When we arrived the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. Mold on ceiling in bathroom and the place overall needed a deep clean.
Communication was poor. I requested the both single beds have bedding. I got confirmation through email that they would. However when I arrived only one of the beds had bedding. I then had to drive to the office to pick up bedding and make the bed myself.
I also requested that the disgusting animal skin not be on the floor during our stay. Low and behold it was still there as soon as we stepped through the front door. Luckily thebperson I was staying with was able to shove it in a cupboard.

Beautiful and peaceful stay
On the Beach 2 was lovely. The spaces and proximity to the beach were exactly as advertised and we really enjoyed our stay. We loved the beach and the easy walk to town and wineglass bay cruise.
The only feedback would be that the Queen bed was tired and not very comfortable. Mattress could do with replacing.

Great location, nicely renovated.
Property in a great location with views of the mountains. Newly renovated and comfortable. Property is downstairs level of a house (on the beach 1 upstairs) so you can hear footsteps from time to time (not too noisy though).

Brilliant property in Coles Bay
Very well appointed two-bedroom townhouse right on the beach at Coles Bay. Recently renovated very tastefully with excellent appointments. Close to Coles Bay town centre and easy access to walks. Highly recommended!

Coles Bay
Inside house smelt damp and mouldy, so much so we found other accomodation and didn't stay the second night. Mould on carpet at doorway to main bedroom. Septic tank effluent leeching into rear yard.
Noisy at night in main bedroom if people staying upstairs, with footsteps, lightswitches clearly heard.
Had trouble operating oven but managed to find a box at the bottom of pantry cupboard full of appliance manuals.
Needs a table and chairs, and a couch would be good.
A pity because the location was good.

Great location, clean new unit
This unit was in a superb location near the beach and a short walk to the jetty. Property was clean and relatively new. While it had everything you really needed, the kitchen could have been slightly better fitted out (a bread knife, potato masher and few more bits of crockery with only the bare minimum supplied).
The 3pm checkin was a little late and the how the access code would be provided could have been explained prior to me asking on the day.
But these are minor quibbles against an overall great holiday rental.
