Great location and house but is in need of some TLC.
Pros- the location is absolutely fantastic and the house is spacious and very liveable . We had 3 couples and there is easily room for 2 more without being in danger of feeling crowded. Property is overlooking the beach with direct beach access assuming you’re ok to walk through some grassy dunes to get there. The BBQ was clean and ready for use. Entry to the property was seamless. Cons - this property has NO Airconditioning, which was completely unexpected given the nightly tariff we paid. There are Airconditioning outlets in some of the bedroom’s, but they have been intentionally decommissioned. This means all the bedrooms other than the master bedroom have little breeze from the ocean and were quite hot. Cannot imagine what it would have been like during the recent heatwave we had. The property description is silent on Airconditioning, meaning they haven’t said they do or don’t have it……we assumed incorrectly. The dishwasher didn’t work. We contacted the property manager who sent an email apologising for the inconvenience but no action taken. Not really good enough. The kitchen is lacking in cooking appliances. We could only find a small wok to cook some Pancakes, which isn’t sufficient for a party of 6. At 55, I’m not all that keen to be sitting on converted milk crates when trying to enjoy a drink with our friends as the sun goes down. This may be seen as suitable outdoor entertaining setting in some people’s minds, but it’s sadly lacking for the demographic mostly likely to be renting this property. The pool hadn’t been cleaned prior to our arrival. It had sand and plant litter on the bottom and some random long black hairs on the surface, meaning it hasn’t just blown in just prior to our stay. Overall, I don’t think we would choose to stay again given it’s the little things that make the stay enjoyable. The house is in a great location and the view and proximity to the beach is perfection, but the lack of airconditioning, a working dishwasher, an unclean pool and insufficient cooking appliances just grinds a little too much to warrant a return visit.

Too Highly Priced
We enjoyed our holiday however, shower head in ensuite hanging off wall broken, toaster rusted an I got zapped??.. vacuum cleaner not tagged or tested so old it doesn’t suck properly, booking website pictures shows access to beach but you have to go through neighbours property to access,, beds so hard..lawn not mowed We enjoyed our stay it’s a lovely place but needs attention or over priced

Stayed at this spectacular property for a 60th birthday celebration with international guests. 10 people accommodated comfortably with plenty of space. The agent was very professional, commutative and a pleasure to deal with. Location superb with direct access to beach and a view to die for. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing property Everything the photos said Impossible to communicate when booking as no phone calls until the very end then she was abrupt and rude. Felt unsure of booking as could only communicate by the website. Not even a email to the very end House was incredible and the view was unreal. Thank you

Hi Rhonda Glad you enjoyed the house - it is very frustrating booking through these sites as they will not allow us to exchange phone numbers till after the house is booked. Only then are we given numbers. I apologise if the portal message exchange came across as abrupt and rude it was not intentional. I sent several text messages to you and your partner on the check in day to arrange a meeting time to fit in with your lunch at the local surf club. We meet and greet all our guests at the house and explain the departure process I enjoyed meeting you. Kind regards Vicky - Prestige Holiday Homes

Beach front bliss
Location, location. This is the best part of the property. We had a lovely time, bed were comfortable, bathrooms new and overall fairly well appointed. The property itself is on the tired side and needs funds invested to bring it to the “prestige” level. Pool is in poor condition. The outdoor furniture was extremely uncomfortable and could not accommodate our party. wood planks on milk crates to sit on around a low coffee table? This is where you want to spend most of the time so investing here would make a big difference. Recommend to BYO camper chairs. Everything else was great.

Hi Sandra Thank you for your review; I glad that you had a lovely holiday. Saltwater is a comfortable large home and we try very hard not to over sell it and it is priced accordingly. The luxury holiday house next door that doesn't sleep nearly as many guests is much more expensive but enjoys the same great views. It is always an option if you are willing to pay a lot extra. The pool is clean and serviced prior to every guest so I can assure you that it is well maintained. The outdoor furniture is hand made by a local Noosa furniture maker and it works well in this harsh environment where everything rusts so quickly. Thank you for your feedback. Regards Vicky - Prestige Holiday Homes

Beach Retreat
Had a wonderful time away with friends, so relaxing, pool was great & the location was bliss, sleeping & waking up to the sounds of the surf was beyond words We had storms during our stay mainly in the afternoons but watching them roll in over the ocean cooling down the day was such a treat & so picturesque Close to food shops & only a short drive to Noosa for restaurants & a lil cheeky shop Only thing I was concerned about was house wiring, had little zaps turning on appliances or light switches, In all of the house, I’d say with the amount of rain we had may have added to the problem Other then that, loved the place

The pictures do not lie and in some instances are underplaying the scale. The house is really spacious and all about that glorious view. We and our friends we stayed with all agreed we would come back to this house again...Yaroomba Beach is truly magnificent! Vicky was a lovely and easy to contact. Wagtail cafe down the road kept us supplied with fantastic coffee too! We had an amazing week.
