Paul was a super kind, communicative, great host. Even though he was out the country, he felt like he was just down the street between responsive WhatsApps and a trusty neighbor Christoph managing the day to day needs. When one thing went wrong (completely out of his control!), Paul was immediately on the case... and even paid for a free cleaning during our one-month stay as a kind gesture.
The location is superb. Beach Club is a quick path to the white sand beach. It's walkable to Mainstream Mall and other Hout Bay establishments. The area is super super quiet (and safe). And the view from down in the valley can't be beat. (not pictured in the listing is an excellent rooftop patio area with a 360-view of the valley)
The condo has some high-end features like the oven and fridge. The smart TV was great for Netflix. Covered parking underneath was convenient. And while Beach Club itself and this condo is starting to age a bit, it was perfectly nice as long as you're not expecting "luxury".
Paul's place in particular was excellent for our three daughters: the pool on one side of the condo with a trampoline and kids area on the other... all within sight (and listening range) of the upstairs patios.
Overall, very thankful for this great host and good stay!
