Couldn’t walk around with no shoes on as feet got really dirty from the industrial floors not being cleaned properly. Window dressings especially in bedrooms did not close properly.It was disappointing to hear every footstep of the persons above. People in room above finished running around at midnight. Then started running around at 4am. Not much sleep had by people in our apartment. Something definitely needs to be done with flooring above.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Photos are for front 4 units giving the impression they are all ocean view units, ours was tucked away at the side.The only means of privacy from other guests and neighboring properties was to close the roller blinds, making the unit very dark. Location was great but type of accommodation is more like Standard Room rather than Luxury. No Iron/hair dryers, dishwasher and very tight parking, suitable for small cars only. Needs more thorough attention to housekeeping, no mattress/pillow protectors, stained pillows, spillage stains still on table/coffee table, dust, sand and grime under lounges, beds and lounge cushions. Overpriced, Last Resort only!

Experience nature with a price in mind

View from the porch is next to none pending on what one ' s landscape is adorne. All the essentials that is required for a family. Lacked local tv programs due to the tv not picking up the signals however saved by the apps ie netflix. Cleaniness needs to be paid attention to we are in a covid world and there were remiments of precious tenants: not good. certain items need attention ie broken amenties.

Great location, cleanliness lacking

I really wanted to like this place as communication and friendliness was great in talking to the property about check in at night... but cleanliness was really lacking. It was just a bit grimy, which is uncomfortable at the best of times; frightening during COVID times. Instructions said my unit was on the ground floor when in fact it was on the 1st level. Great location.

Whilst this is perfectly placed on the beach it did not make up for poor maintenance and lack of cleanliness. Internet and TV did not work on first night, that happens I guess but DVD did not have HDMI cable so that was useless. With 3 grandkids it was time for games but still frustrating. My Car was too tall for car park and I needed to park at the beach. Did not sleep as it is brand new and rather expensive. We will not go back.
