Stay at By The Lake Crescent Head

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the 1st time I have stayed in a property leased by Crescent Head Real Estate. I normally stay at the caravan park in the cabins. As for the future that is the end of the caravan park and I will be getting a property through the same agent for next trip. All my expectations were met and interesting when discussing matters the agent s remember things. Most unlike most agents. So I would have no hesitation in recommending this agency. Most unlike me.
