Amazing Surf Vibe
We stayed here over the last school holiday weekend in October. The property is perfect for a small family with slightly older kids, great rooms, beds and amenities in the property. Very cosy and had everything you need to enjoy a short stay. We loved the proximity to all things Central Coast has to offer. Rachel was a wonderful host too.

Best Stay
The property was immaculate and the perfect shack for a group of four girls to have a girls trip; we felt comfortable living there. The host was also extremely easy to reach. All in all, the stay was fantastic and everything was close by, including wonderful beaches. We had nothing but positive things to say about our stay. Everything was flawless.

Worst host!
We have used stayz few times and have always had great review from our rental places. We had to rent an accommodation in Sydney at the last minute coming from interstate. We have arrived really late in the afternoon and checking out 3 days after at a really early morning. We booked a 3 bedroom place for 3 people and right away the host called us on our mobile to let us know there will be an additional charge for using the 3rd bedroom!First redflag there. The ad was misleading and as we are already paying too much for an accommodation 90 minutes outside of Sydney, we declined. We opted to just use two bedrooms and use the third one as it is. Host said they will not provide extra pillows and blankets for the third bedroom if we don't pay extra. Ad is misleading as it said 3 bedrooms! The house was neat but really out of the way from CBD. You have to take roads that are winding and have sharp corners. Not ideal If you are coming home late from the city. The place itself though is tidy and nicely set up. However the host tried to extort us for extra fee claiming we have additional guests due to neighbours seeing 2 more additional people. The people who rode with us going back interstate did not stay over with us. Additionally, the house itself as per stayz customer service can accommodate 6 people and no additional charges need to be imposed. We left at 3am in the morning with all rubbish taken out and kept everything tidy. Again, all our home rental have been excellent. The host claimed that the place was left dirty and wanted additional fee. She kept on making up stories to extort additional fee. So many red flags with the owner trying to communicate with us outside of the app! Pls be warned!
