For those who read the top line only - we had a wonderful stay, very happy to recommend this place.
In a bit more detail :
Location - fantastic, would only be handful of houses in the eastern suburbs closer to the beach. You can hear the waves break from the deck or your bedroom window at night.
The place is very clean, nicely renovated. We found the house well set up with plates, pots, bath towels and all things we needed.
The hosts - check in was great, very responsive when we needed them. We had an issue with the BBQ not working on day 1 by day 2 it was replaced. The garbage bin disappeared from the street, a new one appeared the next day thanks to the hosts
The only aspects that I could mention on the down side - its not the whole house but as mentioned before, very well set up and we did have the impression of privacy. Wouldn't be fair to call it a unit either, I think this is the main aspect putting this place in the more affordable category so something to be grateful for.
There are lots of stairs as listed but 70+ year old grandma managed it a couple of times when visiting so wouldn't worry about that. The parking at the rear is very narrow, will fit a car but unlikely to then get out the door (you can park in the driveway).
Overall would highly recommend to anyone looking for a beach experience while also being in the eastern suburbs and very conveniently located to most things in Sydney.
Wonderful to walk out and be at the beach side cafe's, cross the road and be at the beach.
