Property excellent for our family great location easy walk to beach shops etc. NEEDS more effort as far as cleaning and cleaning under beds and in the lounges and window frames. Queen bed in apartment 1 rolled across the room when I got into bed the first night plus headboard fell down. Found the slide under bed and my son replaced it so all was good after that. Toilet seat loose in apartment 2 queen bedroom plus no hand soap was supplied in the bathroom of apartment 2 queen bedroom. The oven in apartment 1 did not work which was a nuisance especially being there over Christmas. The barbecue was filthy and had to be cleaned before we could use it plus only a little gas left which impeded what we were going to cook and we were promised a replacement gas bottle in the end we changed what and how we would do the cooking. Boxing Day we were asked to go and get the bottle refilled so my son went and refilled the gas bottle a couple of days later. One of the single beds had a top sheet not the other which my granddaughter hated. Maybe supply a couple of extra sheets and towels to be on hand in the future if needed. There were tiles missing in the swimming pool, one of the steps going down from pool was broken and I thought quite dangerous. The back sliding door from lower area near laundry the lock was very loose and I think the house could be broken into easily.

Great spot
Location is spot on - quiet street across from Dutchies beach. Short walk in to Nelson Bay. Accommodation was great, good layout of the apartments especially for a large group. Place was not well cleaned on arrival though, it was fine but definitely in need of a deep clean.

Grand Dutchy
Looked looked the outside verandahs and pool area hadn't been cleaned in some time. 2 separate kitchens are difficult for a family (we knew about it, but hadn't quite worked out how disruptive it would be). Proximity to beach is brilliant. Good beach for younger kids.

Overall our stay was great. The property description stated there was wifi, but the property didn’t have its own. This was an issue for us. Location was lovely and the capacity of the accommodation was really great for our family.

It was wonderful to bring our children and grandchildren all together under one roof in a beautiful area which we knew from forty years ago. The Grand was ideal.

Relaxed beachfront holiday for family or group
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 had a great time at Dutchie's Beach; there was heaps of space in two separate apartments for our group, having ensuites in most bedrooms was a luxury and the living and dining areas as well as pool and BBQ were ideal for spending time together. The property manager called to check that everything was up to expectations which was a nice touch given that some of the past reviews had identified issues (which had all been attended to). Dutchie's Beach is a calm little oasis, great for kids and the walk into town along the path near the water is a nice activity. We would definitely consider staying again if coming to the area.

Amazing location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 have a large family with elderly parents & mobility issue but the house location was perfect for them, stairs were a little difficult and they could not access the pool as there was no railing for the pool step however the children enjoyed it and pool was very clean. The inside could of used a bit extra time on cleaning especially under the dining table, chairs, dusting the bed heads and fans. Overall perfect location, perfect for large families great views but more attention needed for cleaning.

Excellent location and great for large groups
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely home that accommodated 9 of us perfectly. Right across from the beautiful beach and only a 10 minute walk to the centre of town. Unfortunately during the stay one of the bathrooms completely flooded and whilst a plumber was immediately sent we were then unable to use that bathroom and the one above, which was frustrating as this wasn’t what we had paid for. The property is in need of some updates but overall a lovely place to stay.

The Grand
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: On the 1st day the pool was dark and murky and we were unable to swim in it. It did clear up, however the filter was not turned on for the 3 days we were there. It was difficult getting in and out of the pool as there was no hand rail. We had to get on our hands and knees and crawl in and out. The back steps leading down to the bbq area were dangerous as the riser for the top step was higher than the others. There was also a jaggered broken tile 1/2 way down. Two of our group tripped up the steps. We received a welcome card on arrival that said "enjoy the complimentary bottle of wine." However, the there was no bottle wine. For the price of the home, there were virtually no kitchen items provided. The list I received said there was oil, salt and pepper and dishwashing tabs. None of these existed. Also pods for the coffee machine should have been standard. There were 2 identical kitchens on different levels. However, the vast majority of utensils, glasses etc were in the bottom kitchen. It was annoying to have to go up and down if you wanted an egg flip or coffee cup. I would suggest the cleaners redistribute the kitchen items after each rental. More outdoor furniture would have been good. We were a group of 12 and there were 2 day beds. So only 2 people could sit in the sun at a time.
