Phillip Island Girls Weekend
The property is in a very nice position, close to everything and convenient to access. The property was clean and most things we needed. We purchased clothes to clean the kitchen as none were supplied. Loved our night at the penguins and especially liked Pino's Trattoria, great food. The children all had access to their IPad's thru WiFi, so we were all happy and rested.

Good location
Good location but cleanliness lacking in property (dust and hair prevalent). One set of sheets paid for that were not provided. Cleaning products and tea towels missing. Different, older style decor and bedding than in photos. Small, internal bathrooms with no natural light. No bath.

Great position
Very clean in the apartment, although the verandah furniture is falling apart, table needs replacing and old fake plants tackiest, considering payed over $1000.00 for 3 nights this could be better.

Fantastic location close to main street. Amazing beach views, immaculate property. Only downside was additional cost for linen on top of price, which the linen was in a tub for us to make up beds ourselves. Normally incl and on beds at other properties. Will be back though!

Loved that so close to everything & beach right across the road. The apartment was very neat & spacious. The only thing I would say is reception is not the best for internet use.

Amazing accommodation
Apartment was lovely, perfect location, clean and well equipped. Only suggestion to incoming visitors that it’s not toddler proof - so we moved some of the lovely breakables and glass coffee table aside. Also if cooking, there is only 1 fry pan so would be great to have a wok or something else to use. Not a huge issue though as everything else was great! First National team were great with communication. Would definitely recommend this property as it’s in an ideal location to the beach and Main Street. Will definitely book again next year.

Great Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always book this apartment about twice yearly. It suits our needs for a nice break every time. We always find it clean when we get there. It is at walking distance to the beach, pub, restaurants, grocery stores and other amenities. The apartment is spacious enough to accommodate several people ( maximum 8 ) comfortably without invading each other’s space. We always have a great time when we go to this location. I would go back again next year and would recommend the place to anyone who would like a good beach holiday spot .

Beautifully presented apartment in an ideal beach location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We enjoyed a 3 night stay at this property and found it to be very modern, exceptionally clean, neat and well presented.We were pleasantly surprised to find the pantry stocked with a range of condiments and also a few basic grocery items like sachets of breakfast cereal. Lots of cleaning supplies were also provided.The living area was very spacious. It opens onto a balcony where we could enjoy views of the beach through the trees when looking from one side of the balcony.The location is excellent - on the corner of The Esplanade, just a few steps from the beach and a short stroll from the jetty, shops and restaurants.The underground parking was also good, with an elevator in the basement taking us right up to our apartment entrance. You will build up muscles when opening the entrance door on the street when entering the apartment block - it is quite heavy to pull.Despite the living areas being very spacious and the bedrooms of a reasonable size, we did find both the main bathroom and the ensuite to be cramped.Check in and check out was easy - just call into First National Phillip Island on the way past to get the key, make your own way to the apartment (only 500 metres from their office), and drop the key back when you check out. We were advised that staff at First National are available 7 days a week if there are any issues, which we found to be much more reassuring than relying on dealing with a private property owner, who might not live anywhere near the property, to attend to any concerns we may have.I do think linen should be automatically included with properties like this, rather than having to pay extra for it and arrange for that service when booking, as most people don't travel around with clean bed sheets, pillow cases and towels packed in their car.Overall, highly recommended and we would certainly consider staying here again.

Top location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spacious apartment in top location on the waterfront combing spacious and comfortable interior with beach and pier mere steps away. A large balcony with bbq and large dining table perfect for outdoor dining or pre dinner drinks enjoying water views. Off street parking also provided. North Pier Hotel directly opposite apartment and Cowes Main Street two minutes walk away. Our only disappointments ... Wifi not provided, no smart tv so forget streaming your fav Netflix or Binge show. Tariff also does not include linen. At the price both wifi and linen should be a given.

Clean and comfortable apartment
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very pleasantly surprised. Apartment was very clean and nicely decorated with almost everything you need for a short stay. The only things missing are a table or storage drawers/cupboard in the third bedroom; having just a bunk bed in a room is not practical. I would also suggest a clock in the kitchen/lounge area and a sign next to the switch to the oven which is near impossible to find being black on black.Be careful when booking. We had apartment 9 and although it is advertised as "with a view", there is no sea view from this particular apartment.

Relaxing by the bay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great place to stay we walked everywhere. The property's location is fantastic. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back. Rooms are a great size clean and tidy. In the evening we sat out on the balcony taking in the views with the beach just across the street.We were fortunate enough on this visit to have the Cowes Esplanade /beach market.There is also a great little coffee shop downstairs that makes the best egg, bacon and cheese focaccias.Linen is an additional cost. We recommend bringing your own pillows as the ones supplied are not the most desirable.The master bedroom has a small TV we felt it should be wall mounted as it sits on a low stand and a bit hard to watch while in bed.There is a BBQ on the balcony however we didn't use it as it didn't look clean.The vacuum cleaner could also do with replacing as the one in the apartment is not the best. We have stayed in this apartment many times and overall we love coming back as often as we can. Just Brilliant!

Great location with spacious layout
Stayed during one of Phillip Islands rare hot spells and unit is not well equiped to deal with hot weather (no aircon in rooms). Some unexpected maintainence issues were adressed exceptionally well by both the owner and managing agent. A great place for a family get away.
