Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. The apartment was very dirty and clearly not properly cleaned. There were spider webs everywhere, even inside the apartment, which made it feel unhygienic and uncomfortable. The bed was uncomfortable, making it difficult to sleep. Because of these issues, we decided to leave the apartment before our due check-out date. Overall, the accommodation was not worth the money paid, and we would not recommend staying here unless major improvements are made.

The property itself is great, clean, modern and basically equipped. Getting in and out of the pool from the apartment required a bit of effort as there is no ladder. Not easy for young kids or older people. We did find an area just down from the apartment where you could use steps. The 40 degree weather didn’t help as the electricity went off several times for long periods. Only one control for both AC. Having to make your own bed at that price point is having a lend.

The location was great and having the pool along our backyard was perfect and kept the kids preoccupied the whole day and early bedtimes. All grocery essentials were in the mall opposite our townhouse.

Needs a bit of work

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location and overall a very nice resort. Our room had very high quality furnishings, but up close, things are in need of some maintenance work. Broken shutters, shredded carpet and lack of basic upkeep. Small things make a difference. Our soap dispenser was empty and the bedroom was dusty, plus there was a used handowel on the rail whenn we arrived. I expected more for the price.

Lovely complex, layout and facilities. While the apartment was clean, the ground floor living room carpet had a strong odour of mould. My wife and son are allergic to mould and so had strong reactions. I strongly recommend the ground floor carpet is replaced with a waterproof hard floor like lino or ceramic tiles so water or moisture brought in from the pool can be wiped up easily.

Lovely family friendly property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife,son and I enjoyed a peaceful lazy stay at the property. Overall condition and amenities were good. While the property cleanliness was good, the ground floor living room carpet gave off a very strong mouldy odour. The property owner should consider changing the carpet to a hard floor with ceramic tiles or lino. It's obvious pool water is inadvertently brought into the living room carpet by guests not bothering to dry themselves before coming into the living room. It's inevitable the damp carpet then develops mould.

Pacific Blue review

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at this resort for many years.The way the property is maintained is very poor with pealing paint, a very dirty swimming pool and weeds everywhere. Oaks certainly shows very little care for the management of the property.If you are seeking a quite peaceful stay then this will be very hard to get at this resort. Families with small kids have infiltrated the place and some show no regard for other guests as they jump, throw rubbish and glass all over the place.Have reported this to Oakes but they did not care at all. Wont be returning here as will stay elsewhere next time we are in Port Stephens.
