We love Garry - he's a great and considerate host, and the place is very nice. Theres no outlook at the apartment, but, as per the description, you couldn't really get closer to the beach with the central part of Paraparaumu a few minutes walk away. We had some internet issues when we were there but Garry was very responsive in trying to fix the issue, which will be to the benefit of future guests. The place is very well equipped, and you'll get great sleeps there. Would recommend.
