One of the things I have noticed about my most enjoyable stays at AirBnB properties are the little things that make traveling feel like a home away from home versus staying at a hotel. The little touches make a big difference.
We really enjoyed our stay - and this property - in beautiful Binalong Bay but there were some real pros and cons that anyone renting should be aware of:
Pros:
1.	The house was very clean
2.	The view is amazing
3.	It's a short walk to a gorgeous beach.
4.	The beds were comfortable; towels and sheets nice. The showers are those small plastic "stalls" but they work fine and water pressure is good.
5.	Location - short walk down a path right by the property to a gorgeous beach and the one restaurant in town Meresta, which we recommend. St Helens is an easy 15 minute drive away with access to a Super IGA market, a couple of restaurants, mountain bike rentals (Giant - we recommend), etc.
Cons:
1.	The property is managed by a management company that seems not to pay much attention to the details. E.g. light bulbs missing in lamps, celling light bulbs out in bathroom. Wall clock in kitchen stopped - needs replacement battery. Though we were told they had basic things (salt and pepper, etc.), both shakers were empty. Empty bottles of cleaning supplies under sink, broken knob on stove making burner inoperable, bulb on stove hood out, no oven mitts, etc. Body wash but no shampoo, etc. so be sure to bring your own. Peter, the repair guy, was very nice and came promptly to fix one bathroom bulb, but that's it. They said they would bring more cleaning supplies but never did.
2.	We woke up our first morning greeted by a long line of ants on the kitchen counter that had invaded a box of pastries we left on the counter overnight. They even infiltrated my pocket book going after a single plastic-wrapped cough drop that I had in my purse - ugh. Fortunately, there was an (nearly empty) can of bug spray under the sink with just enough left to take care of everything. They explained this is just a function of the very dry summer, though it would have been great if they left a note letting us know and recommending we place everything in the refrigerator.
3.	The next door neighbor's outdoor deck and this house's deck are really close. If they are there, you will not have any privacy on the deck, and you'll have to keep your shades drawn in all the bedrooms. Fortunately for us, they were only there 2 of our 5 nights.
4.	There's no wifi, though my cell service worked fine.
5.	The property runs on tank water so you have to boil it before washing your food or drinking. I'd recommend bringing in your own water.
6.	We really like when the owners/mgmt. company leaves local tips with recommendations on things to do and see in the area, where to get groceries, coffee, etc. There was none. The mgmt. company did leave a bottle of wine for us, which was nice, but just a couple of brochures.
All in all, and despite the "cons", we enjoyed our time in Binalong Bay. Given the way the bathrooms are setup and overall size, the property is best suited for a couple or family (maybe two couples), but is in a great location, is clean and has a spectacular view. With a little more care and attention to detail by the management company we would recommend it highly.
Hopefully they will address all of these things and ensure they check the details regularly before rentals.
