Reviewer Comments: Our group of 12 family members of mixed ages thoroughly enjoyed our stay.The house is within a half hour to most activities in the region. Started and ended each day enjoying the beach but we also had fun sliding downthe dunes, tobogganing, driving go carts and visiting the animal farm. The local fisherman provided some viewing entertainment bringing in their nets and we had RAAF flying jets over most days. A lovely home on a beautiful harbour we all loved our stay.

In a beautiful quiet spot with awesome views of the beach literally in your front yard. Well equipped with everything you need and was very clean when we arrived.Only complaint is if any small children they need to be watched carefully as gaps near railing on balcony.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was impressive beyond our expectations. The house design achieves everything it was obviously designed to achieve . We felt like we were a part of the location whilst still having multiple private living spaces . The outdoor balcony just added to this feeling . Boat Harbour itself is the best of shoal bay and one mile beach combined. Clean clear water , amazing scenery, small waves to keep it engaging and beautiful sand . All this and only 15 minutes from major retailers.

Very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful house that is right on the beach. It has everything you need for a beautiful vacation. Our only negative was that it is not really suitable for small children. The handrail to the second storey verandah is very dangerous with big gaps around the bottom and corners. Would definitely stay there again in an adult group.

SAILS IS IN AN IDEAL LOCATION OVERLOOKING A SMALL BEACH WITH WALKS EASILY ACCESSIBLE. IT IS PROBABLY NOT SUITABLE IF YOU WANT TO BE IN AMONGST THE NIGHTLIFE. SALAMANDER AND NELSON BAY ARE BOTH ABOUT 12 MIN AWAY. THIS PROPERTY IS IDEAL FOR TWO FAMILY GROUPS. WE WERE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH OUR FOUR FAMILIES.

I will just add, we followed the instructions and bought Lavaza coffee pods and they did not fit. Property info needs to be updated to give the specific model because there are two types at the supermarket. Very frustrating and a waste of money as I purchased the wrong ones. But the house is lovely the beds and pillows were very comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay.

A bit tedious dealing with multiple agents, bathrooms and kitchen were a bit dated and would have been great to have some beach towels, but overall a beautiful house with spectacular views and easy access to the beach. We had a wonderful stay!

However hot water system was very poor, only enough hot water for max 5 guests, clearly not accommodating for 10people.During our stay, two tiles fell from balcony’s corner, our younger boy got minor cut from it but house have no first aid kit available. Overall stunning location and property.

Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at the Mainsail there was plenty of room the house was beautiful. The criticism we do have is there would have been a few supplies that could have been added that wouldn’t have been expensive but made all the difference to getting our stay underway (paper towel, toilet paper, butter, a bottle of milk and olive oil), this would have avoided the need for us to get to the shops as soon as we arrived.

The location of the property was fantastic for a fun weekend to celebrate a birthday and for the family of 3 adult couples and 5 children to enjoy the beach and relax together over the weekend

Great

The magnificent views of waves crashing onto the rocks on the northern side of Boat Harbour, even from the top of the drive, ensured a wonderful holiday week in this amazing home. The long hallway led us to the dazzling views of the beach, headlands and the ocean. Every day we had the excitement of seeing whales and dolphin from both levels of the house and from the beach. Some of our party whilst paddling in kayaks or on a SUP in the bay were fortunate to see a pod of dolphin very close to them. The walks to the headlands were easy even for the three-year old twins. There were great views of whales, the pounding sea and the long stretch of sand hills to the south. The house has three separate bedroom areas, the wonderful, large main bedroom with complete bathroom was perfect for the couple with the toddler. The walk-in-robe being a great location for the travel cot! The amazing downstairs area suited best the twins and their parents with another complete bathroom plus a bonus lounge room and kitchen. The twins' older brother was upstairs in a huge bedroom next to his ancient grandparents. The third bathroom adjoined these bedrooms. The wonderfully appointed kitchen, the dining and lounge areas were perfect with fantastic views. The upstairs deck was well used and the enormous televisions in each lounge were much appreciated by the little ones. We enjoyed a perfect holiday together in this extraordinary home.

the view from the living area was amazing, a Dolphin entertained us one morning from the balcony.

Great property has everything you need lovely views & beach would stay there again.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is wonderful, top quality built and furnished. The location is just like paradise, walking to a private beach and watching sunrise and sunset from a wide balcony. We would be enjoying our stay there if the hosts didn't "love" their house that much. To register they asked for a driver's license, credit card, and 2000 deposit. They also required the names and ages of all the 10 of us. Very annoying. Then they sent emails reminding us that we would be fined if anything went wrong during our stay. I have used Airbnb for many years and have received exceptionally good reviews. I felt harrassed by the hosts.

It's good money to paid for the house and the view.

We were very disappointed with having to check in at 3pm and check out at 10am with absolutely no leniency. The house was actually ready for us at 1.30 because we arrived early and checked it out, then left so that we wouldn’t be breaching any rules. We actually only got to spend 1 out of 3 days there, because we spent Sunday morning doing the cleaning for you. The cleanliness was definitely not to the standard that we were expected to uphold. Dusty floors and carpets not properly vacuumed; Dusty fly screens covered in cob webs; Oven rack was dripping with grease. The whole experience for us was actually insulting. If this is how Stayz treats everyone, we will not be using Stayz again, preferring to spend our money at a hotel, where we can actually get out money’s worth for a whole weekend away.
