Shoal Bay quiet time
The location is ideal - very quiet and literally a minute to the beach. An easy walk to Shoal Bay shops/restaurants. 5 minute walk to inner bay beaches. Throughout the day and especially at night the sound of the surf is a constant companion. Elements of the unit have been modernised. No a/c or ceiling fans which was not a problem given the frequent breezes. 2 pedestal fans were provided though one is almost useless and needs replacing. Patio furniture is very old and stained. Sadly the state of cleaning was poor - mould evident in bathroom sink, and on some shower tiling, dust and fluff around door seals. Floors and benches were clean. Lockable garage below was very handy. Yes, we’d stay again provided these simple improvements are attended to.

Shoal Bay Apartment, great location!!!
Nice apartment, moments from the beach, you can hear the waves & you get a lovely sea breeze.
Perfect location, just a short walk through the reserve to a beautiful beach with amazing view, crystal clear water, Shoal Bay Beach. You can easily walk as well to Little Beach for a swim + visit the Little Beach House on the water for a bite to eat & a cocktail.

Paradise
Well positioned very quiet neighbourhood easy walk to everything.only criticism is that bedroom window in the single room could not be opened.Feel that this needs to be addressed urgently as it would be almost impossible to sleep in there in summer

Excellent location and clean property
You get pretty much what is in the property description.
The property was clean. Be careful while showering warm water may stop suddenly.
Could have been better if they offer WiFi. Overall I would recommend for a family of 4-5
