I would stay again ONLY due to location. It is a 10/10. However, neighbors are 0/10. He hates “stupid tourists” and “wishes the house wasn’t a rental”. He attacked our kids (ages 6-12) for walking on the dunes (which they were NOT). They apologized and he continued attacking them. However, dunes and new grass wasn’t marked so I’m not sure how kids were supposed to know in the first place. Definitely could be some improvements made.

You cannot beat the location of this condo! It sits right on the beach which is not crowded at all....very private. We had 5 couples staying and every couple had their own bedroom. Very private and quiet. There were 4.5 bathrooms so only one couple had to share a shower. Nice kitchen facilities with relatively new appliances. Everything worked well. The washer and dryer were new. Condo was located in a very safe area and was very clean on arrival. There was a large garage and even our rental van, which was a Ford Transit, fit in the garage.

The property was wonderful HOWEVER the problems with VRBO were a nightmare and we will probably not rent with VRBO again. Our 6 month old reservations were cancelled by the owner. (long story) We went crazy for 2 days trying to find another similar place. Southern Properties were very helpful. VRBO just took our money and did NOTHING. Our calls were sent to the Phillippines and to Jamiaca. Could not understand the folks in the Phillippines at all. All they did was recite a script. They were totally worthless. We kept getting disconnected. I have nightmares of the hold music over and over and over. Back and forth. NO ONE here in US to ask important questions. VRBO customer service gets a minus 10 from us. In fact they want me to adjust this review to hide how terrible it was working with VRBO. Anyone reading this - go directly to a local realtor property manager they can help you. In fact it was Southern Properties that solved our proplem and got us back into this lovely place. VRBO should give them the money. Again - We LOVED this location. Everything was perfect. We recommend Cale Bonita/Surfers Paradise wholeheartedly. If VRBO wants this changed they need to have an American who speaks English and works in headquarters in Texas to call me. And they need to refund my money.

Our only issue was that we were informed that our dryer wasn’t working when we were already on our way. I made a phone call and they took care of us with towels. Jasmine did an awesome job of helping us out. Evening else was great! We enjoyed our stay and will return in the future.

To start with the pros...this house is in a perfect location. The ocean is so close and it is just outside of town so there’s no random foot traffic, yet it doesn’t take long to drive to restaurants. The property is clean but in bad need of a face lift. The dishwasher almost fell out of its casing, a kitchen cabinet door almost fell off, a deck chair collapsed under my husband (not a large man). The furniture has seen better days, the sliding glass doors are nearly impossible to open, heavy and grating. The last night we were there the ancient and rusty dryer broke. Lots of small issues. The main bath upstairs is pretty rough, and the bed with two doubles is in the middle of the house with no windows, a pretty dismal room. No one thing that was a dealbreaker but will likely pay a little more for a nicer place next time.
