There rarely are times when you choose a stay and you just know it's going to be perfect. But that was the feeling I got when booking Francoise's delightful Palm Beach self-contained studio. What a sheer delight. All expectations met on arrival. Classic, upmarket Hamptons meets humble beach shack - charming without any signs of "rusty rustic". Absolutely, fastidiously spotless, perfectly comfortable, perfectly styled, beautiful furniture, and lovely decorative touches that greet and soothe you. The view from the day chairs right across Pittwater are nothing short of spectacular - which you also see from the bed :-)
This is a perfect spot for a couples getaway: Well-appointed kitchenette with everything you need (trust me, I'm a foodie) including a real fridge, incredibly comfortable bed with luxurious, quality linen and a great pillow selection and a fantastic bathroom with a sensational shower stall.
Francoise is a delightful, friendly, non-intrusive host. She was just a doorbell away if we thought we needed anything - but didn't. She greeted us on arrival, gave us a short and accurate walk through and that was that - everyone's favourite aunt.
The gradient on the short driveway is steepish so careful on entry and exit in your zippy, low down sports coupes.
My partner and I could not recommend this listing more highly.
