Five class location & view, 2 star furnishings Excellent view, location and could be amazing but unfortunately let down by old grubby kitchenware, not enough fans or any air on, no real beach gear and cheap furnishings. We enjoyed our stay but paid a lot so expect 5 star everything at that price. Could be easily fixed with some basic repairs and replacements.

Magical view!
The Lookout was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved the location, and the view over the ocean was pure magic. The property was secluded and it had everything we needed. Cleanliness could have been slightly better but this didnt hinder our stay. We would definitely come back!
