Could have been a superb stay.
PROS:
• Beautiful house, well appointed, great location.
• Balcony great to hangout overlooking the beach. Lots of trees along the view but still beautiful and peaceful.
• Great communication with Kathy (property manager), she personally made arrangements for after hours access.
• I love the bookshelves and book collection.
• Interior design is beautiful. Main lounge spacious, lots of windows.
• Jimmy's beach is BEAUTIFUL and serene. We hanged out at end if Winda Woppa on the 2nd day a couple of dolphins were on the beach.
• Fishing: our pals caught a snapper but lots of little shark varieties (wobbegong, port jackson, etc)
• Beach fantastic to hang outboth day and night, felt like our private beach.
CONS:
• Fairly clean in main areas but plates, cutleries and glasses needed a (re)washing before use.
• Our mates thought the linen smelt funny. We all got insect bites. Not sure if from bed or the beach. Took a week for the crashes to disappear.
• First night, one of the light switches (back door 2nd floor) tripped the power and we had to wait 15 ho
• No power, phone batteries low, it was quite an ordeal trying to report it at midnight and trouble shooting ourselves was taxing. Hot water was electric so couldn't even shower.
• Checked in late Friday, we felt our first night and most of our Saturday was wasted because the electrician arrived 2:30pm. We w only able to go out after 3pm. Received 30% refund but we feel 1 night refund would have been appropriate as the power issue lasted 15 hours.
• No extra storage space in the kitchen so most of our groceries were left on the bench.
• Only 2 dishwashing tabletsfor a 3 night booking.
WOULD WE STAY AGAIN? I think yes if the issues we found are fixed.
