Reviews of Beachside 2 with Private Heated Plunge Pool

It was comfortable, clean and a good location in a quieter part of port Douglas. Loved the plunge pool and the beach close by. It had plenty of essential items eg shampoo, body wash, cling wrap, sugar, sauces etc etc. Staff and communication was also excellent 😊

The plunge pool could have done with a smaller second step to get in and out. Plug in kitchen sink wouldn’t stay down and the plug in the sink in the bathroom got stuck down and didn’t drain very well. An extra garbage bag would be a good idea as well.

Liked everything would definitely book there again

There was nothing to dislike

Most of it I loved. Bed was good, shower was good, pool was awesome, loved the concrete areas.

I would have liked blinds or curtains, so the sun wouldn’t come into the room so early.

Having plunge pool in our private courtyard was great for relaxing after sightseeing 😉 & Bbq outside was also a bonus to enjoy the mild weather. 👍🏻 Good communication from owner meant easy access on arrival 🙏

Had great difficulty trying to get the electric induction hot plate to work consistently & no instructions to see how to fix... But we survived with Bbq instead 😉

Nice location, huge space for relaxing and many things to do.

The decor was lovely. I was able to check in a little early which was so fantastic as I'd missed a nights sleep travelling. The owner responded quickly when we needed hand towel and the pool temperature checked. The location was perfect for us as we could walk to our families other accomodation. It is right near the beach The bathroom had a door. The plunge pool was such a bonus.

We didn't realise The accomodation was open plan sleeping with no bedrooms. When I booked for myself, my niece and her partner a 2 bedroom appt, we expected there to be actual bedrooms. whilst it was lovely decor it made it tricky as my niece and her partner were essentially sleeping next to the kitchen which meant I couldn't have breakfast or boil the kettle etc till quite a while later than I would have preferred. Getting changed was tricky, amongst other things. Thankfully we just looked on the funny side and it was only 3 nights.

A short stroll to 4 mile Beach made this a great location. The tavern a few minutes walk away was great also. The plunge pool was an added bonus. The shuttle buses were an easy way to get into town.

Few things needed some attention. The kitchen basin plug didn't work so it was difficult to wash up. Some of the lights didn't work. Insufficient shelves for storage.

The location

The images online were misleading. The property had a smell and was not clean. The utensils and dinnerware was out on the bench, not cupboards/storage in kitchen and used items left in the fridge. The plunge pool was not heater and the outdoor very claustrophobic with a rollaway bed out there. The property owner had no interest in rectifying or accommodating our requests

OK.

It was advertised as a apartment, but it was a studio. Also, it was advertised with a heated pool, but the water was cold. I sent the owner a email and he said he would come and fix it but never showed up. We were very disappointed it was to cold to use.

The stoce did not work

It was just a stone throw to the beach.

The location is lovely since its close to the beach but there really isnt much more around, the bed was decently comfy

First of all the heated pool wasnt even actually heated as advertised! If your going to use the pool as main advertisement, first photos of the property then the pool should at least work. The heater connected to the pool was broken because i made sure all the plugs were connected as thats all i could do as the property manager said not to touch the settings on the pool, the entire weekend i was there the pool did not turn on or heat up even once, wee werent given any instructions or anything.not to mention so many handles, hooks, shower racks, and anything else that had been hung on the way INCLUDING THE SHOWER HEAD was literally falling off the wall as it hadnt even been secured properly which is a majot hazard especially for the shower head because its so loose it could fall off at any moment and hit someone in the head. The bedsheets didnt smell washed- they literally smelt of someone elses perfume and cologne, the couch isnt comfy at all you can barely sit on it if you weigh more than 50 kgs, its pathetic the way these people are advertising an absolute scam!

Beach location was nice

Abuse/Threats about deformation and his lawyer from the Owner when addressing honest feedback and reporting the properties cleanliness, pest control issues, diseatful description and hygiene to bookings.com. No mutual agree was made. Unprofessional approach to rectifying issues. Ruining our stay.

Close to the beach, and the pub, fish n chip shop round the corner.

Property was extremely clean and had everything you could think you would need on a get away. Such a cute little unit!

Wouldn’t recommend if you need privacy with the people you’re staying with (no enclosed bedroom, studio style) I stayed with my daughter so it was fine for us.

The location is superb. The plunge pool was awesome.

Everything is concrete, which made me a little nervous with a 5 year old, but we managed. It is open plan with no doors. The second bedroom is more like a little nook. However, that suited our 5 yr old daughter to a tee so no complaints there.

Clean and fresh

Nothing

They provided all the bits we needed, including beach towels and even sunscreen. The interior was stunning and the location was ideal.

We didn’t realise that it wasn’t two separate bedrooms- perhaps we didn’t read closely.

Very cosy apartment close to the park for kids and close to beach.

My only fault would be the heated plunge pool was cold. The timer it has for pump and heater was not enough to heat the pool whatsoever other than that I would return
